• Can I use Thunderbird as my main e-mail client? I currently use Fastmail and want to let him down. If I can, how do I configure it?

  I want to drop Fastmail as my e-mail client and would like to, if possible, just use Thunderbird. Is it possible and if yes, how can I configure Thunderbird for this?

  Thank you

  Looks like they are an e-mail provider FastMail. Suppliers to deliver and operate e-mail accounts.
  Thunderbird is a software email client. Client software runs on your computer to help you manage your e-mail.
  They are not interchangeable.
  You can use Thunderbird to manage most of the e-mail accounts that you get from a vendor. Without a provider you have email.

• Hypothesis: Try to recover from a failed installation of XP Service Pack 3? - and - install correctly the e-mail client!

  Windows XP Home - I dropped a SP3 installation failure - and continued to my business.  Started to get the error message with IE features failed: "mail client is not properly installed.»  Advice seemed simple - "set access and default program ' but I couldn't find the options described by 'start' or 'control panel' research brought me to information which"set the default settings of the program"was a feature in SP1.
  So, here I am making assumptions.  1. How can I "correctly install customer e-mail (I use aol).»  2. I NEED TO revisit the attempt to install SP3?  Did the failure of the installation of the SP3 clear features in SP1?  Start a new installation of SP3?  Thanks for all the advice (but please enter slowly to more old-but-eager man who yet does not speak "geek" very well).  Thanks in advance. -Bill

  Is IE7 or IE8 installed?

  Which application should be the default email Client?

  To reaffirm the default value: start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Set Program Access and Defaults. Click on the arrows pointing towards the bottom right of the configuration that is already checked. E-mail: Select Client Mail appropriate here (not "use my current... »).

• 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!

• E-mail client form Acrobat to personnel who receive us and collect?

  A customer wants to distribute a form in acrobat (not livecycle) that we have created, but has our facility (FDF) to collect and collate information from our side. There is not a lot of respondents so we allocate just one of our PC to cope.

  Form submit button would have obviously an email address which we assigned.

  If so are there problems that we have to look out for?

  We are using Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP platform.

  Thank you very much

  If you have a group of people for which you may be able to control the e-mail clients for, then, your solution is viable. The problem is that email usually requires MAPI to be active and it uses the MAPI client (there may be a change with AA9, I'm not sure - check the manual). If it works for all the people, you are in good shape and it may be that you just need to try a sample form to see the result. Bill

• Thunderbird is not my default mail client and should not be. Although I unchecked the box in the Sytem integration «Always check...» ', he persists in checking

  even as I unchecked it in the integration of the system "always check to see if Thunderbird is the default e-mail at startup", I always get the message when I run Thunderbird. I could understand this behavior to commercial companies, but not to nonprofit organizations. In front of my desktop computer, I need to use another product for official couriers, but I like to use Thunderbird for checking private emails. I might have to choose a different e-mail client when I run the risk that, by default in Thunderbird, I could send business related emails on my private account.
  Best regards

• "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

• What is the best way to import my address and e-mail of Pegasus in Thunderbird?

  I use Windows 7 x 64. I have a number of files and many electronic addresses in the Pegasus Mail client. I'm looking to migrate to Thunderbird. Can you tell me the best way to move my files to Thunderbird?

  Thank you
  Allen Hill

  For your address books, can export you to a format such as CSV?

  To move e-mail messages, the cleaner is to use the IMAP protocol. Then your new client look just the same files you had in Pegasus.

  Unfortunately, email clients tend to use their own systems of storage of e-mail owner and there is no commonly used standards that could help to transfer between clients. If you can export files in mbox format, then Thunderbird can use.

• Apple Mail keeps coming back to Chrome as default mail client

  I have a mid 2013 13 - inch MacBook Air with OS X 10.11.5. I regularly use the Apple Mail as my default email without any problem client. I also use Safari as my browser main opening only Chrome sometimes when I have a problem with a particular Web site. I have my email of company through Mail and use gmail on Safari for my personal e-mail. I worked this way for years. Suddenly in the last two weeks, if I click on an email link in Mail it opens in Chrome. I'm in Mail preferences and default mail software is Google Chrome, even if I never made this change. I then change the e-mail by default back to Mail reader and exit preferences. I then click on a link in Mail and maybe email, it opens a window of response in the mail, but often he has already been restored to Google Chrome, in a few seconds. Closing and opening of mail does not solve this problem, also using the "Select" feature in the drop-down list the default e-mail reader and choose manually the Mail of my Applications folder does not resolve this problem. He continues to come back to Chrome as default mail software. Somehow Chrome apparently hijacked my default player, how can I permanently solve this problem?

  Hi there g8rben!

  I know how it is important that your default e-mail and browser settings work correctly as well. I suggest to start in safe mode and see if you can make changes here. Check out the following steps: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

  Start in safe mode

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  If safe mode doesn't resolve the issue, try uninstalling Google Chrome and then put it back. I hope these steps help!

• I want that thunderbird to run in the background when I call the default mail client

  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.

  Is it possible to get the thunderbird recognize the Outlook file?

  The automatic import program only works if you have TB and the former program installed on the same computer. If possible, I suggest to install TB on the old computer which currently has Outlook, run the auto import option and then transfer the profile of TB from the old computer to to on the new machine.

  The method that I found which is the simplest and most reliable is to copy the folder Thunderbird of the old machine to the new one:
