How can I get Yahoo mail to come up when I click the mail Icon on my tool bar
or click send mail from my computer?
I am running window XP home edition
IE 6.0
when I go to tools, options, programs, it is not in the list of choices
when I go to the add remove to make it my default e-mail it is not in the
list of choices.
Both my husband and I have free yahoo email accounts
My wife has yahoo mail in all the places mentioned above and her mail comes
up yahoo just fine.
I have been hunting and reading help menus for 2 hours now and no where can
I find out how to enable this fuction
Thank you

when you go to Yahoo mail, is there an option to set it as your default mail
program?

looks like your wife was typing and then you jumped in.
Both my husband and I have free yahoo email accounts

Of course , Outlook or express can be set as default.

Do a google search for a program called ypops

You'll need to download and install the MAPI plug-in from Yahoo!
