Yahoo is web based e-mail, unless you pay for POP through Yahoo. Just in case you don't know, POP is where the e-mail is downloaded to your compuer, but web-mail is stored on the server on the web.  You can usually view POP mail through the web, but it doesnt work the other way around.\n\nWhen you click the e-mail link on a webstie, the browser handles the HTML tag by opening up the default mail program on your computer, and putting the e-mail address in the "to" field.\n\nOne solution is to sign up for POP access.  This will allow that cool e-mail feature to work.  You can do that through your ISP for free, Yahoo and MSN charge a little bit.  I use Bluebottle (it's free!)  Then set up Entourage, or preferably the program that came on the mac called Mail, as your default e-mail reader.\n\nIf you're too lazy or confused to do that, click on the Mail program, go to Prefernces, and under the General tab, choose Mail(version) as your default e-mail reader.  This will bring up Mail instead of Entourage, and will be less annoying to close.

OK lets presume for a minute that you are referring to Yahoo Mail and you access it from the website.\n\nFirstly, LOG IN. no settings can be changed unless you're in the system, when you've done that, go to Mail options /General Preferences \n"Customise your Inbox view and your Compose options. Change your outgoing name and address"\n\nWith in that menu window, right at the TOP is the option for you to select the name that you want to appear to recipients  when you sen a message, this can be changed (with in reason) to whatever you want it to say.\n\nAlso on this page are a selection of other options, but its always worth recording the settings as they currently are before you decide to try changes. This would be because 95% of the time, the defaults will not need to be changed. \n\nIts quite easy to do, and whatever your email provider is, threre'll be a similar similar method. However if this is an emaiol address from your ISP and uses a program like Outlook then speak to the tech support from there...

ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com"). \nPassword: Enter your Yahoo! password.\n\nDo not check the box next to "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)." \nClick the "More Settings" box and select the "Outgoing Server" tab. \nCheck the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication." \nIf you would like to keep a copy of your email messages on the Yahoo! Mail server, select the "Advanced" tab.

To make this change, please follow the directions below: \n\n\nFrom the "Tools" menu, select "E-mail Accounts" \nSelect "View or Change existing email accounts" and click on "Next" \nSelect your Yahoo!

Yahoo Mail is not an email program on your computer - it's an email website. Because it's not an program on your computer, you can't tell XP to make it your default email program. However, you *can* make it your browser's home page so that everytime you start up your browser, it takes you right to Yahoo Mail.\n\nIf your browser is Internet Explorer, to make Yahoo mail your browser's home page, select "Tools, Options" from the menu bar, then, in the top text field on the General tab (the field labeled "Address" in the area labeled "Home page"), type or paste in the URL for Yahoo Mail.  (If you don't know the URL or how to find and copy it, then go to the Yahoo Mail page however you normally do, then click the "Use Current" button that's right under the "Address" field we were just talking about).\n\nIf you use Netscape, the instructions are similar, but you'll need to select "Edit, Preferences" from the menu bar instead, select the "Home page" radio button in the "Display on" area, then type the URL for Yahoo Mail in the "Location" field in the "Home Page" area.\n\nIf you're using some other browser, you'll need to access the preferences screen however you do it in that browser, then look for somewhere that you can do something similar to what I described for Internet Explorer and/or Netscape. (If you can't find it on your own, check the browser's Help file for assistance!)\n\nHope this helps...
