Default Set default email in Microsoft Outlook

I use Outlook Express. My email is yahoo.co.uk. I use Mailwasher Pro. I tag
with MSGTAG. Windows XP Home. Microsoft Office 2003. When I try to click on
an email address in a window or on an email to create new mail a box appears
with '' default mail client is not properly installed'' I have tried
''fiddling'' with my email option and accounts and into Microsoft Outlook but
still get this fault box. Can any one help. I tried Microsoft but was advised
to ask a discussion group. Many thanks

Default Set default email in Microsoft Outlook

Your default mail client is set in IE. The normal default client if Office is
installed is Microsoft Outlook (also for contacts and calendar), with Outlook
Express the default for newsgroups.

To change this, open IE and click on Tools Internet Options Programs.

If this is not the issue, please advise. Thanks!

Default Set default email in Microsoft Outlook

Hi. Done that and Email says Microsoft Outlook but nothing else in box. I
need to be able to change the program that Windows uses for Internet service.
How do I tell Microsoft Outlook to use my @yahoo.co.uk
Thanks

In Outlook do Tools-Account Settings and on the Email tab click on New. You
are fortunate that yahoo uk allows you POP access to your free Yahoo UK
email account......log in to your Yahoo account in your web browser and in
the Help section it will tell you the settings to input....

ticks. So will try to see if the yahoo POP becomes the default one.
