Okay heres my problem I switched email providers, now I can no longer send email by clicking reply on CL using outlook, and I can not figure out for the life of me how to change the email set up on outlook so it is tied into a valid email addy.
outlook help.

What's "CL"?
What e-mail provider did you switch to (e.g. g-mail, hotmail, yahoo, an ISP [if so, which ISP?])?
What browser and version of Outlook are you using?
In my experience, the e-mail providers that allow POP3 or other access through software like Outlook have instructions on how to configure Outlook and similar programs. If I understand your question correctly, you'll need to put your e-mail addy, username, password, and the incoming and outgoing mail servers into the fields under Tools> Email Accounts in Outlook.
I don't use Outlook at this point, but I am able to click on links and e-mail addys on websites and send email directly through Firefox. I use Gmail, which allows Firefox (or Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc.) to connect to its servers. When I used Hotmail, that was a "Premium" feature that required a yearly fee. All of my ISPs have had detailed instructions on configuring Outlook and similar programs (though I've never used those accounts for anything but junk mail).

You can find the instructions, including the server info you need here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-08.html
They're for Outlook Express, but the procedure is just about the same, IIRC, and the server and other info definitely IS the same.
I found that by googling 'yahoo and outlook' BTW.
And gmail beats yahoo any day of the week.

Yep, you're right, you have to purchase Yahoo Mail Plus for $19.99/year. I read they were going to change that and make POP free, but I guess they decided not to or haven't done so yet.swtcum said:
I'm not sure why anyone would switch to a yahoo or hotmail account when there are services like gmail that give all of the same stuff and more for FREE, though. I got rid of Hotmail when they started putting those crappy restrictions on my free account and deleting all of my email when I was on vacation.

It's unlikely unless you want to pay for Yahoo's premium service.oddity83 said:
I'd switch to gmail or another one that gives POP access and nearly unlimited storage, plus everything else for free now, if I were you. I'd be happy to send you an invite, as I'm sure others would, if you PM your email addy and want to take a look at what gmail has to offer.

email help
oddity
I assume your problem is that when click on an email link in CL your outlook isn't coming up. IF that is the case there is an easy fix.
go to Internet explorer
CLick tools
click Internet options
click the program tabs
I think the 2nd drop down box it says email. Mase sure whatever email problem you are using is selected there. LIke Outlook or outlook express.
Once you choose that.. your association should now be working.
