Windows 10: Make Yahoo Mail default email client on Windows 7 on Edge

How to make Yahoo Mail the default email client on Windows 7 using Edge?

:)

 

Default Mail Client

Scenario 1

Possibly, whatever he/she used to access their email, that client asked if they wanted to make it default and you are not setup in that to send or receive email.

Look through your email client settings and make your default or, if, you are using Windows.
See here:
Change the default e‑mail program
and
How To Change Default Email Client

Or, you can try to re-install the email client/app.

Scenario 2

You are saying you had to Dban your desktop; I will assume you wiped your drive and re-installed the O/S and apps. If this is the case you will need to setup your email, again... make sure you have used the proper settings for your email provider (incoming and out going server addresses, ports, pop3, SMTP, SSL and security settings, passwords, log-ins, etc.).
If you overlook one little item, you may receive (or not) mail, but the server may reject your sent mail.

Goto the providers site and look instructions on setting up different email apps.

It would have helped, if, you would have stated what O/S, email client, and provider you are asking about.

 

How to set default apps and can i use yahoo mail?

Can you find this in Settings? (Remember to try the Search box too if you're not sure about navigating Settings)

By default, Sendto (mail) is intended to launch an installed mail client such as Thunderbird etc. So what it launches should be the default program.

Exactly how are you accessing yahoo mail? Which program are you using?

If you are talking about a mail service, yahoo, that's completely different, unless there's a specific yahoo mail app, which it seems there is. In which case you'd have to install the app and then set it as your default mail app.

However if you access your mail via a browser, that's different. One thread below refers to yahoo via Chrome.
