If you use Internet Explorer, then click on:

Tools->Internet Options and then click on the Programs tab.

Go to the email section and change the program.

Downside, I tried this (realised I would rather have gmail as my default for replying to sites), but I am only offered Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express, AOL 8 (dunno where that comes from), MSN Explorer and Windows Live Mail.

There is no option to type within the box.

Can you advise please?

It seems to relate to which mail services you have installed plus the odd web mail (hotmail) - my list includes hotmail (which I use) and Eudora - which is my default mail - I do have AOL 7 - but I got that for free with my computer so it is installed. I have on occasion used yahoo mail - but that is not  in my list.

If you google a query, you will find with both yahoo mail and gmail you have to download a program that makes the appropriate program your default email.

This was a Mozilla query - but scroll to the end - it also is said to work for IE

The whole concept of Google Mail is that it is web based, which means that the actual program resides on web servers as opposed to Outlook which resides on a client (your PC) hence the reason why it is not on the drop downlist.  The same applies to Yahoo mail.
