Is there a way to make Google Mail start-up rather than Microsoft outlook to send my e-mail letters?

Hello Yahoo Ask users,
When I click on a Craigslist e-mail address, Microsoft Outlook opens up and I can compose my e-mail. Rather than Microsoft outlook, can I use Google Mail instead? If so, how can I configure Google Mail to open up and be ready to compose a e-mail when I click on a e-mail link?
Thank you.

You have to configure your Google Mail account in Microsoft Outlook, so that when Microsoft Outlook opens it is actually using your Google Mail. In Outlook, go to Tools > Email Accounts > Add a new Email Account > POP3 > enter the following information in the set up wizard:
# Google GMail Settings
The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections.
Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) – pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Outgoing Mail Server – use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)
