Vista - my email

here is hopefully an easy question. i want to have my free yahoo email
account as my defalut email. so when i click on a link to email someone,
lets say like on craigslist, i want my yahoo email account to come up. i am
begining to think that that would be an impossible task for vista. somebody
please help, this is driving me nuts. thanks

In Internet Exploder, click tools, Internet Options
On the Programs Tab, click the email option, choose Yahoo from the list.
If it's not on the list, download the yahoo mail/browser tool from
yahoo.com.

Also, I forgot to mention that a free Yahoo account can NOT be used through
Windows Mail or other email software, it is online/browser based only.
To use Yahoo with a mail client/POP3 requires a paid account.

Not quite true. I have a free yahoo account that I can use with
Thunderbird and two add-ons.

Only if you use yahoo.ca or yahoo.com. All other Yahoo domains can be
used with any email program you like. I have three with the yahoo.es domain.

Or an add-on bit of software. FreePOPs works well for me, it's here:

It's free, of course, would I be using it if it wasn't? <G>
