default e-mail

Can the default e-mail be changed from Outlook to some other e-mail service such as Yahoo when e-mailing picyures?

No.

Unfortunately the email option uses a special protocol (MAPI) that only email clients, unless the browser is set to accept it, can use.

You can install a different email client other than Outlook, honestly I just use Thunderbird and attach my yahoo and hotmail accounts to it. In a lot of ways it's quicker for me.

Thank you.

I'm not sure how I would map Yahoo mail to Thunderbird.
Would I really have an email of "myname@thunderbird.com"?

No. Thunderbird is a client, not an email service. In other words it doesn't give you an email address, it simply downloads your email from your email account. Your email address will be the same, you just won't have to open your browser to read and write email.

However, I misspoke and I apologize for that. Yahoo is kind of the annoying sister of other email services. You can't access Yahoo Mail from an outside client unless you purchase a subscription to Yahoo Mail Plus. ($20/year) There is a second program, called YPOP, that acts like a browser in the background that will allow Thunderbird to access a regular Yahoo Mail account. But if yahoo catches you they might terminate the account because it's slightly against their terms of service. So it's not a good idea to do that at all. Your best option just save out the images and upload them as attachments to Yahoo.

Well, maybe it can be a change in default email. By using some software like the thunderbird client, however you can search in online by using the google. There are lot of info the we can use as reference in our problem like changing the default email.
