Hey, my question is pretty simple. How do i set my default mail server to be yahoo. For example, i would like to be able to see an email address on a webpage, click it, and have my yahoo account come up instead of outlook express.

You cannot set a default server, only a default E-mail clients. Servers are are configured with E-mail clients like outlook.
You should be able to configure Outlook to use Yahoo of providing Yahoo provide a POP3 and SMPT server address but you probably have to pay for that.
