How can I set Yahoo mail as my default mail application on Mac Mail?

I am trying to make Yahoo Mail (free version, not Yahoo mail Plus!) my default mail application. This would allow me to cick on any link sending e-mails and it will launch the yahoo mail application to send mail from there, obviously. For this to happen I need to open Mac "Mail > Preferences >" and choose "Default email reader" under the "General". I then choose the email application of my choice (Yahoo in my case). "GMail Notifier" for Google fans.
I am not able to find a Yahoo application mail in my application folder or on the Internet, and frankly speaking, Yahoo mail support absolutely suck, and getting a hold of them is nearly impossible! There is a free applet out there called "Yahoomailer" that might do the job, but either I am installing it wrong since when I download and click on it nothing happens, or it does not work properly on my machine. So, I am turning to the community to get some help with this issue. All I need is to know if there is a Yahoo mail app out there that can be installed on MAC and shows up on my Mail > Preferences > Default email reader.
Thank you,
I am using MAC OS X 10.8.2

My tools menu does not show "options" as a choice - any idea why? Thanks

  • I always want google classic, but sometimes i get google beta or google security (or whatever, can't remember its name) when i don't want it. why does this happen and how can i set google classic as the default?

    google is my default on the home page. But when i ask for google or simply open firefox, i sometimes get google beta or google security (or whatever its name is) instead of google classic. I just want google classic. How can i set it as my default. (I have a desk top computer, use firefox, and this never happens.)

    Why Apple can't undo its mistake?
    Whose mistake? The source of the problem:
    I was required to enter my recovery key. Now, there begins that huge flaw. I've forgotten it (I know it was my responsibility to remember it).
    If you had just taken the simple steps of storing your recovery key as Apple tells you to when you set it up, none of this would've happened.
    As it clearly states in the FAQ on 2-step verification: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    After you turn it on, there will be no way for anyone to access and manage your account at My Apple ID other than by using your password, verification codes sent your trusted devices, or your Recovery Key. You must be responsible for:
    Remembering your password.
    Keeping your trusted devices physically secure.
    Keeping your Recovery Key in a safe place.
    If you lose access to two of these three items at the same time, you could be locked out of your Apple ID account permanently.
    In addition, with two-step verification turned on, only you can reset your password, manage your trusted devices, or create a new recovery key.
    Apple Support can help you with other aspects of your service, but they will not be able to update or recover these three things on your behalf.
    If you aren't responsible enough to do that, you should not have turned the optional security feature on.
    This is your fault, not Apple's.

  • How can I set the date today as default value in a parameter?

    Hi,
    I have in my report a date parameter and I want to set as default value the date today.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks in advance

    If you are using a datatemplate , you can have a beforereport trigger that will have a package call.
    In the package spec, define a date variable and also define the function beforereporttrigger that retruns boolean.
    In the body, define the beforereporttrigger function with
    begin
    select sysdate into specvariable from dual
    return(true);
    end;
    You can then use the variable in the datatemplate as :variable.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i set a breakpoint on a default constructor

    I'd like to catch all instances where a specific class is constructed but only the default constructor exists and it is implicitly defined.  How can I break in the default constructor?  
    thanks,

    There is no code where you want a breakpoint, so I'm not sure what instruction you'd like the debugger to break your program at.  ???
    Since your goal is only to "catch" all instances where a specific class is constructed I think the only thing is to modify your code to do so.  I can't think of an approach that doesn't require a code modification and recompile.  Especially
    since it's not clear where such classes were inlined in already compiled code.  And because of that alone, I'm
    fairly certain you have to instrument your code (modify your code by inserting something special) to catch it.  
    So can you modify the class you want to catch?  Just add a default constructor and set your breakpoint in there.
    Alternatively if you really want to try to do what you are doing, you can step into any code that creates an instance of your class in disassembly and set a breakpoint in the disassembled code for the constructor (assuming you can locate it, and it even
    exists), then rerun your program.

  • How can i set the html5 player by default in ubuntu instead of the flash player ? i just can use the flash player as default

    Well i use lubuntu 14.04 and i've realized that the html5 player on youtube works so much better than the flash player, but i can't use it by default, for play videos i have to request the html5 player, and the problem is when i restart the browser or when i turn off my computer, big is my surprise because youtube is using the flash player. If i disable the flash plugin is ok because youtube doesn't have another option but to use html5, but this is not the solution, because there is still some videos that use flash, and other web sites too. so: how can i fix this or i just have to wait that mozilla gives html5 support for linux, because on windows the default player is the html5. i'd really appreciate any help, thanks

    I usually use Ubuntu, and am not aware of HTML5 being the default for Flash videos on Windows.
    Is it more likely you have chosen an option on the YouTube website to use HTML5. I think this page offers support and includes an option to toggle HTML5 or FlashPlayer.

    That is how Time Machine works.
    It is not going to keep files you delete from your computer forever.
    But you haven't stated how they are stored on the TC.
    If you copy files to the TC they can be stored long term.. or use another type of backup software.
    See Q3 here about storing data and TM on the TC.

  • Version 3.6.13 - How can I set Google up as a default search engine?

    Google does not appear in my default search engines. I cannot figure out how to add it. Amazon.com, among others, appears as a default. What is going on and why can I not add Google.

    You can also try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    If that doesn't work then you can try to reinstall the current Firefox version on top of your current installation or install the missing search engines from the mycroft site (http://mycroft.mozdev.org/)

  • How can I set Paul to be the default TTS voice?

    Is there a way to set a TTS voice as the default so that it is always selected by default as the voice to use? I have all the voices installed and it currently defaults to Bridget - I guess because that is the first voice in the list. I normally use Paul but sometimes others so I want access to all the voices but would like the default to be Paul. I know that once I set Paul for the first slides, it defaults for that project for the rest of the slides, but I have to do this for every project and if I forget to set Paul then I have to go back and redo the slides. It would be nice if I could set the default to the voice I use the most often. I'm using Captivate 7.

    j,
    In the Finder, single-click on any text file, then type command-I (Get Info). You'll see an Open With... menu item. Select Pages from the list (if it's not in the list, navigate to it). Finally, click the Change All button. Use the same process for .doc files. Now, if you double-click on any of these files, it should open in Pages.

  • How can I set a version number for an AppleScript application?

    Subject kind of says it all... I've written a small application in AppleScript, which is used on several computers. I'd like the application to have a version number, just like normal applications have. How do I give it one?
    To be clear, what I mean is: in column view, if you click once on an application, it shows the icon, name, size, version, etc. of the application. I want a version number to show up there (and in the Get Info window, etc.)

    Posting to this old post, but I am trying above method on my 10.8.2 machine and it doesn't seem to work.
    I added the bundle version string as in the attached image.
    Recompile my app, saved it but still version info doesn't show up in finder.
    Also, tried to change "Bundle version" to "CFBundle version". But still didn't work.
    Any suggestions?

  • How can I set a permanent default language for Firefox's spellcheck feature, so that I don't have to keep manually selecting the spellcheck language I want?

    I have a few languages installed, and Firefox's spellcheck seems to decide which language to use ''at random''. So I have to keep manually selecting the language I want. 99% of the time I want English. So how can I set English as a permanent default language, and leave the manual selection for those infrequent occasions when I want another language spellchecked?

    Firefox should store the last used dictionary in the spellchecker.dictionary pref that you can check on the about:config page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • How can I set up hotmail in the mail application

    Hi
    How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
    Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

  • How can I set up various mailboxes in Mail on my iPad.

    How can I set up various mailboxes in Mail on my iPad.
    I am using a Pop account and don't want to change this setup.
    I use two devices to access the same email account but I am not experiencing any lockout issues.
    Mail is simply not giving me any options to create mailboxes and there must be a way of doing this.  If I can do it in my iMac, surely I can do the same thing on my iPad.

    -Tap "Settings" app,
    -Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" option on the left hand side,
    -On the right, under "Accounts" on top, tap "Add Account...",
    -Select one of the email service providers or "Other",
    -Under "Mail", tap "Add Mail Account",
    -A window pops up and enter your new email account details.
    -Repeat for new email accounts.
