    Microsoft Office calls the wrong email client


    I'm doing this the below from within MS Office 365. It doesn't matter if it is Word, Excel, or Powerpoint.


    I'm trying to send a DOCX file as an attachment. However, Word calls Thunderbird instead of Outlook. My Win10 has set Outlook as the default mail client. I've also looked at Outlook itself and set Outlook to be the default app for everything it can handle. Below is how my Thunderbird settings look like:

    Questions related to default email client in Windows 10

    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.

    Spoiler Office 2019
    Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

    • Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
    • Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
      • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
      • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
      • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
    • The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.
