Windows Mail vs. Yahoo email

I have an existing Yahoo email account that I use. Now that I have a new
laptop I want to continue using Yahoo email. When I tried to email a picture
to someone I right-clicked on the picture, went down to Send To, and clicked
on Email Recipient. Windows Mail popped up but it won't let me send
anything. I do not want to use Windows Mail. I want to continue to use
Yahoo Email as my default email. How do I get rid of Windows Mail?

It's part of Vista and very hard to remove without also removing the rest
of Vista. However, you can keep it from doing much of anything by
clicking of Tools then Accounts, then your email account, then Remove.

RE: Windows Mail vs. Yahoo email

Try changing server port number of outgoing mail (SMTP) from 25 to 587.
Go to tools-accounts-advanced and change 25 to 587
should work
