Maybe you don't have the latest version of Yahoo Messenger: http://messenger.yahoo.com All I know is that installing that is supposed to add "Yahoo Mail" as one of the selections in Default Programs. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "smjaczko" <smjaczko@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1564E257-BF4D-4812-B22D-098852107D21@xxxxxx Quote: > HUH, I already have and use YIM! > > "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: > Quote: >> 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. >> -- >> Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP >> >> >> "smjaczko" <smjaczko@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:2985F40A-FA5E-40C3-A38E-79FD12C3F6C2@xxxxxx Quote: >> > Yahoo, said they dont have that feature, and Ive tried the instructions on >> > the link, there is no option for yahoo mail.

| | Re: WM to just send mail, not recieve it! Thanks for your input. It would appear then that Yahoo's instructions for adding Yahoo Mail to the list of default email programs is incorrect: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...ttings-10.html -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "bad_the_ba" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:8d67a732eafd19b58f89e9cef1457fc1@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
