Clicking on a mailto: link using the wrong account to send an e-mail. Is it possible to designate a default account?

I have several accounts that I use in thunderbird. Everything works fine and I have no problem at all. But when I am on the web and click on a "mailto:" link on a Web site, Thunderbird always opens the new e-mail window using the first account in the "stack". I never use this account to send mail... I want to use another account but cannot figure out how twell TB that is.

At the top e-mail account is the default e-mail account.

Tools > accounts settings
or
Right-click on the name of the e-mail account, and then select "settings".

Select the desired default mail account name.
Click on "Account Actions" to get the drop down options
Click on "Set as default"
Click OK to save the changes.

    I have an apple, 2 gmail accounts account and 2 pop email accounts I have a rule that I've used for years and puts the mail in one folder called 'Other' when the mail comes to some that isn't in my contact list.

    I just noticed that since the update 10.11, a few weeks ago, when I answer any email in "Another folder", it automatically replaces the e-mail account, it is recommended to use (To: account) with my apple in the field account?  How can I fix it?

  • Setting IE/Live Hotmail as default mail client, so it responds to a click on a mailto link: link and not Outlook Express

    It is actually in two parts/problems; Maybe (probably) closely related.
    ... And it's weird because it used to work (weird especially when it comes to problem no. 1 b).

    Problem # 1
    When I click on an e-mail address embedded (a mailto link :) in some (.doc .rtf, .html, etc.) I opened, I want to have the system open IE, connect me to my Windows Live Hotmail (http://mail.live.com/...) account and open the new page/screen e-mail message.) He used to do this. I have somehow messed up things upwards; How I know not (duh). Instead, it will now fire a new Message Outlook Express 6.0 dialog box.

    (1) I'm under Win XP Pro SP3 with all the critical updates installed.

    (2) I have a hotmail.com account and the system has my saved credentials.

    (3) I have Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail is installed.

    (4) I have Windows Live Messenger is set up (under the menu item Tools/Options/Connection tab) with:
    a. "automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I connect Windows' checked
    b. "'Main window open Windows Live Messenger to Windows Live Messenger startup' UNchecked '.
    c. "automatically open a session when connected to the Internet" checked

    (5) I have Windows Live Mail set up (the tab Tools/Options/connections point menu - sign in to Windows Live services section) to "Stop signing In" - i.e. the "Sign In" button is enabled and the 'Stop Signing In' button is disabled (because it is already selected)

    This configuration (4 & 5) is so when I right click on the Windows Live Messenger icon in the system Notification bar and select 'Mail box' in the menu contextual, Messenger opens IE to my Hotmail Live (http://mail.live.com/...) account, sign me and puts me in my Inbox as opposed to the opening of the Live Mail client. No problem, it's what I want. The only time where I use the client Live Mail is when I have to compose an e-mail with pictures incorporated into the body of the message (which is rare), and then I manually start it (Live Mail). This can be done using IE/Live Hotmail; I can only attach photos there, not incorporated the. That's how my system was config support when you click on a mailto link: link would open up IE/Live Hotmail and not Outlook Express.

    In addition,
       
    (6) I have:
    a. under the radio button "Use my current e-mail program" Set Program Access and Defaults/Custom is selected and have the box "enable access to this program" UNchecked for Outlook Express (I also tried uncheck the 'enable...) "for Windows Live Mail - no change.

    I then tried...
    (b) in "Add/Remove Windows components" untick the Outlook Express check box. I then let XP run installation and rebooted.

    The reason why I did 6 b is to see what tracks if Outlook Express is not installed.
    Now, where is start to get weird and brings me to...

    Problem no. 1 b
    Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6.0) be uninstall under XP Pro/SP3 and if so, how?

    After step 6 b restarts, I open a file with a link to e-mail built in, clicked on it and now it opens nevertheless OE6.0
    So I open Win Explorer and of course the folder as c:\programs\outlook Express is still there and complete with all files .dll, .exe, etc..
    Now I'm really scratching my head! I know I said XP installation does not install Outlook Express.

    So now I decide to play with fire...
    I open the upward Task Manager to see which runs when the new Message of OE6.0 dialog box is in place (this is msimn.exe)
    So just to smile and laugh, I msimn.exe and rename it to Xmsimn.exe, go back in the file with the link, click on it and what's going on, you guessed it, OE6.0 is running! I switch back to Win Explorer, and the renamed file is still there, but now IS msimn.exe BAAAACK!
     
    Now, here's where it comes down right spoooooky. I created a new folder in C:\Programs\Outlook Express, all of the files selected in the C:\Programs\Outlook Express and drop them in the new folder. And then looking at the contents of the Outlook Express folder in the right pane (which is now empty other than the new folder), one by one, all the files OE re - APPEAR in the OE folder.
    WHAT IS PAST WITH IT!

    All the files that I moved to the new folder are still there, including the renowned Xmsimn.exe.
    It is as if the system will not let you remove the OE components and withdrew them a .cab file, somewhere, even if I said do not install Outlook Express!

    Now, this problem is really secondary to # 1 has. I don't really need the answer, he just freaks me the system is something like this and I would like to know how and why of it. I use any OE 6.0, it's just take disk space.
    (I even uninstalled my installation of MS Office Outlook)

    And I don't like how # 1a is resolved. I am quite able to pull the top of RegEdt32 or what is needed to fix it (after backup the registry and/or a restore point first, of course.)

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Well, I found the answer to problem # 1 to myself.
    Somehow the IE Tools/Internet Options/programs Internet/tab setting programs section e-mail field has NOT been defined. It was empty.
    I put it to "Windows Live Hotmail" and BINGO! Click on an embedded mailto: link and pops up a new IE window connected to my Hotmail account, open electronic 'Composer the Message' page with the To: field with the link I clicked on.

    Now if only one of you gurus out there can answer problem # 1 b (can Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6.0) be uninstall under XP Pro/SP3 and if so, how? -see my OP) I'll be in sleep with nightmares of moved files reappear magically in an empty folder!

    Hi James -.

    This is the default behavior of browsers when you handle the mailto link.

    Please keep in mind almost half of Web site visitors do not have an email client because they use mobile devices or computers in public or web-based email like Gmail, messaging, MSN etc.

    Please do not feed the spammers robots. Recommended is to use a HTML element 'form' in conjunction with a script of processing forms aside server. Ask your webhost if they provide one for you.

    This isn't something you can do with Adobe Reader. To edit a PDF file, including adding a link, you must use Acrobat. We invite you to try Acrobat DC for 30 days; You can download a trial of this page: Download Adobe Acrobat free trial version | Acrobat Pro DC.

  • Cannot access the internet using the account invited in Vista. Unable to access using the administrator account.

    This one is strange - and I repeat that the problem is that I can't access the internet by using the administrator account.  The guest account works fine.  All programs are there and launch the fine (IE, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc.), but they cling right there when I try to log on or access to any Web site.

    While in the administrator account, I ran "CMD" in the run menu and can ping Yahoo, Google, etc. with success.  It's embarrassing - any ideas how the administrator account can act that way then the guest account works perfectly?

    Hello Allen LaBrune,.

    If you are able to ping the websites from the command prompt, it means that your computer connectivity is fine.

    Hi w3ur_team,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that there are two features that are documented in the sync account. However the Android is not synchronized.

    There are two places we can check:

    1. In the Android settings, under accounts is the Firefox Sync or Firefox Sync (discouraged) joint account?
    2. Credentials work on accounts.firefox.com on the mobile device and are there any error messages in the synchronization of the settings menu > sync?

  • When you use the camera of the iPhone APP to send an e-mail, there is no saved project and I lose the message.  Is this normal?

    When I use the camera of the iPhone APP to send a photo by e-mail, I find that I lose the message when I change to another application.  Basically, no project is not registered anywhere.  Am I missing something simple?  Ex: Open Camera APP, select the image for the email, and then try to open the calendar, and then return to the message to add more content... where he?

    I had never tried your method before, but after testing three times, I got the same results as you did. However, if I manually saved the project (press Cancel, then save the draft) in the camera application, it was recorded in the messaging application, when I went there. If I use the photos app to send the photo to go, I can start the email, launch another application, return to the Photos app and the email is always on the screen.

    IF you want to send a picture with an email, do not use the camera application. There is no need to do so. You can use the messaging application or the photos app in order to attach a photo. You have access to all your photos in an application.
