Click "Next."


In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").

Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on:

Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Properties" button


Click on the "Advanced" tab


Next to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587

Reply:I think this problem is solved by itself, when you install outlook express and configure an email account. Somewhere in the process, the program asks you if you want outlook express to be your default mail program. Just click Yes.
Reply:Assuming that you have Windows XP, go to Start menu, "All programs", then click on "Set Program Access and Defaults". Somewhere in the following window you can specify to use Outlook Express as your default program.
