HT2506 How to set outlook as the default mail client for Preview

When I try to us Preview to email PDFs the Apple Mail client is the default mail client that opens. I use Lion and would like to set Outlook as my default. Does anyone know how to do this? It has been suggested that you click command-P, select PDF and add Outlook there but there are no options to do this. I am stuck and would like some help. I am using outlook:mac2011 version 14.1.4 and Preview 5.5.1
Cheers

I did not find a way to change the target application for the "New Email with Attchment" service for files and folders. However, you can follow this instruction here to create ANOTHER service, that will use Outlook: http://www.officeformachelp.com/2010/11/create-a-service-to-attach-files-to-a-ne w-outlook-for-mac-mail-message/
Hope this helps. Sebastian.

    I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail.  However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook.  Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.  

  • Set Microsoft Outlook as the default mail client.

    Every time I am trying to sync my calendar, notes and mail account with my iPhone through iTunes I keep getting a notifactions saying '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'.
    The problem is that Outlook IS the default client.
    Why can iTunes not complete this task for me...
    Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Build 14.0.4536.1000 64-bit.
    Thanks.

    I'm getting this and it's really annonying. The Nokia PC Suite provided a basic but functional PC calendar. Surely there's a simple PC client for the iPhone Calendar somewhere. I use Outlook Express and started using Outlook 2002 to manage my calendar but since a recent iTunes upgrade it's stopped working, giving this "default mail client" error. When I set Outlook to be the default mail client it made no difference.
    Apple - you've scored an own goal here. Something that did work now doesn't work, and the only thing that's changed is your software.
    I don't doubt it's down to compatability with M$ Outlook Add-ins, but they've not changed.

  • Office 2013 Pro - Error Message - I cannot set Office 2013 as the default mail client

    I have a number of PCs on a single domain in the same office all running Windows 7 Pro.  Some at 64 bit and some are 32 bit depending on their age.
    My issue is that on upgrading from Officer 2010 Pro to Office 2013 Pro, the only application I have a problem with is Outlook 2013, and only on the 64 bit machines.   The upgrade on 32 bit machine goes perfectly.   On both I install the
    32 bit version of Office 2013 as per the MS notes.
    When the 64 bit machines reboot and the user logs on I get the message, sometimes twice:
    Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfil the message request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
    OK, so this should be straight forward:
    I set outlook at the default mail client and associate all file with it from Outlook\File\Option.  Nope.  That does not work.
    I go through default programs and set the default mail client as Office 2013 and associate all file with it from Outlook.   Nope.  That does not work.
    I check the registry and it shows that the 64 bit or 32 bit reversion is the default mail client.  So that does not help.
    I install the 64 bit version instead of the 32 bit version. Nope.  That does not work.
    I clean the registry and temp file.  Nope.  That does not work.
    I set a new mail profile for the user. Nope.  That does not work.
    Odd that it only upgrades smoothly on the 32 bit machines.   
    Has anyone got any ideas?   All the suggested fixes on this forum do not fix this issue.

    Hello.
    Same problem, nothing Works!!!
    Help please, really frustrated and angry.
    Added written above   I tried:
    Uninstalled with the Microsoft fix uninstall
    and reinstall. This does not work.
    Contact the phone technical support. This
    does not work.
    Addin,s does not work. Adobe, iCloud Addin ....  does not work.
    'Send email to'   menu   does not work.
    No application communicates with
    Outlook, no Microsoft  or third  apps.
    I can only send and receive emails
    from within Outlook.
    This program is lousy, any
    possibility that my money back.
    Thanks

  • Send file as email not working when Outlook 2013 is default mail client

    Have Adobe Reader XI 11.0.2 installed.  Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with Office 2013 installed.  When I set Default E-mail Application to Microsoft Outlook from Preferences I receive the following error trying to send any file as an e-mail:
    "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 toggled Microsoft Outlook 2013 off and back on as the default e-mail handler in the Default Programs of the Control Panel, but this has not resolved the issue.
    I am guessing this may be a new bug since Outlook 2013 only recently came out, but if not, and someone has a fix, please let me know.
    Thank you,
    - Brian

    Please try the steps mentioned at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813745 and check whether the issue is resolved or not.
    If not, then try starting the outlook in safe mode using (Outlook.exe /safe) and check the issue again.
    Hopefully, these will resolve your issue.

  • "Attach to Email" option launches outlook rather than default mail client

    The "Attach to Email" option luanches outlook rather than Seamonkey, which is set to be the default mail client.  Any ideas regrding fixing this would be most appreciated.  This is Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO v. 9.0.0 running on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium 4.0 GB machine.
    Thanks,

    Not sure but this might be a Windows Control Panel Issue.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to configure Outlook 2010 as the Default Mail client if it is presented to the Desktop via RemoteApp?

    I am a user of RemoteApps. I connect to a Website that presents me with various applications, include Outlook 2010. however, I use other programs that I need to send mail from that are in within the RemoteApp workspace. Is it possible to configure windows
    7 to map a call to RemoteApp/Outlook2010 to send mail as a default mail client? or Perhaps a way to get OWA to map as a default mail client handler?
    I am using Windows 7 SP1 - Updated to latest service releases, Outlook 2010 from RemoteApps, and IE 11.
    Thank you in advance!

  • 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.

  • HT4864 How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail?  It's grayed out.

    How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail?  It's grayed out.
    I ask this because I have suddenly stopped receiving most e-mails in Mail.  I've found that my incoming mail server (p01-imap.mail.me.com) is different from what the Apple mail setup assistant recommends (mail.me.com), but I cannot change it because it is grayed out.  Any ideas?

    I'm afraid that AFAIK you've gone through the card. You could try Support, though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • When clicking on an email address in a website, and Yahoo web mail is the default mail client, the TO address is prepended with the "mailto:" tag, and of course bounces. Why and what to do about it?

    In a website, when an email link is clicked, the "mailto:email@address" tag is called, which opens the default mail client.
    A friend has Yahoo web mail as his default mail client. When he clicks on such an email link in a website, the TO address appears in the new email form prepended with the "mailto:" tag, as in mailto:[email protected] This of course bounces.
    I don't use web mail, so can't help him, but maybe you can provide a reason or a cure for this. Thank you.

  • How to Get Outlook 2010 RDA or OWA as the Default Mail handler for Windows 7

    I use remote desktop apps which is my primary method of using Outlook 2010. however I use many applications in Windows 7 that I need to be able to send email from. Logic tells me the Default Mail application MIME needs to be mapped. However I do not show

    Is there a way to fix this?

  • Lion, Mail, and Outlook. I can't get preferences in Mail to accept Outlook as the default mail program. Outlook works fine within the Office world but not with Preview or Lightroom (to choose two that I've tried today). Any ideas?

    As per the heading, I can't get Lion to accept Outlook 2011 as the default mail program. When I go through the Preferences in Mail to set the detault mail program, I can see Outlook, I can select it, but it doesn't "stick." As soon as I reopen Mail, Mail is the defailt mail program again. It also doesn't work though the Outloook Preferences menu. I'm a recent transfer to Macs, and could use some help. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    There is a forum specifically for MS Office for Macs, just click Office for Mac Product Forums and post there, they should know.
    If for some reason you don't want to do that you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support, this might be a good time to use it. You can find the number in your owners manual.
