Email Setup

redrum3g · Jul 18, 2007

I was wondering do anybody know how to set my default email to yahoo or aol instead of outlook for i can email somebody directly from my desktop?

I don't think that we can setup a web-based email as your default email client directly, but it may be possible that we setup your web-based email accounts to be accessed by an email client installed on your system. (ie., we could setup Outlook [or an alternative] to download email from Yahoo)

Is this something you would be interested in? Let us know.

Problem here is Yahoo is a web page and AOL is its own standalone internet program. Someone may have other ideas, but you could set up AOL in Outlook Express:

Under AOL settings you can find the default email setting as well.

I have no idea what your talking about. No one said anythign about hacking and your not really clear on what you want to do. Try the steps I mentioned.

From this link:

You can use Outlook with many Yahoo! Mail e-mail accounts. However, free Web browser-based Yahoo! Mail accounts based in China, Taiwan, or the United States can only be used in Outlook if you have a paid subscription Yahoo! Mail account that includes POP3 access and forwarding.

I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.
