If you're using Outlook Express (OE) I can think of two reasons this might be happening.  Firstly, if you've uninstalled a web browser that was set as your default browser (such as Firefox or Opera etc) and OE doesn't know how to open the hyperlink.  Or if you've installed a web browser from your ISP such as AOL.  Secondly, it could be a problem with the setup of DLL files on your computer (these need to be set up for OE to work with hyperlinks).\n\nIf it's the first one, then you can set Internet Explorer (IE) to open hyperlinks as your default browser.  Open IE and go to the 'Tools' menu and click on 'Internet options'.  Select the 'Programs' tab, and ensure that the option 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser' is selected.  Click 'Ok'.\n\nYou'll find lots of helpful suggestions using the links below.  Check each one of them because there are quite a number of possible problems.  I've assumed you're using Outlook Express though, because you haven't said which email program you're having the problem with.  If you update the question then I'll update my answer.\n\nIn the first link below you'll need to scroll down to "Opening hyperlinks doesn't work and other problems" where it will explain about sorting out problems with DLL files that might cause your hyperlinks to fail.\n\nAll the best - I hope this helps with your problem.

It might not be your email. It could be your browser. I had the same problem, and my son (who is an IT person with the state of Georgia) told me to download the Firefox browser. I did. Works great. I'm still having the same problem with the Microsoft Internet Explorer that came with my computer ... and every other computer I've ever owned.  \n\nTry it ... but you will have to either set it as the default browser or open it manually when you want to surf the net or check your email. Copy the address below to get connected with Firefox!\n\nGood luck!

You need to give more information, i.e. what email client are you using?  (Lookout express, Eudora, Web-based Yahoo, etc.)\n\nBut likely you client is broken, reboot your computer and if that doesn't work, reinstall you email program!

What are you using to mail, outlook express or some other program on your 'puter?  If so, do you have a firewall?  It may be blocking your outgoing mail.\nIf you are using Yahoo's web based email, contact them for help.

You have two settings.  One is mail.(yourserver).com or net, whatever your email is.  The other is SMTP.(your server).Com or net. eg..\nmail.comcast.net\nsmtp.comcast.net.\nMake sure your settings match these.  You will have to access the tools menu from your email account.

Go to google.com.  Type in "hotmail".  Click the first link.  For some reason, that works.

Please specify what email service you use. If it's Yahoo mail, just paste the entire link, including the http://

If you have a pop-up blocker, this may be stopping new web pages from opening. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Pop-Up Blocker and see if that is turned off.\n\nAnother possibility is that if you're clicking links in emails to visit the web pages, you may have to hold the CTRL key while clicking the link. If this doesn't work you can always copy the link, open Internet Explorer, and paste the link in the address bar (and hit ENTER).

You've just bumped into a new security feature of Outlook.  Here's how to open the link:\n\n1.  Open the email (the preview pane won't work for this)\n\n2.  Near the top of the window, you'll see a place you can click to allow HTML links.\n\nAfter you allow the links, you'll be able to click on the links to go to web sites.
