Cannot set Outlook as the default e-mail application

I use a version of the MacBook Air and OS X El Capitan 10.11.3. I want to configure Outlook as my default mail application and mail-> Preferences I changed to Outlook, but when I close the application email, the default application change again in Mail. In addition, do not get this option to set a default in the preferences in Outlook.

Please help how to fix this problem.

Thank you.

Although the problem is not the same, please follow the instructions in this article to support to reset the launch Services database.

Instead type the command as shown in the article, I suggest that you copy and paste the web page in the Terminal window. Make sure you only select the whole line before copying. One way to do that is to triple - click anywhere in the line.

If you do not already have a current backup, back up all data before proceeding. You should perhaps log out or restart to see a change.

    Hi Lynda,

    1. who is your provider of mail service?
    2 are you using any client e-mail like outlook or Windows live mail?

    If you use any email client, then I suggest you to try the steps from the following link to set the program as the default e-mail client.

    Choose the apps Windows uses by default

    I hope this helps! Let us know if you have other problems with Windows in the future.

  • Cannot change the default e-mail program

    I tried to change the default email program in Vista to Thunderbird by following the instructions found on many sites (Control Panel, programs by default, set your default programs, and then I select Thunderbird, then I click on "set this program as default").

    However, when I try to send a document as an attachment directly from the application in question (Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, etc.), I get an error message that says: "no profiles have been created.  To create a new profile, use the Mail icon in Control Panel.  I believe that used to work at some point, although I did have this computer for a long time, so maybe it's that he has never worked on this computer.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    It is usually the case with an update of Office, it will reset Outlook as the e-mail Manager by default and assign it all by default available values.  You will need to return to "default programs |" Set your default programs and reset Thunderbird as default and there all available default values assigned.  It is usually a good idea to set Thunderbird as default under "default programs |" The value of program access computer settings by default and after finishing upward on the tab "Set your default programs" by Ramesh was mailed. Please do not forget that * every * Office Update, you receive will probably reset Outlook as Manager default e-mail, and you will need to repeat this process whenever they do.

  • Setup Eudora as the default e-mail program

    Hello

    Operating system: Win7

    I have always (for the right reasons) sue Eudora as my main e-mail client.  Whenever I installed a Windows Update, Windows set Outlook as my client, but it has been noticed by Eudora which, early on, was told that he was no longer the default client.  I could easily change that by starting Eudora as an administrator and then clicking on the option to make it my default e-mail client.

    BUT from the windows of the last updated, it no longer works and Eudora told me that it was impossible to change the registry (even when starting as an administrator).

    I tried to restore Eudora as the default e-mail program by going to wut Start\Default program that eudora does not appear here and I can't change the (set on Outlook) to Eudora MAPI option because this option is greyed out...

    How can I restore Eudora as my default mail (mainly for the mailto protocol) client?

    I found myself a solution that may be useful to other people faced with the same or similar problems.

    1 each (major) Windows Update and for reasons known only to Microsoft, registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command key has been changed and gives the order to outlook... (even if it was for Eudora before the update).

    2 Eudora could not change this key (and restore the command again to Eudora.exe) even when run as administrator because this key is protected...  (I noticed that I couldn't change the key manually).

    3. However, when I gave permission to administrators to modify this key and restarted the computer, Eudora (run as root) could change the key which now reads: C:\PROGRA~2\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe/m %1, which is what to do...

    So, problem solved, but why Microsoft protected this key during one if its last update remains a mystery.

    can u suggest me how to overcome this problem...


    Thank you
    David...

    Hi David,

    On your page, go to your page attributes and you will see that it is to set the focus on the first field when the page loads. You need to remove what you can have only a single onload function call. If you need to set the focus, your onload function is adjustable to do this.

  • Mac: How do I change the default printer by application

    Hello

    I use a HP OfficeJet 8600 and impossible to find a way to set the default print by application options. When I use my Windows machine he remembers the print by application settings (for example, if I print from Word, it prints the ordinary quality, if I select print in Photoshop, print quality Photo paper).  On the Mac (OS 10.8.5, Macbook Pro) I can't find any way to do it. If I put a print job in Word and the last used printer setting (from Photoshop) is Photo paper, then Word prints using this and uses a lot of ink and is incredibly slow.  Any help?

    Thank you...

    Hello again @winm!

    Thanks for the reply!

    I understand that when Windows printing software in memory settings for Word and Photoshop.  On the side of the things Mac, you will need to make the preset and choose it every time.  You may just be better to choose a quick project for Word and photo paper for Photoshop as you say.  The software in the Mac won't remember automatically.
