I have Vista and its not giving me an option to use a different email. It wants me to set up with my internet carrier and I don't use that email.|||For Windows Vista users You can only use Firefox browser. for Yahoo as default email program. Microsoft Windows update disable the Add-in program for Windows Vista, but you can still use Yahoo Messenger.
If you're using Firefox 3...
1.At the top of Firefox 3, click Tools and select Options.
2.In the "Options" window, click Applications from the choices along the top.
3.Scroll down to "mailto", and click on it.
4.In the pull-down menu to the right of "mailto", click Use Yahoo! Mail.
5.Click OK at the bottom of the Firefox 3 window. You're done!
If you use Internet Explorer...
The tiny program that allows you to select Yahoo! Mail as the default email application for your PC is included as part of Yahoo! Toolbar version 7.2 and up for Internet Explorer (not Firefox).
If you don't have Yahoo! Toolbar v.7.2 or later for Internet Explorer installed, you鈥檒l need to download it before proceeding with these instructions.
Here鈥檚 how to set your PC to open Yahoo! Mail when you click an email link on a web page.
1.From the "Start" pop-up menu in the lower left corner of your desktop, select "Settings" %26gt; "Control Panel".
2.In the Control Panel, select "Internet Options". This opens the "Internet Properties" window.
3.Click the "Programs" tab along the top.
4.Click the "E-mail" pull-down menu, and select Yahoo! Mail.
5.Click OK. Done!
We鈥檙e sorry there鈥檚 not an official version for the Mac鈥攜et.
Note: Yahoo! Toolbar v.7.2 and above for Internet Explorer (not Firefox) is the download that adds Yahoo! Mail to your PC's list of email programs to choose from. But after you've chosen Yahoo! Mail as your PC's default email application, Yahoo! Mail will open when you click an email link in any browser.
