  Whenever I want to send an email to someone and click on the word "e-mail" to get the address of e-mail, I get the message on the screen informing me that the operation cannot be performed because the "default mail client' is not properly installed.

  In the simplest and most straight forward instructions how to properly install the "default e-mail client"?

  I use IE10 and windows 8 and I have an outlook (email) account...

  Thank you.

  If you use the Internet browser to access your email (whether to outlook.com, yahoo, or gmail, or other), there is probably no client messaging on your computer.  A client of garlic is a program, not a website.  So to have an e-mail client, you need a program such as Microsoft Office Outlook ($), Mozilla Thunderbird (free) or Windows Live Mail (free).

  You can install client software for messaging and then these types of e-mail links will work.

  Hello

  You have a common problem of Windows 7. You must set a default e-mail program and Windows 7 did not come with a pre-installed email program.

  The default e-mail program must be installed on the computer - for example Windows Mail (Vista), Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, etc.

  Windows Live Mail is popular
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Live/Essentials
  Is Thunderbird http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/

  Windows Essentials help:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Live/Windows-essentials-help

  You can access outlook.com via Windows Live Mail

  Set up an email application with Outlook.com - Microsoft Windows Help:

  After installing an e-mail program, make sure you have a default e-mail together program control panel > Default programs > set access and computer program defaults > Custom > click on the arrow down.

• Cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed... help

  I can't send an e-mail from a link on a page without getting this error... "could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed"...    My windows mail is set as default and I can receive and send him good, please help.

  Thank you

  A program is defined as default does not mean that it has considered all of the default roles available.  In the case of Outlook 2007, there are 13 total default values that can be assigned, and it should have each of them.  It is possible to default Outlook for e-mail, but not the default value for write links in web pages.

  Unlike Windows XP & Vista, Win7 does not have a default email Client. [What were thinking?]

  You will need to install a (e.g. MS Outlook;) Windows Live Mail; Thunderbird) , and then set it as a default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) article in Set Program Access and defaults of the computer , then restart your computer before any function send to or MailTo will become available.

  In this forum, you will find some support for Outlook: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/outlook

• "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed" when you use Windows Mail

  Original title: loss of entrance of Protocol in the list of saved files

  I use an old Toshiba laptop of two year with Vista as an operating system. It came with a trial version of Microsoft Office already installed. I had no use for it then after the trial expires I uninstalled. This seems to have created a minor problem with the e-mail program. When I visit a Web site and click on 'Contact us' I get an error message as follows "cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." I suspect strongly as during the uninstallation of office he removed a protocol in the list entry, similarly, the bottom of the list of the saved files. A check with other similar computers with Vista installed seems to confirm this. If someone at - it a quick fix to this problem? I don't want to resort to installing a whole new email software to fix this minor problem if I can avoid it.

  Hello Karena R, yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail, and I must say that I prefer Windows Mail Live Mail program. After making sure that Live Mail is the deafult for all messaging functions and that the entry "Mail Protocol" was now back to the list of saved files, I checked the problem mentioned in my original post. He is not fixed! Another small problem is fixed now if. In my "drafts" mailbox I have some e-mails stored there and when I click on one of them upwards now comes an email with the appropriate address inserted in the address line. Who could not before. I used to get this error message, which is now the new title of my post. So why the difference when I click on email address that I find on Web sites? Now, I also find that by Michael following the instructions (below), I do not see an entry "mailto" but his suggestion to step d. type in "URL Protocol" is not appropriate because it is already there. The installation of an entirely new email software should have my computer all the necessary entries for the new program to function properly in all respects. So what's happening? It begins to look as if uninstalling the program Office has pulled something real Vista operating system.

  It's a good thing, I thought of the research on other boards for my missing post.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\mailto

  c. in the Edit menu, select new, then clickstring goodwill.

  d. type of Protocol of URL as the name of the new string value

  e. exit the registry editor

• Download "the default mail client is not properly installed" when I press a button on the site for email.

  Original title: default mail Client

  Sometimes a website has a button to send no given address. When I hit the button I get the message "the default mail client is not properly installed".  What does that mean? I do not see in any Windows mail information page.

  Are you doing your e-mail on a web site? If so, you probably haven't
  set up a default email client. The e-mail client is the program
  you use for mail, not a website. Standard e-mail programs are
  Outlook.exe, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, strong Agent, etc. He
  are a lot of choices.

  I have a software which sends emails for reports. The software calls the default mail client (Thunderbird) and sends the e-mail. However, this open Thunderbird and gets in the way. Is there anyway this could send the email without opening Thunderbird? Can it run in the background like outlook express? It should be closed after the e-mail was sent.

  Hi ESPLongBeach,

  (1) what you email client use to send email (Outlook, Windows mail, Windows Live Mail)

  It could be that you need to set your default e-mail client.

  1. click on START and then default programs.
  2. click on "set your default programs."
  3 look to the bottom of the list for the e-mail program use. Until it clicks.
  4. toward the bottom of the page, there will be a link that says: set this program as default. Until it clicks.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• 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.

• How to set up a default mail client in Win7

  I just installed Win7 for my laptop and also installed computer Claws Mail.

  I wish that Windows uses claws as default e-mail client. (for example, in Internet Explorer, click on file/send to delivers an error > no default e-mail client)

  Claws does NOT appear on the list of programs in the list of default programs.

  Claws appears in the list of Protocol as an application MAILTO.

  This should be a really basic question.  I'm still at it for hours.

• Cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." I understand that Internet Explorer 64 bit cannot be set as default browser

  I want people to be able to send me an email on my site and I get this. I don't know much about computers. I have Notepad, but do not know how to use it. Help, please. and he explained the same way you would for a dummy

  No, I want a link on my site for people to send me an email...

  If they use an email client will have no problem. If this is not the case, they would have to copy and paste the link into their Webmail program field, so the link should be your actual address and not something like send me an Email with your address buried inside.
