Cannot set the default email in apple mail client

Hi all

I have a rather unusual problem. I'm on El captain, and I have 16 Mac Office installed (Outlook).

When I go in my OS X mail client, and go to Preferences-> general-> default mail reader, it shows currently Outlook.

When I go ahead and select Mail and then close the window and then return the preferences window, it switches back to Outlook.

I can't set mail as my default mail client, which also live up to my sheet on part of Safari options (shows Outlook, no email).

Is there another way in the system to set my default mail client, which will remain?

I went the Outlook preferences, and there is no option to be found to set or no set Outlook as the default e-mail client. Strange.

Any help would be appreciated!

You can also set this option in Outlook preferences. Try here. I don't have the app to check where, but I think it is located on the general tab.

  • Cannot set the default mail Client

    All,

    I have Office for Mac 2016 installed on my Mac Mini. When I go in the Mail from Mac client to set the default value for Outlook he selects fine, but then when I exit the application and go back inside, he returned back to Mac Mail?

    Assistance to get this resolved would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm under El Capitan 10.11.2 - the latest updates everything up ;-)

    Although the problem is not the same, please follow the instructions in this article to support to reset the launch Services database. Instead of typing the shell command in the article, I suggest that you copy and paste the web page in the Terminal window. Make sure you only select the entire line. One way to do that is 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 @darshan9 ,

    I see that you have problems affecting the default printer for users and you cannot print over the network.
    I'd love to help you.

    Do you mean the configuration of individual computers with the printer on the network users, or a computer with multiple users?

    You have administrative rights on the computer to make changes?

    What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

    Download and run the Print and Scan doctor. It will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically. http://www.hp.com/go/tools > using HP diagnostic tools for printers under Windows HP.

    I suggest you to check if you have another account user or an administrative account.

    I also suggest to create a new user account and check if you are able to set the default printer.

    Create a user account. Create a user account.

    If you're still having problems, run the Fixit tool. Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium error 0 x 00000709 cannot set the default printer

    I bought my new HP Officejet 6700 Premium on February 1, 2013. I use a HP Pavilion dm4 laptop under Windows 7 Home Premium. The installation seems to give no problem. However I'm unable to set the default printer and have the error message 0 x 00000709. Excel, Adobe, Outlook does not allow me to print.

    I spoke to the HP printer Department February 1st and they sent me some software of diagnosis which I sent back. I called again on 6 February and was told my problem was always open and they were trying to reproduce the problem (it appears on the net without a patch work). It is now February 10, and I hope the good people of HP to recall with a solution soon. You try to run a small business with no printer is not ideal.

    Someone at - it else ecountered this problem, and you have a solution.

    I ran HP utility, installed uninstalled the driver etc etc etc.

    I seem to have fixed the problem by changing in the registry keys. If HP wants a donation to charity, I would be happy to provide it to them :-)

    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.

  • Cannot set the default printer.

    I'm having a problem with one of the users on my setup of server companies. She is unable to set a default printer and cannot print from Excel 2010 to all. However, while on the terminal even when I login as administrator, everything works perfectly. I tried to set a default value manually through the registry, I tried all of the scripts that I can find, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printers. I don't know where to go from here. Any advice?

    It's a 2003 server.
    The terminal is running XP.
    Printers are all non-local network.
    However, the result is the same for a local printer.

  • Cannot set the default printer. error 0 X 00000709

    Hi all

    Cannot set any printer as the default printer. An error message appears, error 0 X 00000709. I have tried to use a guide on the Forums, on the Windows system registry, still does not work. And I couldn't print anything using the PDF, but Words of Microsoft Excel and Notepad are able to print. In addition "format the hard drive, create a user and Fix a user profile is corrupted", is there a solution? Help will be very appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Aaron,

    I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

    What is the brand and model of the printer?

    This problem can occur if the wires that are not connected correctly, due to corruption drivers, drivers incompatible, if print spooler service is not started, because of problems with the printer and the printer, missing updates settings.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to run the fixit and check if it helps.

    Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/

     

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check.

    Disable the antivirus software.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

     

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

  • Cannot set the default printer to landscape mode

    I have Windows 7. I want to set the printer, so it displays default landscape of Notepad. I've tried three different printers and nothing. I go to the windows printer properties and set them in landscape mode.  There are two places to change, a Preferences tab and a default Advanced tab and I did both. When I print from Notepad they always print portrait. In Notepad, I can make them print landscape, but I have to change it every time. So, I want the default to be the landscape. How to make default in mode landscape.

    Lee

    My client found their solution. You had to install an older version of the drivers and then the printer would stay in landscape mode.
