I want thunderbird to run in the background when i call the default email client

I have software that sends emails out for reports. The software calls the default mail client (Thunderbird) and sends the email. However this opens Thunderbird and gets in the way. Is there anyway that this could send the email without opening Thunderbird? Can it run in the background like outlook express? It needs to close after email is sent.

  • Is there a way to force href="mailto: to use the default email client

    I would like to use the href="mailto:" in my website to automatically open an email but the end user gets the message "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action..."
    Is there a way to force to the mailto to use the and user's default email client?
    Thank you for your help

    Hi James -
    That is the default behavior of browsers when handling the mailto link.
    Please keep in mind that nearly half of website visitors do not have an email client as they are using mobile devices or public computers or web-based email like Gmail, MSN mail etc.
    Please don't feed the spambots. Best practice is to use an HTML "form" in conjunction with a server-side forms processing script. Ask your hosting provider if they provide one for you.

  • How do you change the default email client (Mail) to Outlook when sharing?

    In iPhoto I used Outlook as the default email to forward photos to friends.  How do you change it from Mail in Photos to Outlook?

    I am having the same problem.
    Just updated to OS X 10.10.3.
    The new Photos app will not link to Microsoft Outlook.
    Never had this problem with previous versions of iPhoto.
    I have a thread going on this topic:
    The new "Photos" will not link to Outlook email.
    Apple needs to update Photos 1.0.

  • How do I change the default email client from Thunderbird to Gmail in FF 3.6.17?

    Using Mac, OS 10.6.7 and Firefox 3.6.17
    When I click on an email address link, Thunderbird launches, but I want always to use Gmail. How do I change the email client from Thunderbird to Gmail?

    THANK YOU SO MUCH, Tony!
    I knew it had to be pretty simple...I just couldn't find the exact location to make the change. Now done. What a relief!!!

  • Gmail keeps opening as the default email client. I tried to change to Outlook, but it isn't accepting the change

    When I click on an email link in a website, Outlook used to open. Recently however, Gmail is opening instead. I tried to change the settings in tools, options, applications and it says Outlook is my client.
    I also went to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set program access and defaults and chose Outlook, but it keeps resetting to use existing program.
    I realize the second solution I tried isn't a Firefox issues, but I wanted you to know what I have tried to get Outlook back as my email client.
    I use Windows XP, service pack 3

    I see you have Google Toolbar installed. In the Google Toolbar Options dialog, on the Search panel there is an option to use Gmail, make sure it is not selected.

  • Can the default email client on iPad download email with attachments?

    I have configured Apple iPad with Exchange 2007. Emails get downloaded without any issues. However the attachments sent along with the emails get downloaded only when you click on them. This can hamper Offline Work. Lets say in airport, we download all emails and then put the iPad in flight mode. When we click on any attachment which has been sent with the email, the attachment shall not open since it has not been downloaded.
    Can we configure the Mail Client on iPad to download attachments always? If not, is there any third party app which allows for downloading of email with complete attachments?

    It's actually default setting in EAS that seems to be causing this for our end users (Maximum Attachment Size:  500KB - anything larger than this, you have to click download full).  You can customize these default settings for individual users or groups of users on the server side.

  • How do I STOP thunderbird from being the default mail client?

    I recently upgraded my version of thunderbird and it has decided it is to be my default email program. This is really annoying. I use thunderbird for 1 email account and all other email accounts are handled by MS Outlook 2010.
    How do I tell thunderbird it is NOT the default email program?

    From the Menu Bar select '''Tools-Options-Advanced-General'''
    Under System Integration uncheck the box to always check to see if Thunderbird is the default.
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.
    Then tell Outlook it is the default.

  • Thunderbird doesn't work as default email client when sharing pdf attachments. Works fine if Mail is the default client

    With Tbird set as the default email client, whenever I try to email the pdf, a message pops up that the default client can't handle sending the attachment. It works all the time if the native Mac Mail software is the default client..
    This forces me to save the pdf file, go to Tbird to send a message and then have to find the file in the folder structure to add as an attachment.

    My PDF software is Adobe Acrobat. So what is wrong with your Thunderbird software I must ask!

  • How to create MAC JNI call to launch the native email client

    How to write JNI code to call native default email client on MAC OSX and add attachment in that email client. Thanks plz help in this regard.

    Which suggests that you want to open the actual email client, rather than using java itself to send the email.
    However it doesn't answer why.
    At any rate that requires the following.
    1. A platform specific way to run the email client. If you can't figure out how to do this from the command line (nothing to do with java) then you can't do it in java.
    2. A way to manipulate an application that is running. The Robot package is intended for that. It might or might not do it. If not then you would need to find or create something else to do this.
    3. Custom scripts for each possible email client which is fed into part 2 to make it do something.
    Obviously a lot of work especially the last as that part might vary not only by vendor by also by version and user configuration.

  • I installed iWork11 but the '09 versions of the software are still running--and the default. What do I need to do to get the '11 versions working?

    I installed iWork11 but the '09 versions of the software are still running--and the default. What do I need to do to get the '11 versions working?

    It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
    If space is an issue... use an external disk.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Aattach as email option in Acrobat X Standard doesn't send to the default email address in Outlook

    I am running Microsoft Office 2010 Proffesional + and in Outlook I have two separate (not aliases) email accounts that are attached to the same .pst file.
    When I open a pdf file with Adobe Acrobat, and try to "Attach to Email", Adobe opens up Outlook and creates a new message like it's supposed to, but it does not select the default email account as the sending account.
    I've tried removing the secondary account and then re-creating as new, but I still get the same result. I also created a new profile and configured both email accounts but didn't worked. BTW i have installed the most recent updates for both OS (Win 7)and Acrobat
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry totally my fault - no issue at all... more a problem with the tester! users with an external email address are receiving the email it just seems when the email is sent from Apex standalone is appears in the inbox but when it is sent from within an iframe it is sent straight to the junk mail by the email client... still a little strange there is a difference in behaviour but at least it doesn't totally fail as I first thought.
