| | 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? -- MPG |

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 Gabriel "MPG" wrote: Quote: > I have an existing Yahoo email account that I use.
