I'm not sure if you can set Yahoo as default.  My options are Outlook Express and Hotmail.\n\n**UPDATE** Okay, I found out for you.  Here goes:\n\nVisit this link\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ext/ext-11.html\n\nthen click 'Continue', It will say "The driver has been succesfully downloaded".  You may have to install an ActiveX control (a bar will pop up at the top of the window after a few seconds - click the bar then click Install ActiveX Control).  You're done.  To make sure it worked:\n\nIn Internet Explorer's menu bar, click Tools - Internet Options, then click the 'Programs' tab.  Under the 'Email' dropdown box it should say "Yahoo! Mail".

check the location you are downloading this file to, and make sure if it is an .exe file, you go back once it's downloaded and doubleclick on it to install it.  Otherwise, it won't do a thing to help your computer.  As far as making yahoo your default email provider, is this for Outlook?  Check out the following information and link:\n\n"The ability to access Yahoo! Mail via a POP3 email client (such as Outlook or Outlook Express) is only available to customers of our premium Yahoo! Mail Plus service. \nIf you have not purchased the Yahoo! Mail Plus service, you will be unable to retrieve messages via an email client. To determine whether or not you have purchased this service, please visit the My Services page. "\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-40.html\n\nThere are links on this yahoo mail FAQ page for most email client software programs.\n\nGood luck.

Hi,\nIf you do not find 'hotmail' as one of your e-mail choices when you click on the program tabs, under the internet options from the tools on IE. Try clicking on START >>>>then click on the SET PROGRAM ACCESS AND DEFAULTS icon >>>The Add/Remove Program window will open and you will have the option of using the following three choices 1. Microsoft   2. Non-Microsoft or 3.) Custom>>>>>>CHOOSE 'CUSTOM' and it will give you the opportunity to 'choose your current e-mail program as your 'default' e-mail program.  When you have finished customizing your access to the various program choices, Click OK.  You may find that once you set this 'program access' up in this manner, that it will also then appear under your tools menu on IE.  Hope this helps.

Here's the problem. Ordinarily you can't make web based mail your default mail. However, Yahoo! did create a Yahoo! default mail program which allows you to set Yahoo! Mail as the default mail...the problem is that in their extreme lameness, they only made an Internet Explorer version. You can still use Firefox and that Yahoo! application, however, every time you click on an email link it will open up Internet Explorer and go to Yahoo Mail, rather than doing so in Firefox. \n\nYahoo is clueless when it comes to anything other than Microsoft.\n\nLink for Yahoo! Default email application:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ext/ext-09.html
