How do I change email client when clicking mailto links?

I have reformatted my computer about 1 month ago. Everything almost as I had it before. Just 1 thing that is bugging me.
'''My email client is IncrediMail'''. When clicking mailto links in Internet Explorer, my IncrediMail opens as it should do, but in Firefox (which is my preferred default web browser) it opens another tab, wanting me to sign in to GMail to compose my mail.
I do have GMail accounts, '''BUT''' I want Firefox to open up my IncrediMail to compose my emails, just like it did before my reformat.
Any ideas would be gratefully received ;)

To make Firefox use Incredimail for mailto links, do the following.
1. find the path to Incredimail on my Windows 7 machine it's:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\IncrediMail\Bin\IncMail.exe" (you can find this by right clicking on the desktop Incredimail Icon and selecting Properties. Copy this address))
2. Type about:config into your Firefox location bar and hit enter. If you've never edited used about:config before, you'll see a warning.
3. Click "I'll be careful, I promise!" This will bring you to the about:config window.
4. In the filter field type "gecko". Find the entry gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.name;
5. Right click and select Modify.
6. Paste or type the Incredimail path in the field provided "C:\Program Files (x86)\IncrediMail\Bin\IncMail.exe" (the qoutes are required)
7. Make sure that network.protocol-handler.external.mailto; is set to true.
That worked for me after many hours of searching and finding answers posted by individuals who wanted to help but didn't have a clue.

  • How to open subscribe dialog box when clicking ics link

    I would like to create a web page containing all our shared calendar links so my users need only to click a link which will open iCal, have the "subscribe" dialog box pop up and have the calendar URL auto filled.
    I've gotten as far as opening the ics file with iCal but am stuck on how to force the "subscribe" box to automatically open.
    For example, I would want the link: http://sharedcalendars/home/scott/calendar.ics
    to open iCal, pop up the "subscribe" box and auto fill the URL field with http://sharedcalendar/home/scott/calendar.ics .
    My users are lazy and complain to great lengths about having to manually type the URL of each shared calendar.
    Any Ideas?

    mouse listener on the tree, see if the click count is 2 and what node it clicked, open the dialog. MouseEvent can give you the click count and x/y coordinate, JTree can tell you what node is at that coordinate.

    Hi,
    Iam using swing application. I have a requirement, when users clicks on button i need to open a default client email.(i.e eg outlook new email dialog). I also need to attach files to that emai.
    Similar thing can be done in web based application using mailto: functionality.
    I have tried with the following code.
    String email = "cmd.exe /c start \"title\" \"mailto:[email protected]?Subject=what ever msg&cc=[email protected]&Body=what ever msg body&Attach=\"C:\\temp\\report_path.txt\"\" ";
    Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime( );
    Process subProcess = runTime.exec( email );
    subProcess.waitFor( );
    int processValue = subProcess.exitValue( );
    This works but the attachments are not working.
    Can any body give me some details or good solution for this?
    This is very urgent please
    Regards

    Hi,
    Generally, we can export the mailbox data to an Outlook for Mac Date file(.olm file) in Outlook 2011 for Mac. As for Outlook for Windows, the default Outlook Data file is .PST file. If so, we need to find some third-party tools to convert OLM file to PST
    file for Windows Outlook using.
    Personal suggestion, we can consider to create a new imap account acted as a transfer mailbox. To do it, please follow:
    1. Create a new IMAP account, such as a Hotmail.com account.
    2. Configure the Hotmail account in your Outlook 2011 for Mac and import the exported OLM file to this account.
    3. The imported data file will synced to IMAP account in mail server. We can login to the Web mail page to double check it.
    4. If the data has been synced complete in Hotmail mail server, we can configure this Hotmail account in your Outlook for Windows. Then all mailbox data can be download to the local Outlook in Windows machine.
    5. Now, we can drag the messages from this Hotmail account to your main account. Or we can export Hotmail mailbox to PST file for other Windows Outlook using.
    Additionally, here is a similar thread about your issue:

  • How can I change email address on my ICloud account?  It won't let me change old e-mail address.

    How can I change email address on Icloud?  It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

    Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
    You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a General Failure box stating 'The system cannot find the file specified' yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a box stating
    General Failure. The URL was "http:// etc etc".The system cannot find the file specified.
    Yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.

  • How do I delete emails? When I try to delete a message comes up saying unable to move to trash.

    How do I delete emails? When I try to delete a message comes up saying unable to move to trash.

    There are a few things that you could try. First try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And if the above don't work then try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • How can I change Country/Region when I still have store credit balance?

    I registed an iTunes account when I lived in Japan and I used Prepaid Card to redeem Japanese Yen to account (Country/Region=Japan). I have 60Yen in account now, this amount is smaller than cheepest apps (cost 85Yen).
    Right now, I came back to Vietnam and want to change Country/Region and  to continue purchase apps in Apple Store:
    - When I change Country/Region, I received error message "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.". But I couldn't spend money due to not enough money.
    - When I change Payment Type to Visa card, I received error message "You payment method is not valid in this Store. Please enter a new payment method."
    How can I change Country/Region when I still have store credit balance? Please help me solve this issue.

    You can't change your account's country when you have a balance on it. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

  • Change window size when clicking link?

    I recently converted a WinHelp project in RH5 that used
    secondary windows and I'm trying to stick with one window in
    HTMLHelp (and still learning a bit).
    In some parts of our app, pressing F1 opens a small window
    (not a popup) with a short description of a feature. There's a link
    at the bottom of the topic that will open a longer overview
    description. When clicking the link, I'd like to use the same
    window, but resize (make it wider) it to accomodate the bigger
    topic. In other words, I want the window to be narrow initially (so
    I don't cover the app) but change size when the link is clicked, so
    I can show the longer text without scrolling multiple pages.
    Do you folks do anything like this?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    - Tom

    Tom -
    You could always use the ResizeTo function in your larger
    topic, something like this:
    <body onLoad="window.resizeTo(400, 500);">
    Or, something like that....

  • How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?

    How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?
    We have a legacy app that used drive letter 'Q' already, now the newer machines are coming in with 'Q' preassigned to Microsoft Office Click to Run, and it is causing problems.  There has to be a way to change the drive letter assignment to some
    other letter besides 'Q' 

    Hi,
    Office that is delivered by Click-to-Run is installed on the Q drive, this cannot be changed.
    To work around this problem, uninstall the Click-to-Run version of Office and then install with the traditional MSI-based installation.
    To switch to using an MSI-based Office edition, you can learn something useful from this link below:
