If you'd rather have the Contact Us links use Yahoo directly rather than
Outlook Express, then see: How can I make Yahoo! Mail my default email application? http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ext/ext-09.html If you want OE to send without having to do the manual send and receive, then set Tools, Options, Send, Send Immediately. Being the default mail program determines which program is used to send a new message when another program (such as IE on a contacts us link) wants to send an e-mail. It has no affect on receiving messages. That's determined by running any mail program and having it receive mail regardless of whether or not it is the default. As to the problem of OE saving sent messages, if you have more than one identity, it might not be using the one you think. Look at File, Identities, Manage Identities. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "David42" wrote in message ... Hi, I use Yahoo for most of my e-mail activities.

Hi Mike,
That was a real eye opener, thanks very much. The only element that isn't sorted is the 'send immediately'. That was already set. But I will wait and see how things shake down as this was a pretty major change on my e-mail set-up. Thanks again, Dave.

Had more time to look at this lot now.
Although I made Yahoo the default mail application when I clicked on a 'contact us' link it did not throw up a Yahoo mail compose window. In fact it was the same as before. (I did check in OE that Yahoo was shown as the default mail application.) I mentioned that 'send immediately' was already ticked in OE options. It doesn't seem that there is much that I can do about that. The only difference that I can see is that my selected newsgroups have all been wiped out!!!

You might want to contact Yahoo about that program. According to the
help, it's supported to work for - Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP - Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher Perhaps something on your system prevented it from running after download. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "David42" wrote in message ...
