how to get own name for Outlook Express

mbg · 06-26-2007, 08:13 AM

Am not sure if this is the right place to ask.... I don't usually use Outlook Express mail. Sometimes when I pull up a place that I need to e-mail, the Outlook Express comes up to srite my message. The message will have my Outlook Express name/e-mail address on it, correct? Because I use Yahoo, I don't even remember my 'name/ID' for Outlook. How can I find out my name/ID from Outlook? Is there a way aroung this when I send an e-mail to somebody, when the Oulook pops up? Thanks for your knowledge.

That means outlook is set as your default email client, so whenever you click on an email address, it will open. If you use Y! as your email client, you can set up a yahoo account on OL. That way you when you click on a link, it will open OL but you can send and receive emails through it via Y!. It also allows you to view emails offline.

Here is a link to some instructions on how to set it up. Its pretty simple.

If you like that, consider using mozilla's thunderbird or windows mail live.

Hope that helps
