Unfortunately the reps answering calls at Yahoo know next to nothing.
Yahoo's written instructions are better.
If you read those instructions, it clearly states that if you don't see
"Yahoo Mail", then you will need to install Yahoo Messenger.
Yahoo Messenger will add the Yahoo Mail entry to the Default Programs list.
You don't actually have to use Yahoo Messenger.
