How to change the default e-mail program on my laptop

macgyver

Hi there,
I am suing the Dell inspiron laptop and eversince I have been using it, the default email is the outlook express. In my previous laptop it was Yahoomail, which I want in here as well.
I have tried going through setting program access and then to sutom but it does not give an option of putting in yahoo.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

As far as I know, yahoo mail is web based. That is to say, you have to log into you're yahoo account and do it from there.

You can direct e-mails you receive from yahoo direct to your outlook express in box. I don't know about sending through outlook express though, sorry.

In the past I've had to install it twice sometimes to get it to work.
You must use Internet Explorer to visit the page



EDIT: Just tried it - that page makes the same mistake it's always done every time I visit- when you click on the link on that page it takes you to a page saying "The driver has been successfully downloaded..."

but in actual fact it hasn't - you have to wait for the dialogue box and give it permission
