What gives? If I have assisted you in any way so you may help another then this was entirely worth it. I have read your blog on changing your email default with some of the other franchise companies, but what if I have my own server?
This did not work for me, even after installing Yahoo Messenger 9. The drop down list on Internet Options only contains three options on my IE 8 I followed your instructions Therefore I have no alternative but to go round the houses and send forward the whole e-mail aritcle.
Is this because this is a version of IE? Or is there something else that a non-computer expert needs to do or know? So Now What? What u have suggested was absolutelu useless. I tried what u said on making yahoo mail my server, did not work.. I reloaded messanger and nothing.. By some fluke I ended up in a section calling for defaults to be set.
This is a new computer to me, and I am not good at transitions, I see. I also note that there are two or three Explorers installed, apparently. It giveS the message ordinal could not be located. You made may day. Then I made one more try passed on deductions I had made from all of the above.
That did it. You may want to rewrite it for Windows 7, but it was close enough for me to find in Windows 7. My search was the exact message I was getting on the Windows 7 screen when I was trying to send and email directly from a pdf document. By the way, when I went to the Mail Icon I got another crazy pop up that was looking for a profile. However the information they asked for meant nothing to me, so it was worthless.
I have Win 7 and IE 8. The only option is Outlook as default mail. I would like to keep the version I have. I recently reformatted my computer to factory settings, but before I did that I had been able to change the default email to Hotmail. Any ideas? I have downloaded Yahoo tool bar and Yahoo Messenger and still do not get Yahoo mail in the list under Internet Options.
My internet service is Verizon wireless. My email address is myname verizon. Leo, Leo, Leo! I need help. I downloaded the browser tools with my yahoo messenger, but still do not show an option of yahoo mail being brought up as my default should I wish to click on a link on a website. Windows Live wants me to share my email addy password. That is not an option I wish to choose. I simply want to click on a website mailto link and have my yahoo email pop up.
This was so simple to fix in my XP many years ago. Where do I go from here? Toni Unfortunately, Microsoft is being arrogant in this case. Whenever you run Outlook, it automatically sets itself as the default mailto: address. They assume that if you are using it, you want it to be your main email client. I went into the Outlook options to try changing this. Maybe someone else out there has a solution.
Poppy will configure to let you know when any email hits your server for just about any pop account or IMAP account IMAP which will download all folders from your web based account. After much messing around with Gmail Notifier and Google Talk, neither of which made Gmail the default over Outlook, and turning off Outlook as my default email I was mighty frustrated.
Nancy You may have Windows 7, and it looks different in there. Hope this works. I have tried all these fixes and nothing works as advertised. I am running win 7 pro logged on as an admin and IE There is NO way here to select Hotmail.
I DO want my Outlook to still be associated with my calendaring, appointments, etc.. That is, a IE mailto web link would use Hotmail and Outlook would go along merrily using pop3 type email. Any help please? This seems like it should be such a simple thing. I have years in IT with Microsoft software and I cant seem to fix this one on my own. These posts seem to be pretty old, so I hope someone is still listening.
Ok, that was my last hope, now I am really stumped. Help please. I am confused tho, the whole point of your article was using Hotmail within internet explorer, complete with and as in your first example. Ah, yes. I need to update this article.
That appears to no longer be the case. It normally should work. When you paste it, check the address which is pasted to see what actually is there. I have run across your answers before! And you are a genius! I have been looking and looking for an answer to a little issue for a while now, and then I found you have dealt with this previously! Here is the situation: I cannot find the correct method for removing the expired trial version of Outlook which was included with Windows 10 and Microsoft Office Home and Business Office I have Word and also Excel which I use in my business.
This trial has expired. I do not use Outlook at all. I prefer to use gmail as the default email. I want to be able to click on any link to reply or send an email and have gmail pop open like Outlook tries to do.
Please let me know if this works: Go to the Settings app. Click the icon to the left. Click on the one you want. When it pastes into the BCC column, all the email addresses come up, with a space between each one… but no comma or anything between the emails. I then have to start over, paste all emails, then go through and put a comma in between each individual email.
It would probably work if you placed a comma at the end of each email address in your spread sheet. That way, each email address you paste will have a comma after it. You may have to remove the last comma, but that would be quite simple.
You could probably even automate the process of adding the comma by doing an automatic replace, For example replace all.
If one Note book goes down with a virus or what ever, I am able to fire up my 2nd Toshiba and all is good. I took your advice and everything worked out great.

I prefer to send and receive my messages using my Gmail account. Can you tell me how I can set it up so that when sending a message as explained above, Gmail will come up as my email carrier?
