How can I make "mail" my default email app?

When I click on an email address from Cobook or on a web page viewed in Safari, the chrome app opens to a gmail account that I rarely use. How can I make my regular Mail app the default?
Thanks.

Open Mail -> Preferences. Under the General tab there should be an option to select the default Mail app.

    YEA!  My jurryrig worked!  To all with this problem:
    You CAN have podcasts in a regular playlist IF you convert them to a standard MP3 first.  So, yes, a lot of manual labor
    The good news: if, like me, it is a track that you listen to frequently (in my case meditations for sleep and relaxation) then the time is worth it.  I will mess with automator later to see if there is anyway to script this!  Then, less work for me and more for my mac.
    Here are the steps:
    Select the file from your Podcast folder.
    Change all data you need -- "artist," "album" etc...
    Make a copy of the cover art for this file by dragging it to the desktop.
    Select the Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags menu item.
    Check ID3 tag version, and select "v1.0" from the drop-down menu.
    Drag the file to the desktop (this will make a copy of the MP3 on the desktop)
    Delete the file from the iTunes list.
    Drag the copy of the file you have on the Desktop back into iTunes.
    Search for the file in the Library, and add the cover art again to the file.
    Now the file is out of the Podcasts folder and works like a regular MP3 file inside iTunes. You can re-add it back to playlists!

  • I just upgraded from Express to Pro.  When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express.  "Open With ..." says Express is the default.  How can I make Pro the default instead?

    I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro.  When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro.  "Open With ..." says Express is the default.  How can I make Pro the default instead?

    Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

    I've just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows.  How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

    Usually the default program associated with an image file extension is an image developing Program like Lightroom or an image editing program like Photoshop. If you want to change the default associated program to Adobe Bridge you would use Window's Controls Panel file association applet.

  • How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?

    How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?    I want to be able to right click on a .jpg file, select the EDIT option in the Context Menu, then have Photoshop edit the file instead of Paint.
    In Windows XP it was very easy to use the File Manger to associate the file type .jpg and action edit with Photoshop.    No so easy in Windows 7.  It is easy to change the default OPEN application, but I would like to leave Windows Viewer as the default OPEN application and have Photoshop as the EDIT applicaiton.

    Before I posted the original question here, I had probably spent a couple of hours trying to research it.   I hate to find no answer for something I know can be done.   So I spent some more time and found the following in the bowels of a Tech Forum that is generally way over my head.  I have modified it to be Photoshop specific.
    These instructions will update the default EDIT action for image types - jpg,png,gif and the variations.     If you are unfamiliar with editing the program registry you probably will want to back up your registry or take a system backup.
    1. Open up the registry editor (Regedit.exe).
    You will need to be signed on as a Windows user that is an administrator
    2. Find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -> SystemFileAssociations -> image ->  shell -> edit -> command
    This seems like it would be easy but it is not, because there are many key names that are very close (like System.FilesAssociations).   Keep looking because you will find it eventually. 
    3. Double click on "Default" (on right window pane) and update the program location.
    You should see that MSPAINT.EXE is the current program.
    Erase the existing value and enter you photoshop location in quotes followed by %1 in quotes.  For me this is "C:\Program Files  (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe" "%1"  
    Hit return.
    4.  Exit Regit and test.

  • How can I make a custom domain email for my client?

    I have an Adobe Muse subscription, with hosting through Adobe, and the Domain name is also with Adobe. How can I make an email for a particular domain for my client so that it will use a "company email" (even if it just redirects to say a gmail or yahoo that is fine) to read "[email protected]?

    Hello,
    As I can see you have a WebBasic Creative Cloud site, I would suggest you to use GoogleApps for your e-mail services.
    Please have a look at the article which would help you achieve this : http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/setting-google-apps-email-business.html
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I force Mail to send email requesting a server DSN?

    I would like mail to send every message with a server DSN request (the RFC1891 type). I found "tech savvy" info on this archived thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1965944?start=0&tstart=0
    But, I am not a technical person, so, how can I get mail to do this in practise? Or would there be a utility/add-on/plug-in that allows for this?

    First thing to try: go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck 'Mail' in the list there. Then re-check it. Give it time to settle in. Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts (not 'Accounts' in the 'Mail' menu) and select your iCloud account. You should see this:
    'Email address' (greyed out) is your login - this should be your @me.com address. The 'Alias' drop-down menu should both versions of your address - @me.com and @icloud.com/ - plus any aliases you have set up.
    (the image is from Mavericks, I would expect Yosemite to be much the same).
    If this hasn't worked, try clicking the Sign Out button in System Preferences>iCloud. It wouldn't hurt to reboot; then sign back in again. Your iCloud synced data will disappear when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in (give it time).

  • How can I make the sort default "by date" in iPhoto?

    On one of my computers, every time I load an event, it goes to the top of the library and I have to go to "sort/by date" to get it to go to the end or bottom of the library...where I want it.
    On my other computers, the default seems to be "by date" normally....
    How can I make the default sort option "by date?"
    Thanks.

    I am not by that computer now.  But that makes sense.
    I combine events that are imported into that iPhoto.  I suppose that would qualify as manually sorting....right?
    Still, shouldn't there be a way to overide that and make "date" the default.  That is, if your observation is correct.
    (I'll take a look tomorrow....)
    Thanks!!

  • How can I make mail stop putting an address into spam mail

    Hi---There's one particular email address which keeps beig put into the spam folder of my inbox. Ive tried "adding address to book", resending the email, but still, every time I get an email from this particular address (who by the way is a friend!) it goes to spam. How can I tell mail not to consider this address spam? Thanks!

    Have you also done the obvious by marking the received message(s) as Not Junk and then moving the message(s) from the account's Junk mailbox to the account's Inbox mailbox?
    You should also consider using the Junk Mail reset feature and you can leave Junk Mail set to automatic when doing so.
