    How to set Yahoo Mail as the default


    I tried this:

    START
    Default Programs
    Set Default Program

    That's as far as I got. I don't see Yahoo Mail in the list shown.

    You can only set email clients such as outlook or thunderbird as a default not an email provider. You'll have to set up Yahoo on one of those email clients in order to set it up as a default.
