Default mail settings

Hi,
After getting Opendirectory and Kerberos up and running, I thought it would be nice to set up default mail settings, so if I create a new user, He does not have to set up his own mail settings, but they are pushed from the opendirectory server.
The manual mentions going into the workgroup manager, click preferences, and use the icon "internet"
only problem is, I have no icon "Internet" I have all the others, applications, finder, network, ... but no internet.
Ive noticed on an older server of ours, we do have the internet option, but that is a 10.4, and is not working as our open directory server.
Any ideas on how to get that option there?
thanks!
PS: the manual for workgroup manager on 10.5 has a screenshot of the preferences screen, that also lacks the internet icon, yet in their texts they claim there is.

got a bit further, I found this:
http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20080103114111689
it tells me an mcx script that would take care of it, but it does not speak on how to implement these? Do I save the mcx code as a .plist file? I tried that, went into the workgroup manager, preferences, went into details and added the plist file containing the mcx code. Did not work ...
Could anyone please explain to me how mcx scripts are implemented?
thank you.

    Lost my usual "Write Mail Settings." The format at the top changed and also changed to a blue color. How do I get my default settings back when I click on "Write Mail"?

    Restart your Mac occasionally. Personally, I shutdown my macs every night.
    It goes without saying, leave your apps in the Applications folder.
    Max out your RAM, it's cheap these days. Recommend OWC: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/ and/or Crucial: http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
    Make sure hard drive has at least 15% free space available.
    Upgrade your hard drive to a 7200 rpm model or a solid state drive: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    Avoid software's like MacKeeper, and other softwares that claim to clean your Mac.

    I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    The problems I am having are when I use Yahoo! with the iMac mail application.  Yahoo works fine on the browser. 
    The outgoing settings I am using are:
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): yahoo.co.uk (Offline)

    Server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Use default ports (25, 465, 587)

    Of note:
    I cannot stop it from saying Offline after the outgoing mail server.

  • Either there is no default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request-----error Outlook 2010

    I've tried EVERYTHING suggested in this link (http://blog.timolthof.com/outlook-no-default-mail-client-error/) and everything google and bing and still this message keeps popping up.  Now when I do a windows search for email, I'm not able to view
    the email due to this message.
    For the record, I am running W7 Ultimate x64 and connected via Excange Server.  I do have another system that is running Office 2010 with none of these problems so I don't know if it's related to Exchange though the searches I've done don't allude
    to that.
    What's up?

    Hi,
    I understand that when you tried to open Outlook 2010 beta on the Windows 7 64-bit computer, you encountered the following error:
    "Either there is not default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and
    set it as the default mail client."
    You have checked the settings under the registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
    I understand the inconvenience you have encountered and appreciate the time and effort you spent on this issue. Please be assured that I
    will try my best to help you.
    Now let’s troubleshoot the issue by the suggestions below. Please check the results after each suggestion until the problem is resolved.
    Suggestion 1: manually set Outlook 2010 as the default e-mail client on Windows 7:
    ===================
    1.      
    Click Start.
    2.      
    Type "default programs" in the
    Search box.
    3.      
    Click Default Programs under
    Programs in the search results.
    4.      
    Now click Set your default programs.
    5.      
    Highlight Microsoft Outlook on the left.
    6.      
    Click Set this program as default.
    7.      
    Click OK.
    Suggestion 2: Start the Outlook program in safe mode
    ==============
    1.      
    Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
    Microsoft Office.
    2.      
     Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Outlook program you want to start.
    If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Outlook program, we can try
    to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Outlook program:
    Disable add-ins
    Click
    File menu, click Options > 
    Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
    Com-in Add.
    Check if there are any add-ins,
    clear the checkbox to disable them.
    Close the Office program and
    restart it.
    Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
    restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
    Suggestion 3: Test the issue with a new Windows user account
    ==============
    We can follow the steps in the articles to create a new user account to test the issue. If the problem does not occur in the new user account, some settings
    in the old account are corrupted. We can copy the main user files from the old account to the new account, delete the old account, and then continue using the new account.
    For the detailed steps on how to create a new user account and copy data from the old account to the new account, you can refer to the following articles:
    For Windows Vista/Windows 7:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. . If anything is unclear or if there
    is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

  • [solved] XFCE default mail client

    In preferred applications in the XFCE settings manager the two simple questions appeared: default web browser and default mail client.  I set these to firefox and thunderbird respectively, and XFCE indeed recognized that I meant Bon Echo and Mail/News. For the strangest reason, every hyperlink to an HTTP or FTP protocol will indeed open up in firefox and go where it should, but mailto links will do nothing.  In firefox I searched about:config for all options containing the world "mail" and set them to enable as many things as possible.  Gmail is smart enough to open mailto links because it overrides the default mail client behaviour and just opens up a Gmail compose window, which I'm sure many of you know.  This is another one of those minor problems that I'm having alot of these days, so any help would be appreciated.

  • Lost mail settings, address book, ichat settings and other prsnl settings!!

    Quick question for you. Have you heard of anything in 10.4+ that causes the machine to revert back to startup condition loosing address book content, mail settings, ichat setttings, along with other personal settings??
    All of iphoto still has its content. You have any idea? This happened to my parents machine on the eastcoast and I am trying to figure out what happened. Supposedly my father was "doing something" and then they noticed this happened. Is there something he could have done to reset the settings like that? Thanks for any input.
    I have read a lot of posts that people are having the same kind of issue, at least with address book.

    Hey Jeremy, my iBook is all messed up, too. Somehow it set back to the default settings. Mail, Address Book, iTunes and iPhoto lost their data. However, all music and photo files are still in folders, only all of my emails are gone, which is more or less a catastrophe! Having read your discussion, I somehow have the impression that it has something to do with the user name, I wanted to change the name and then all of a sudden there was a big mess which resulted in having two users now, but all of the folders are mixed up. Can you be a little more precise about the repairing that worked for you, I would appreciate it very much, since I'm not very familiar with Apple products yet.
    Thanks, Daniel

  • Default Mail, Contacts, Calendars options

    What are the default Mail, Contacts, Calendar options? Nephew was playing with phone and changed a bunch of settings. Curious what are the default settings since I liked it the way it was.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Account/en/acct21675.html
    The contacts didn't seem to work for me. I'm syncing mine via iTunes still. The rest works well.

  • Can I set Firefox as my windows 7 default mail client?

    I've already set Firefox's mailto/send etc email program to Gmail, but I want to also set the Windows 7 default mail client to use FireFox (which knows to use gmail). For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach" I get an error: "Either there is no default e-mail client, or the current client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client" What is the equivalent way to run FireFox and set it as the default Windows 7 client? I want my OS default e-mail to open Firefox and then use the e-mail settings already setup in FireFox.
    == For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach"

    No you cannot because Firefox is not a email client. [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] has a built in email client that you can use

  • Default mail client error

    Hi;
    I get this error mesage when trying to sync my Iphone to my PC:
    *"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."*
    I have Outlook Express. Under OPTIONS=>GENERAL=>DEFAULT MESSAGING PROGRAMS its says "This application is the default mail handler" . Is there another setting I've missed ? Please advise. Thanks!

    The sync mail accounts setting only syncs the account settings, not the mail itself. There's no reason to do it more than once - account settings don't change (unless you make a change such as password).
    Connect your phone with iTunes open and you'll see your phone show up as a device tab on the left side of the window. Click the "Info" section (on the top of the device window). Uncheck the comcast account, or better yet, uncheck "Sync Mail Accounts."

  • "no default mail client": windows 7, adobe reader 11, office 2013

    re: Error: "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run MS Outlook and set it as the default mail client etc."
    Does anyone know how to permanently stop this error, when simply tring to launch a PDF to view it????
    Windows 7, Office 2013, Acrobat Pro 11.0.3
    A test was done to uninstall reader 11, and reinstall 9.5, which at least allowed the PDF to be viewed on one computer, but did not fix other apps needing to interoperate with PDF and email (i.e. attach and email).
    Is this a windows 7 registry problem, or a DLL problem?

    Hi Randal,
    Firstly even though Outlook is set as default mail client you need to reapply the same from 'Start> Default Programs> Set Default Programs'
    Now check if you still face the issue.
    If Yes then you MUST add an email account in Reader to eliminate this message
    In your Reader Preferences under Email Accounts, click Add Account>Other
    In the Add Webmail Account window, input your email account details
    Under Advanced Settings, configure your incoming and outgoing ports and security settings per your email account
    Click OK, and then click Add. In the window, click the email account you just added and click "Make Default"
    When it's set as the default mail account you'll see a check mark, and you WON'T see the error message anymore.
    In case you still face issues please try the following registry change:
    The registry edit is here for Office  2013 64 bit click to run installations that will enable Outlook 2013 to  be recognized by third party applications:
    1. Create registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook
    2. Create String value:
    Bitness
    3. Set the String value for Bitness to:
    x64
    Note: Please backup the registry before trying to modify it.

  • Office 365 Outlook and Adobe 11.0.3 Error: "Either there is no default mail client or the current.."

    If you are getting this message, Error: "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run MS Outlook and set it as the default mail client etc."
    There is a temporary work around and that is to click the "Tools" button and that will hide that pane.
    I contacted Adobe since I have a subscription and created a ticket. I spoke again with the helpdesk represenative and he raised the issue with the engineering team during a meeting that they had today. This compatibility issue will be examined and proposed for a fix in an upcoming release / update of Adobe Reader.

    Manually setting a new email account per Outlook settings will resolve the error message as well.

  • No Default Mail Client Error with Outlook 2010, Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server, and TAM

    We are running a software package on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server called TAM (The Agency Manager) along with Outlook 2010.  The application uses a MAPI connection to retrieve mail data from Outlook to be able to send and receive messages inside
    the application.  On our individual PC's this works just fine, but on the Terminal Server users we get the message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run Microsoft Outlook
    and set it as the default mail client."  
    I've tried the steps listed in KB 813745 which tells you to delete the registry keys and run a repair in Office, but that didn't resolve the issue.  I've searched on this issue, but haven't found anything useful.  Any suggestions would be much
    appreciated.

    Try to set DEP and add outlook.exe. I had outlook 2007 same problem. With DEP enabled and outlook, word en excel also added to the list it worked again.
    You can find it under this computer, properties, then change settings. Click advanced tab and then select the first "settings" option.The click the "Data Execution Prevention" (DEP) and select the last option and add the office programs
    there.
    Hope this helps.

  • Iphone Notes - how do I change the default mail address?

    This a variation of the question of why my notes FROM the Iphone do not sync into Outlook Notes, anymore.
    In my Iphone Notes set up, it refers to my gmail address as the default address.  In my Mail, I have two Outlook addresses, with one being the default mail.
    Having found some of my missing notes in my Gmail notes, I now think my problem is in the address.
    But I cannot see any way to change my Notes default address to one of my Outlook addresses.  No matter how much I try, a change will not activate.
    Question:  what steps do I take to change my Notes default address from [email protected] to [email protected] ?
    Thank you

    The default email address can be set via Settings > Notes
    Whether an email address will appear on that list will depend upon whether you have notes 'on' for the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars (select the account on the right-hand side of that screen)

  • Submit By Email Doesn't Launch Outlook 2010 as Default Mail Client, though Outlook is properly set a

    A form designed in LiveCycle Designer with a Submit By Email button, doesn't launch Outlook 2010 (Standard Edition) when clicked, although Outlook is properly configured as Default Mail Client.  Checked with Microsoft and followed all proper steps yet the button doesn't invoke Outlook onClick.  However, Outlook is launched if a link or html button, set to the mailto syntax is clicked.  Is this a PDF form issue for LiveCycle or is there something I am missing?  Please any ideas?

    I have this problem on Win7 64bit, but it seems to work fine with XP and Vista. Not sure about Win7 32bit.
    I've also seen the problem in the past with programs like Thunderbird set to be the default email client (on XP).
    I've never been able to figure out if it's an Adobe or Microsoft problem. Adobe uses the MAPI settings to find the email client.
