I like to enter a few competitions whilst watching TV and have just bought a new laptop and I have a Yahoo account.
On my old computer, when I clicked on a e-mail address of where to send my entry it went straight to my Yahoo account. My new one takes me to set up Outlook.
How can I change the link ?
