The value of 2016 Outlook as default e-mail client... Does not!

Hi all

New user for os x here

Please can someone help me - I want to configure outlook 2016 as the default mail client, so that when I click a hyperlink for e-mail, the outlook client open, rather than the mail client.

I tried to go into the mail client and select Outlook as a client by default, but then when I close the window after you make the change, if I open it again, the new option is preselected in the 'mail '... So it is not confirming the change.

Any ideas?

Seriously frustrating!

Thank you
Alan.

Well, the mail is my default on my MBA, but I tested and found the same thing you did. But I found a work around that can work for you. In the letter the ability to switch the default email clients also has a last option: select. Choose who and when the file picker appears go to Outlook and select it. Close the preferences panel, then reopen it. Outlook needs to always be selected. At least it was for me. In fact, I had to do the same thing to get my default back to Mail.

  • "not installed default e-mail client." What does that mean?

    I am responsible for the maintenance of a website for a club which I am a member.  The club has a generic Hotmail email address we use to send e-mail to and receive e-mail from people.  I put this as a link email address several times on the site, so that people can contact the club.  When I click on one of the links I'm stuck for an e-mail sent to the Hotmail address.  However, now someone has sent me an email to my personal email address, saying that when they click on one of these links, they get the "default e-mail client" message not installed.  Since they can send email for me but not for the club, when the two email addresses are authentic, it's a mystery to me.  They use the browser Internet Explorer and Outlook OWA for emails.  Can anyone help?

    David

    This error message simply means that they use a browser for their email and not an e-mail client AND seek to "send to" or some other function, an e-mail client is required for.  I suspect that there is something unique on the link of the web site or anything else on the site.  I suspect since you are the owner of the site/page (and probably have an e-mail client installed) you do not see the problem, but those who do not have an email client.

  • 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.

    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:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Outlook/send-receive-from-app

    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.

    Web-based e-mail services can only be made the default e-mail program in these 2 cases:
    * Yahoo, with the Yahoo tool bar

    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.

  • "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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.
