E-mail links don't take me to Thunderbird

Hello
I set Thunderbird as my default email client. I have three accounts and they all work very well. However if I click on a link to the email address of someone in another application, it opens MS 'Mail' in point 8.1 of Windows. I tried to delete accounts in Windows but it tells me that the removal of my primary e-mail address account, will affect my loging in Windows?
So far I have copy and paste other email addresses in Thunderbird, but it's a bit a work around.

Can anyone help please? (Not a power user).

Sounds like a Windows problem, not Thunderbird.

This is a Windows help page.

  • Loading from an e-mail link Outlook Firefox takes 68 seconds. It was almost instantaneous. How can I fix?

    Firefox opening on its own is a bit slower than it used to be, but occurs in about 3-4 seconds. Opening of Outlook takes an exceptionally long time - 68 seconds at last count. I ran the process manager and that you have a file of long text I can provide if it would be useful - I don't know how to interpret it.

    1. What mail client do you use?

    2. what browser you use to access the e-mail?

    You can check if you are able to open the link by copying the link and paste it into the address bar of the browser or check if you get an error message.

    Check whether the url is activated as a Internet browser in Set associations or not.

    a. click Start , and then click default programs.
    b. now, click associate a file or Protocol with a program type and check if the url is enabled in the default Internet browser, if not, try enabling it.

    You can also set Internet Explorer as default and check.

  • question about the inability to meet the Windows Mail links

    I use Windows Vista, Microsoft 7.  A year ago I moved to a new location and subscribed to a new ISP.  I'm not changing my email provider preferred to Windows Live Hotmail and kept the same e-mail address.  However, I was never able to answer e-mail links, I get through links web page by e-mail, or in a specific instance of frustrating, their responses to a Yahoo Group that I belong to.  The e-mail program that opens isn't just Windows Mail, Hotmail.  When I click on the link provided I always get a message similar to the following: "task: send msg POP3 Local Area Network Failed." Details: Secure (SSL): no, Socket Error number 11001 error 0x800cc0D the host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please check that you have entered the server name correctly. Topic: test new downloaded OpenOffice org doc. POP3 ACCT: Server SMTP Protocol SMTP Port 25 ".  This has something to do with the fact that last February my hard drive has been damaged and I lost and do not re-install the Microsoft 2007 family and Student Edition and use Open Office.Org rather to my documents?  Is there a solution?

    Thank you.

    is there a solution to my original problem?

    It's hard to say. It depends on if this part of your description of symptoms is bad or just does not work properly:

    The e-mail program that opens isn't just Windows Mail, Hotmail.

    There is no support for what you do with a Hotmail account (unless just using Windows Live Hotmail as a mail client), so if you went on the forum WLSC that you have been referred to them could help you find a workaround.

    I don't know if WinMail still supports a connection to Hotmail very well. To do this, she will have to support the newer DeltaSync protoocol not the old WebDAV protocol. Outlook or WLMail would have better choices as default email for this client. Otherwise, you will need WinMail to connect to Hotmail as a POP3 account, and almost certainly not be able to do it using host names that you have tried. Yet once, find you better information and support for this on the WLSC. ; }

    Otherwise you can always check for addressability and connectivity using this SMTP host name and port number. It's unusual, but not necessarily incorrect according to the DNS of your ISP. You can use telnet in a cmd window to perform such a check:

    Telnet smtp 25

    and see if you get a prompt to enter a SMTP request. If you don't enter QUIT

  • E-mail link question

    Is it possible to get an email response box to appear on the same page as the mailto: link?  When I test an e-mail link it takes me to the landing page for Google, which is not useful for someone wanting to send an email to a link on a Web site.

    You cannot control this. This is why you are supposed to use the contact form, links not ordinary mail.

  • Problem with e-mail links

    Hi all -

    I use RoboHelp v7. I inherited my KB already set up, but have been keeping them for a couple of years now. However, we moved from Outlook to Google mail, and users will no longer be able to send emails from Robo. Note that I am able to send the email from another Web page using my corporate gmail account, having set up my mailto to use gmail.

    I have e-mail addresses in my Ko in two formats and tried a third party based on a post I read.

    1. A post to-I just created a link to an e-mail address, such as - "please contact AFKT reviewers by e-mail to Afkt PCM-PCMECCN. '
      with the link set as - mailto:[email protected]
    2. A script that was created by the original owner, that contains a single line - it has always worked before
      document.write ("< a href =------" mailto:[email protected]? subject = "+" change request for ' "+ document.title +"' MotoPDM FAT32\ help page "> MotoPDM help Admin < /a >");
    3. I read extracts of Peter #38 - Email this topic - and created a new excerpt based on what he had - this does not work either
      < p > < script type = "text/javascript" >
      var mailSubject = "useful information."
      var mailBody = ' this page might help: ' + location.href;
      var mailDisplay = "click here for a demo.';
      document. Write)
      ' < a href = "mailto: " [email protected] '
      + ' ? subject =' + escape (mailSubject)
      + "& body =' + escape (mailBody)"
      + ' "> ' + mailDisplay + '< /a >'"
      ) ; < /script > < / p >

    In the three examples above, when I click on an e-mail link, the KB Home page goes off and nothing happens.

    If I click on a link to normal Web page (such as http://www.swingandblues.com/about.html, Greg Avakian - "[email protected]", I generate an e-mail without problem. ' ")

    I'd appreciate any help, I have no idea where to go next.

    Thank you

  • Addition of Google Chrome, now Safari does not open, impossible to link electronic mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Add Google Chrome, now Safari opens Cannot link e-mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Third party extension and plug-ins?

    If Safari is slow, unresponsive, which closes unexpectedly, or has other issues

    The problem may be caused by a Safari Extension, Internet plug-in or another add-on.

    The safari Extensions, Internet plug-ins, and other modules are designed to improve or customize the browsing experience. Modules are widely available on the Internet, and some are installed as part of an application or other software. If you have Add-ons installed, an add-on might be at the root of the issue.

    If the problem is the unwanted pop-up windows, advertisements and graphics while surfing on the web, discover how to remove the ad-injection (adware) from your Mac software.

    Disable the Safari Extensions

    You can disable Extensions Safari to learn if all are causing the problem.

    1. In the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
    2. Click the Extensions icon, and then select an extension from the list.
    3. Uncheck the box enable disable this extension.

    If turning off an extension solves the problem, look for updates of the extension by clicking Update in the lower left corner of the window. Or remove the extension by clicking on the button uninstall.

    Remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons.

    You can remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons to see if everything is the origin of the problem. To find them, quit Safari and open these folders in library:

    • The library folder at the top level of your hard drive. Open it from the Finder by choosing go > go to folder in the menu bar. Then type /Library and then click OK.
    • The record library in your home folder. Open it by organizing the Option while choosing go > library in the menu bar.

    The folders in the library contains the following folders for modules. Move all the files in these folders to the trash.

    • Internet Plug-Ins
      Do not remove the default Browser.plugin, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Composer.webplugin of Quartz or QuickTime Plugin.plugin.
    • Input methods
    • InputManagers
    • ScriptingAdditions

    If the removal of the files in these folders solves the problem, quit Safari again and gradually put the files until you find the one at the origin of the problem:

    1. Open the Recycle Bin and select one of the files that you removed. Chose file > back up. The file back to its folder.
    2. Open Safari and see if the problem returns.
      • If the issue is returned, you have identified the add-on causing the problem. Do not use or contact its manufacturer for an updated version.
      • If the question does not return, quit Safari and put back another file.
  • How to configure firefox to open outlook e-mail links in a new tab instead of having this "crush" a tab currently open?

    How to configure firefox to open outlook e-mail links in a new tab instead of having this "crush" a tab currently open? For example, that I have a tab open and consult the information about this. An email comes in via outlook and I want to read a confined link. When I click on the link, it will open in the tab I have currently open. I would like to open it in a new tab.

    You mean Outlook, the standalone version and not the new iteration of Live (live.com) mail to Outlook.

    I think that the default is to open in a new tab in the last active window, but you can check it out here and replace the default value:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and change it to 3 and OK change

    The options are:

    -1 = apply the setting in Options > general > tabs of external links (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page
