How to change the default email to yahoo

The Apple mail app keeps open when I hit various links and I am trying to get yahoo as my default email. I've checked the preferences for Snow Leopard, Chrome (my browser) and the Mail App program, itself. Mail gives me the option of selecting another physical program, but I want to use a web-based email as my default. How is this done? Thanks

When a web browser opens a 'mailto' link, it starts whatever the default mail application is (the same behavior is consistent with all web browsers and operating systems; the HTML specification specifies this behavior). If you want to use a browser-based e-mail service, like Yahoo!, you cannot setup your browser as the default e-mail client (because, it's a browser and not an e-mail client; think of the e-mail client being on another machine that's operated by Yahoo!). This is the same on OS X, Windows, and Linux.
What you can do, however, is to setup Apple's Mail to use Yahoo! Mail: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html
Note that Yahoo now charges for this service (Yahoo! Mail Plus, $19.00/year). Google offers the same service for free.

    Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't set the default email address when you email a PDF.
    It's found in the Settings app:

    dear, there.

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • How to change the default mail server??? Please help.

    I need to change the default mail server to my yahoo account. When I had my PC this was easy but I cannot figgure it out on the MAC. I am in China and I need to inform my insurance company of some information or they are going to cancel a policy. When I go to their site for email contact what pops up is the apple email, which I do not have an account for and ofcourse does not work. Their email address does not show and I cannot find it anywhere so I need to change the default to my yahoo account. On my PC this was easy and when I went to a site that had a contact but no email address, my yahoo account would come up. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I really need to do this fast as the letter I got took some time to get here and I just returned from some field work so I have about 2 or 3 days to get the information to them. Thank you.

    John,
    This does not demonstrate anything for me, since it brings up a Compose window for Mail, with my preferred account as the From address. This happens whether I access with Safari, or with Firefox.
    The point that I am trying to make, is that in OSX, there is no way to have web mail access become the default mail method -- it only works with a true mail client, for POP, IMAP or .mac access on your Desktop.
    If you have the type of yahoo account that can be setup for POP access with Mail, then when you click, you can choose your yahoo address as the From address to send from.
    Of course you can insert the address in a new message with your Yahoo web mail, but I have understood you to want to have the message start containing the info from one of the pages on the site?
    See the discussion at the following link, for setting up a Yahoo account in Mail:

  • How to change the default view of published iCal's URL

    I am publishing an iCal for a nonprofit group and link to the calendar from the group's website. The default URL given (in the send publish email option) leads to the week view of the current week. I would prefer the link to take site visitors to the month view of the calendar. If I go to the month view and copy the URL for it, and use that for the link, I have to change the URL each month, because the URL that comes from the month view will only show the month it was at the time I copied the URL -- it will not change with the new month. Does anyone have any idea of how I can change the URL so that it leads to the month view of whatever the current month is?
    I should note that I know how to change the default view in the my browser, but I would rather not have to explain how to do this to all the people viewing the calendar -- just wanting the correct month view to show up when they click the link, without having to change it each month.
    I would be so grateful if anyone has some insight on this!
    Thanks.

    Carlo,
    The fact that this question has been left unanswered for over 2 months seems a little negligent on the part of Apple Support.
    This Forum is unfortunately not Apple Support. According to Apple:
    What is Apple Discussions and how can it help me? 
"Apple Discussions is a user-to-user support forum where experts and other Apple product users get together to discuss Apple products. You'll find a wealth of information about your favorite Apple hardware and software products that will help you get the most out of your purchase. You can participate in discussions about various products and topics, find solutions to help you resolve issues, ask questions, get tips and advice, and more.
    If you have a technical question about an Apple product, be sure to check out Apple's support resources first by consulting the application Help menu on your computer and visiting our Support site to view articles and more on our product support pages."
    In direct response to your questions, I would say that (as observed by the OP) anyone who subscribes to a published calendar can make a change to their desired view using the "Preferences" icon which is displayed underneath the mini-month calendars.
    There is no way that I know of to directly or conveniently change the time-range. There may be workarounds, but I could not find a suitable solution for you.
    I would recommend that you provide iCal Feedback, if you are interested in informing Apple of your desires.

  • How to change the default Path of Prompt Played by MicroApp

    Hi
    I need to store all the Self Service application prompts in dedicated Media Server. I can modify location of all the Media files by passing the related URL form CVP application, however I need to know how to change the default location of Prompt file played by Play Media Microapplication in ICM Scripting.
    Currently the default location taken by Play Media Micro App is the Media _Server.variable path set for VXML Server location while I have a separate Media Server.
    Please advice how we can customize the MicroApp Media path.
    regards
    Kapil Kumar

    Hi Kapil,
    Try this in your ICM script, define set variables i.e.
    set Media Server= ip address of media server
    set Locale = en-us
    set input Type = DTMF only
    set App Media Lib = " you new location i.e. test "
    So, the application path will be
    http://media server ip address/en-us/test
    hope this helps.
    Cheers

    Normally this is achieved via the "ip ssh port rotary " but unfortunately, this command is not implemented on your platform so ssh will only work on port 22.

  • How to change the default currency in CJ32 and CJ33

    Dear all,
    As required by the user, I want to know how to change the default currency from controlling area currency to object currency in TCODE CJ32 and CJ33. Currently, the controlling area currency will be defaulted in the field "Views in".
    Could any one help me? Points will be awarded.
    Thank you.
    Christina.
    Edited by: Virendra Pal on May 5, 2010 8:34 AM

    Hi Christiana ,
    Once you are in tcode CJ30 / CJ32 , Enter either Project definition or WBS element and this shall take you to the Budget screen and once you are here you can find a drop down with two options .One is Controlling are currency and the other one is Object currency.
    Since the Currency is set to Object currency in OPS9, System shall allow the budget values in Object currency and if the user wants to see the same values in Controlling are currency ,then the user needs to view the values in Controlling are currency using the drop down .
    Regards

  • How to change the default "Safe" files in Safari?

    I would really appreciate if anybody could teach me how to change the default "Safe" files using AppleScripts, Folder Actions or .plist files. I really would like to have some files to open automatically after download, specially .pps files, and safari doesn't recognize such files as "safe". I tried to find out reading the help files but got lost.
    I posted a reply in an old topic for somebody who seemed to know, but it was not related to that topic, so I decided to open a new one.
    I'll be gratefull for any help. Thanks.
