If you are using Yahoo Mail as your primary Email provider then you might want to set Yahoo Mail as the default mail service so that when you click any email links, it opens Yahoo Mail and composes a new mail with that email address.
Yahoo has not provided this feature for a long time and yesterday when I was browsing, it gave a pop-up mentioning that I can setup Yahoo as the default mail.
So how to set Yahoo Mail as the default Email Provider?
Go the Inbox in Yahoo Mail and on the top right corner, click the Options.
Now, click the option, set Y! Mail as default webmail.
Note: The option is new and it is currently available only in Firefox and I believe Yahoo would make this option available in IE also soon.
i think intalling yahoo messenger and set in the pref. to yahoo mail to be the defaul mail for windows can set yahoo to be the default for all browsers .
firefox and IE
Not anymore vista updates disabled that option
@Dell, Are you sure? I am having Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Updates up to date and I still have the option working. (But as I said only in Firefox and not in IE)
thanx
This (Yahoo as mail default) used to work for me, but Vista thoughtfully “corrected” (read: disabled) this bit of programming from Yahoo. I’m glad that Yahoo has corrected the problem in Firefox, and I look forward to the day when they fix it (again!) in IE as well.
Thanks! Your suggestion worked for me too!
