How to install the default mail client?

Today, I came across the same problem that happened recently, about my inability to send an email. I sign up for a club and at the end of the record, I was NOT able to send the necessary information to join. I got a pop up message that read - cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed. Anyone know how I can fix this problem?    Thank you, Charlie

Click on the Start button and then default programs, and then click on associate a program with a file type and Protocol.

Everything at the bottom of this page is (mailto) in the list, click it, and then on change, a list of the installed mail programs appears, click the one you want to use and close now listed at the bottom of the page.

    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

  • 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

    Note: Office 2010 Home and Student Edition is not include 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

    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.

  • How to change the e-mail client to send photos in XP

    I am running Windows XP. Using Windows images and faxes - do I want to send some pictures. However, when I right click on a picture to post and get the option ' send to ' and choose 'Recipient' I do not get a choice of what mail client to use. It just sends me to a block of connection to Hotmail at https://login.live.com.  I do not use Hotmail and I want to use my default mail client, and I wonder why I'm not as Windows?

    Someone know how I could possibly change this, or is it impossible to have a choice for sending photos?

    It is a small netbook computer that I use when I travel I use a webmail from my provider regular mail client. On my desktop at home, I use Thunderbird and it captures images that I would like to mail. I suppose as well that a mail client based on the web can never be recognized as an e-mail client to send photos directly from Windows images and faxes, right?

    ==============================
    Unfortunately a webmail client will not work.

    Should be easy enough to open a new
    Send an e-mail Message and attach your photos.

    Free the following if resizing is a problem...
    Can resize PowerToy for Windows XP
    lots of photos very quickly:

    Click on the following link and the left click of the
    PowerToys tab...

    Windows XP downloads
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-XP

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download and install: ImageResizer.exe
    (Filename: ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe)
    (does not work on Vista)

    Then, you can open any folder containing
    images and you will have an option to resize.
    Just right click the selected image files and
    Choose resize images in the menu. You
    can select a picture or an entire group.

    The program will place the resized in copies
    the folder with your originals.
    (Tip: * never * overwrite your originals)

    To ensure that images in both portrait and
    landscape orientation are resized to the
    same dimensions... go to... Advanced...
    and enter the largest number in these two areas.
    IOW... for 600 x 800... Enter 800 in these two areas.

    Hi ESPLongBeach,

    (1) what you email client use to send email (Outlook, Windows mail, Windows Live Mail)
    (2) is your email set up for the email client

    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 install the aa mail program in Windows Photo Viewer

    Can someone help me learn how to install a mail program in Windows 7 Photo Viewer?

    Thank you
    Dave

    Ken,

    Thank you for your interest for my problem.  Where I am is the following: I received a digital SLR Canon T3i and finally managed to upload images in the Canon Digital Photo Professional and then managed to create a record of some of these pictures on the desktop.  These images are of a grandchild and his mother call wanting to know when I will be emailing them him every 5 minutes.  I think I was wrong to use the term 'install' an e-mail program in Photo Viewer when I think now what he says "attach" a mail program.  My frustration is not being able to understand Canon programs and also not being able to understand how to send images.  I appreciate your interest and hope that I have answered your question.
    Thank you and a healthy and happy new year to you and your family
