    I have Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 installed on my computer. On an internet page when I click Tools/Internet Options/Programs and click on the drop-down menu on Programs I get three options -- Eudora, Outlook Express and Windows Live Hotmail. What can I do to get my favorite e-mail server in that slot? Thank you very much. abm

    To Pete C: I use mail.com, a web based e-mail program. But keep in mind if Hotmail is in there then web base mail shoudl be allowed. Thank you. abm

    AFAIK you will not get web based email showing there as it is accessed via IE and not via an installed email client.

    To follow up from Pete's post...

    Email clients (eg Eudora, Pegasus etc) collect mail as a POP3 clients. Those programs can be added to the "Tools->Programs->E-mail" field. You are asking for a webmail site...

    Bookmarks are your friend :)
