Computer email question

[shbeachbum]

I had DSL with MSN Premium. Now I have Comcast Triple play since June & no problems except the following: When a web site has a "mail to" link, all I had to do was click on that link and I was able to send that site an email. Since I dropped MSN for Comcast, I deleted all MSN program files from my pc. Now when I click on a "mail to" link I get nothing and not able to send a email. Is there anything I can do to get that capability back using Comcast as my email service?

 

Thanks

Mike

You are going to have to change you're default E-mail setting. But you should have kept the MSN E-mail. I have had my MSN E-mail address since 2003 but have had several different ISP's.

Rooster---I would have but when I cancelled Verizon DSL, my MSN was automatically cancelled by them. When I tried to do a "mailto", the MSN screen came up and said not a subscriber. How can I change the default setting? I have Windows XP

Set your comcast mail up to use Outlook or Outlook Express. Then it will know the POP account to use and have the SMTP info it needs to log into and send the e-mail.

 

It's easy to do and the instructions can be found on the Comcast website

This is what I do. Works well.

There you go. I didn't remember how but i know I've had the options before.

I still use MSN myself.
