Default email client

Hello Denise,

To change the default mail client, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Start menu.

2. Select settings.

3. Select the Apps icon.

4. Now click on Default apps.

5. Look for the email heading.

6. Click on the current default email client just below the heading.

7. The Choose an app menu should now be in view.

8. Click on the email client you wish to make the default app.

9. Close the Settings window.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and we regret for the inconvenience.

Please be informed that the Mail App is not an email client. The MAPI support for email is still available for email clients like Office Outlook.

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps setting the right email client as default.

Settings > System > Default apps > Look for the Email heading > Click on the current default email client just below heading > Click on the email client under the app menu.

Write to us with the updated status for us to be able to assist you further.

Thank you.
