You don't need to make Yahoo! your default email in order to use Outlook, but here is how to make Yahoo! Mail the default email on your computer. Your question is confusing, but I hope this is what you are looking for.
To make Yahoo! Mail the default email application for your computer, click Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > under E-mail click the down arrow and select Yahoo! Mail > click Apply. If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as a default email option follow the directions below and it will solve your problem.
Using Internet Explorer just click "Continue" on the link below to download a small 60K file that will enable Yahoo! Mail to be the default email application for your computer. Whenever you click on an email address on any web page or in any computer program, Yahoo! Mail will open for you in a new window.
If Internet Explorer displays a yellow security bar at the top, click on it and select Install ActiveX Control from the menu.
If a security warning comes up with Yahoo! Inc. as the publisher, click Install.
Now you can click on an email address anywhere and your computer will automatically open up Yahoo! Mail for you.
You can even send documents directly from Word, Excel, or other Windows applications.
Requirements:
Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP / Vista
Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher

The basic Yahoo Mail is web-based, and can't be polled by a mail client such as Outlook
There is, however, a premium (you pay $20 a year for it) service (Yahoo Mail Plus), which can be accessed by a POP3 client like Outlook. Once you sign up, you'll be given the server ID's, and a username/password combination to access them

Your question is confusing but if you mean how to configure your outlook to view yahoo mail, this is no longer available in the free account. You must pay now for this feature.

You can use both, but at different times. Login to one, view mail, then go to other and login and view. You can't use one to view the other. Hoped this helped.
