Changing the default email address in OE6

[wdc]

Before I dropped Comcast as my email address <<[email protected]>> and switched to <<[email protected]>> I was able to send a URL link by clicking File/Send and filling in the adressee. I believe the message went by way of my OE.

Can someone please tell me how I change the OE settings to make OE treat my new Yahoo account as my default setting? Thanks.

wdc--A change in email service providers should not change the sending of a hyperlink.
Did something change OE as the "Default" email program?
In addition to the method described in jdc2000's link, there are other ways to make sure OE is default. Using them all does not hurt.
OE Tools|Options|one of the tabs allows you to set the default. (Forgive me, I no longer have OE.) Using IE6/7 you could also look at IE Tools|Internet Options|Programs tab and set the default email program.

In order to use Outlook Express to send and receive email via Yahoo!, I believe you need their "Yahoo! Mail Plus" ($19.99/year).
