you must have switched your default email settings, go into your tools and change them, good luck.

depends on what mail program you are using. If all you are using is yahoo messanger, there is an option under preferences->alerts and sounds for when you recieve an email to your yahoo account.\n\nIf you are using an actual email client to get your mail, such as outlook or Thunderbird, there are options in its preferences as well.

That depends on what you mean, have it open your outlook express? or, go to the server where your mail is stored? If your outlook is set to default, it should open whenever you click a mail link. If you want to view your mail from Your ISP, you will need to go to their site. To set outlook as your default, open it, click tools, click accounts, hilite your mail server and click make default.

check the following...\nopen outlook express, menu tools|options security tab, make sure "Block images and other..." is uncheck\nconnection tab, change button, advanced tab, restore defaults button, make sure show pictures under multimedia is checked.\nIf still no, Security tab as above, click radio button next to "Internet zone (less..."\nSometime, link to image might changed before you read the email, so check email more often might help too.

I don't have Outlook Express in front of me, but from memory:\n\nThere's a setting that controls behaviour after checking mail; by default, it's set to hang up your connection.  It lives in Tools > Options > Connections; go there, and uncheck the 'Hang up after sending or receiving' box.  You'll then stay online after hitting Send / Receive.\n\nI would recommend using a different program, though; OE is very poor and insecure.  Thunderbird is my preference; http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/\n\nHope that helps!

I've been using Yahoo email for something like 10 years and never come across that. Likely a problem with your browser. Contact Yahoo mail support, they'll email you an answer within a couple days.

Likely the content is blocked by your security settings.  If this a corporate computer - then this is most likely controlled from the domain level (group policy settings).  If this is a home computer - then this is controlled there.  You may want to review your local security policy (Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Local Security Policy).  Also - the e-mail client you are using may impact this.  If you are using Microsoft Outlook Express - read this link from Microsoft:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/843018

Should be the settings in the email software you are using.  Without knowing which software you are using for your email it is hard to tell you how to change it.  If it is Outlook then look under Tools|Email Accounts

Try this if you have "yahoo mail PLUS"\n\n1. Open up Outlook Express\n2. Click Tools at the top of your screen, then Accounts\n3. Click "Add" then "Mail"\n4. Follow the wizard\n5. When it comes to the "Email Server Names", "My Incoming mail server is" set it to POP3\n6. Incoming Mail as: pop.mail.yahoo.com\n7. Outgoing Mail as: smtp.mail.yahoo.com\n\n\nIf you have a normal Yahoo account it doesn't support POP3 and you can't check your emails in Outlook.

Outlook Express might be protecting you from what it sees as a dodgy attachment, or you may not have the right file associations. Instead save it, and then right click on the file and choose a program to launch it. And hope it's not a virus.

Well, there could be a couple reasons for this...\n\nFirst - You are probably running XP w/service pack 2 (check this by right clicking on My Computer and selecting properties, on the General Tab it will tell you). If this is the case...the firewall is probably on. If you open control panel, you will see "Windows Firewall" as one of the icons. Click on that, select the Exceptions tab, and you are going to make sure theire is a check in the box for your messenger. This should help....\n\nSecond - If this is an HP, Dell, Compaq, or other big chain PC, ther are probably running a virus/security suite. You do not want to have 2 firewalls running (unless you are paranoid). If you have this suite (Internet security or something like that) I would disable the firewall option and just go with the windows version (or you can disable the windows and go with the other)...\n\nEither of these should fix your problem with the messenger, now for the mail issue.\n\nIf you are running Outlook Express, there is a setting to disable attachments. You can check this by clicking on tools --> options, then click on the security tab. There will be 2 radials and 2 boxes.. the second box is what you might want to uncheck..\n\nHope this helps ....

Start Outlook Express.\nGo to Tools -> Settings.\nOn the General tab there is a message: This application is not the default mailer; there is a button beside it: Default...\nClick on it!

That'll be a program problem, unlikely to have something to do with Yahoo- try the normal things like reinstalling your browser and giving your computer a clean up- That message is probably one of the most annoying, irritating, incomprehensible common computer messages that you'll get.\n\nIf the above doesn't work, then I'm sure one of the more computer-savvy people on here will help you out.

Sounds like your mail settings aren't correct.  If you're using Outlook it will be in Tools Accounts, check with your mail provider.

Try directly typing the yahoo mail address in the address bar. It some times happens with the desktop icon.
