聽聽聽You've got all kinds of problems, I'll offer a few possible solutions.





聽聽聽First, you can get pop access for Yahoo! Mail without paying for it, but only if you are an @yahoo.co.uk or @yahoo.co.au account holder. Unfortunately, you can not just change your account from plain old @yahoo.com to @yahoo.co.au You'd have to go to http://yahoo7.com to get into the Aussie servers or http://uk.yahoo.com/ to get into the UK servers then create a whole new account.





聽聽聽Even then it sounds like your attempt to e-mail something from your printer/scanner would still open Outlook As for your Outlook opening up, you may just need to set the default mail program on your computer to Yahoo! Mail, that would open your Yahoo! Mail whenever you clicked any e-mail link. In an Internet Explorer window go to the Toolbars at the top of the window and click "Tools" then "Internet Options" then the "Programs" tab. If you don't use IE then click the "Start" button at the lower left corner of your screen, then click "Control Panel" then "Internet Options" then the "Programs" tab. Select "Yahoo! Mail" from the pull down menu next to "E-mail" then click "Apply" and "OK"





聽聽聽If Yahoo! Mail is not a listed choice when trying to set up your default E-mail program in Internet Explorer you need to go to http://messenger.yahoo.com to download and install the full version of Messenger. This will also install a small file which will allow you to set Yahoo! Mail as your default e-mail program. After you've installed the full Messenger suite you will be able to do as instructed above.





聽聽聽Also, you may want to contact optus, it seems rather odd to me that a router will not let you e-mail through a particular mail server. A router's job is just to translate signal, not decide what services can be used and which can't. Perhaps optus can guide you through any settings which need to be altered. Good luck
Reply:I believe you do not need to change your email address but only your by going to My Account, enter password, edit Member Information, under General Preferences click the hypertext next to Preferred Content: (in my case it is Yahoo! U.S.) and change it to one that does support pop3 free (I think that Yahoo! Australia Yahoo! U.K. and Yahoo! India do.)
