• How can I install correctly "Default Mail Client"

  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.

  Unlike Windows XP & Vista, Windows 7 does not include 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.

• Default mail client is not properly installed

  I get this message when I click on an e-mail link. Default mail client is not properly installed. How can I fix it

  Happends error because you have installed/used a different browser, then Internet Explorer, then during the uninstallation of the browser, you have broken the link between your default browser.

  The e-mail client has no path. To fix it, try to open your current browser, go to tools > Options, and then set the default browser. Close and your e-mail program. Re-open your email and try to open a hyperlink again, see if that fixes.  If not, go into Internet Explorer (if you are not already) and go to tools > options > advanced down, press reset, do not forget to reset personal settings, and then make sure the "default" browser is selected, and close.  This fixed my problem and is recommended for a few other places, give it a try.

  Edit: If it does not, what email program are you using?  Set it as default value (via the options of the program) also do so via the browser, Internet Explorer you go tools > Options > and set your e-mail by default also program...
