Windows 10: Yahoo Mail

I use Yahoo Mail and I really like it. I had some issues, and re-installed Windows 10.
During the start up . . . It asks you what browser, you want to run it with. All the
browser were listed, along with basic mail. So, I thought, what the heck, so I picked
basic mail. Boy, was I mistaken! It looks terrible.


I thought, maybe if I uninstall my Yahoo Mail, I could start all over. But it's not even
listed in the Control Panel, uninstall. If I type into the search box, mail.yahoo.com,
it looks perfect . . . Or, if I say to Cortana "Yahoo Mail" It opens with the normal look.
But, if I click on the shortcut, I get that basic mail. So my question is . . .
How, can I fix this? And get a new program association.

Thanks for reading, hope you have answers . . . Jerry

yahoo messaging setup

Hi Kieth,

Regarding the issue that you had with making email replies on your Yahoo, have you tried performing a uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

We suggest that you follow these steps:

• Uninstall the Yahoo Mail app.
• Perform a soft reset by Pressing the Power and Volume down button simultaneously for 15 seconds.
• Once the phone vibrates, release your hold and wait for the phone to finish rebooting.
• Reinstall Yahoo Mail from the store.

Let us know if the issue persists after following the steps above.

Using MS Edge as browser and MS Mail as email.

• How do I set ATT.net as homepage and Att.net/Yahoo as mail?

Thank you
