Hi Moda29,

Welcome the forum.

I seen a lot of posts with people having problems with Craigs list. It may be something specific to that site. What exactly is the problem that you are having? What is is doing?

Shawn

Hi Shawn
the problem that I am having is that when I try to reply to a Craigslist email I get a message saying could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed IM using pop for my mail thanks for your help Andy

Ok Moda 29,

Make sure that Windows Mail and Internet Explorer is set as the default programs. Select one and click Set this program as default, and repeat for the other one.

See: How to Add Back and Set Windows Mail Default Associations

Shawn

They are both set as default but still getting the same message

Moda29,

Do you have problems replying to any other email from other places?

Shawn

Yes every email from a web site gives me the same message again thanks for trying to solve this problem for me Im sure it is just something stupid Andy

Andy,

I went to Craigs list and tried to reproduce your problem, but I can still reply to a email link. You might consider switching to Windows Live Mail (WLM) instead. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and has a separate Inbox for each account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check "Show all menus".

Windows Live Suite Downloads

Hope this helps you,
Shawn

Thanks again I will give it a try
