Windows 10: A problem with the default mail reader

The OS is Win 10 Home 64 bit. I have been using Dream Mail client for years. It is the only client that I found so far that I can setup the 3 email accounts that I have and keep the emails separate from each other. I am having a problem setting the default email app. When I click on the mail icon it only shows the Win default mail icon and "look for an app in the store". See the attached picture. Lets say I am looking up an Amateur Radio Operator's call on QRZ.com using Firefox and I want to send him/her an email. The persons email address is posted along with the rest of the persons info (if they choose to have it displayed) anyways When I click on the email address, I want it to open Dream Mail client. Win won't do that and I don't know how to make Dream Mail the default client, let alone make Win even see Dream Mail right now. Right now I have to manually copy and past the email address into Dream Mail. I could use some help please.

BTW you have to have an Amateur Radio license to get into QRZ.com and look at a person's info.

Problem with Outlook 2016 not remembering default PDF app choice

Thanks for the suggestion. I wonder though if the issue actually has anything to do with the Adobe Reader? When I first observed the problem Edge was showing as the default PDF reader in Outlook's drop down list. It was possible to select Adobe Reader from the list, but even though we put a check in the box for Outlook to remember the choice it didn't. After setting the Adobe Reader as the default in Control Panel/Default Programs/ the icon on PDF files changed to the Adobe Reader icon and it replaced Edge as the first app in Outlook's drop down list, however Outlook continues to ask and doesn't save the choice.

One thing I wanted to try was repairing Microsoft Office, but strangely there is no entry in Programs and Features. I wonder if there's a way to run the repair from the command line?
