Hi!

I have Windows XP and one of the technicians from AT&T installed Outlook Express and now all my Yahoo email goes to Outlook Express. How do I delete the Outlook Express application from my system without losing my Inbox Yahoo email? This is very important to me. The technician did not know how to delete this application.

Thank you,

Carol Sanders

The easiest way to disable Yahoo mails from downloading to your outlook express is to go to Tools-> Accounts-> Mail-> Yahoo Mail-> Properties-> Remove the check mark from "Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing. This way, you will still have mails from Yahoo that have already been downloaded in your outlook express, but further downloads will be prevented.

Another alternative is to go to Tools-> Accounts-> Mail-> Yahoo Mail-> Properties-> and click "Leave a copy of messages on server"

Hope this helps.

Hi!

When I click on Tools, there is no Accounts>Mail>Yahoo Mail> Properties listed. So now what should I do?

Thank you,
