Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Install) unable to set Default Mail Client

After installing Office 2013 via Office 365 for Business, the installation is unable to set Outlook as the default mail client. Message appears after each system reboot:
"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."
When going into Control Panel and manually set the Outlook client as the default, the setting does not take. After a reboot, the warning message reappears.
Anyone else having the same issue?

No but then again it is a Beta. Did you clean install or update? 9926 seems to be relatively stable.

Opening a shared mailbox in Outlook 2013 (office 365) returns "Cannot Expand Folder" error.

Hi!
We've just upgraded from our old Domino email server to Office 365 E1 and running an on-premise Exchange 2013 hybrid server.
In Outlook 2013, when trying to expand a shared mailbox, It asks me to enter my outlook credentials. Trying so doesn't work and it continues to ask repeatedly. If I click cancel, I get the following error:
"Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available.
Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance."
The error only occurs in Outlook 2013 and it happens to all staff who are using Outlook 2013. Shared mailboxes are accessible in Outlook 2010 and OWA with no issues.
I have tried recreating profiles, removing and re-adding permissions, disabling auto-mapping. I've tested with creating shared mailbox in Exchange Online and on our hybrid server.

Hi,
Check if the kb below matches your scenario:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2992644
This problem occurs only when the following conditions are true:
You are using Microsoft Outlook 2013 client version 15.0.4641.1001.
The client is connected by using Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP).
To resolve this issue, apply the update that is described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
2889859
If you are using the Click-to-Run version of Office 2013, the Outlook application is kept up to date automatically. For more information about Office 2013 Click-to-Run updates, see
Microsoft Office 2013 Click-to-Run virtualization
I hope the information is helpful.

Sent emails, from replies, to email in Shared Exchange mailbox folders - Outlook 2013 - Office 365 Midsize Business

1. Outlook 2013 lets replies to emails from another folder than inbox wind up in that same folder.
Options - email - save - a checkbox
2. A registry setting lets email sent from shared exchange mailboxes wind up in the "sent objects" folder of that mailbox.

I need feature 1. to show up in the shared mailbox as well as the default mailbox. All my problems would be solved if I could have this behaviour in the inbox folder of the shared mailbox as well.
UniSent helped us with this on SBS2003 and Outlook 2003- 2007 but does the same trick as the registry setting in Office 2013.

Hi,
There is no build-in setting in Outlook to achieve this, you may try a code solution here:

Since we are not the best source for coding, if you need any assistance on the code sample, you can post a question in Outlook for Developers forum:

Problem Exporting Windows Live Mail 2012 To Outlook 2013 (Office 365 32 bit)

Hi-
When I try to export my WLM to Outlook 2013, it hangs at the same record every time (record 55 of 2600+ -- that's just one folder, but the largest folder.) I probably have 10,000 emails in WLM.
It does not seem to be taking the emails from oldest to newest, so I cannot tell which email is tripping it up. I assume if it only made it to #55 of 10k, there are many more hang up points as well. I was exporting all folders. I was able to export a single,
very small folder successfully (30 emails.)
I tried exporting just the large folder by itself but it still hung at #55.
Any help in diagnosing/fixing would be greatly appreciated. WLM is a nightmare -- I have been paying the price ever since OE went away. I want to be rid of it once and for all.
Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian,
First, I'd recommend you check if there are some large emails in the large folder. You can sort the emails by size to find those large emails. Then, just move these large emails to a subfolder and try exporting the rest emails into Outlook to see
the result.
In addition, we can use the following method to import as many as possible emails in the large folder into your Outlook:
1. In Windows Live Mail, create a subfolder under the large folder.
2. Move half of emails from the large folder to the subfolder.
3. Export the large folder and the subfolder separately into Outlook. This will help us determine which half part of the emails may hang the process.
4. Repeat above steps for the problematic half part of emails.
Since this issue is also related to Windows Live Mail, you can also post your question in the forum for Windows Live Mail to see if we can get any good suggestions:

Unable to set default mail account in iOS

I'm unable to choose my default mail account. I have two IMAP mail accounts configured. One of the two accounts was imported using a configuration profile supplied by the mail service provider. This worked well, except that iOS doesn't seem to recognise it for the purpose of defining a default mail account. I added a third mail account and now the default account option is displayed in Settings, but the drop-down list only shows two accounts, not the one imported via the configuration profile. Is this a bug?

Resetting the phone does not delete anything from the phone. Explain what you mean by "reset." Are you asking or telling us you can't reinstall mail accounts. What EXACTLY did you do?

How to set default mail client

I occasionally respond to a email address and Microsoft outlook express comes up instead of gmail, which I prefer. How can I keep Outlook from butting in?

Good news! It's really straightforward to make Firefox use Gmail instead of Outlook Express.
Could you please follow the instructions under the "Setting Firefox's mail client" section [[Change the program used to open email links|this article]] and let us know whether they do the trick?
Thanks,

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

Outlook 2013 set as default mail client but still shows error box saying it isn't?

We have recently installed Office 2013 64-bit on 4 servers. We previously used Outlook 2007 64-bit.
We set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client and do not have another mail client installed on the servers. However when you first login you get an error message box that says you have no default mail client 'either there is no default mail client or the
current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request'.
I have checked all defaults to be for Outlook 2013.
How can I solve this issue? I am an administrator.

Try different Method to set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client to check the result. Thanks.
Method 1:Set as default within outlook.
-File > Options > General Tab > select the "Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar"
check box.
Method 2: Set as default from the internet explorer.
-Tool > Internet Options > Programs Tab > Set programs
Method 3: Set as default from control panel.
1.Navigate to Control Panel\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
2.Click on the outlook icon on the left hand side.
3.Set as default.
We may also try to create anther windows user profile in the same machine to check if the issue still persists. Thanks.

Lync 2013 (Office 365) Voice Mail to Text

Environment: Lync 2013 (Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus)
Issue: When the voice mail ends up in outlook inbox, the transcription (voice to text) is very poor. Why?
Any idea what technology MSFT is using for transcription (the voice commands within the voice mail system work well, but the transcription is very poor)? Most large businesses use Dragon (by Nuance).
Hope MSFT fixes this or just drop the transcription function until it works properly.

That's actually pretty good. Here is one I received from Lync to Lync using Polycom CX600

App-V Office 2013/Office 365?

Hi,
In order to App-v Office 2013, apparently you need Office 365 ProPlus? How to get it, we do have Office 2013 ProPlus but that's not sufficient? Don't get what the difference is actually.
Note: we don't want to use Office 2013 click-n-run.
J.
Jan Hoedt
Note: the click-n-run doesn't give the option to mention you Exchange server, the junk folder used in Outlook etc., that's what we really need (just as the setup.exe /admin option in Office.

The difference between Office 365 ProPlus and Office Professional Plus 2013 is licensing only as the text you've quoted shows and as Rory has provided details on as well.
This is separate from how you deploy Office. With either Office 365 or Office 2013 you can choose to use a standard installation or the Office Deployment Tool (App-V). Office 365 also provides the Click-to-Run version which you download from the Office 365
site.
If you have licensed Office 365, but want to use the Volume License media, you may have to purchase the media separately (which is really a download from the Volume License site). You may be required to purchase the minimum of 5 VL licenses to get access
to the media, but check with a Microsoft licensing expert for clarification.
The only supported method of deploying Office 2013 / Office 365 with App-V is via the Office Deployment Tool. This means that you can't use the VL media (SETUP /ADMIN) to create a configuration and capture that with the Sequencer.

Project Pro 2013 and syncing with SharePoint Online 2013 (Office 365)

Good day,
I am experiencing some challenges with a Project Pro master project file and syncing to SharePoint 2013 (Office 365).
What works
Individual projects can be synced to SharePoint without issue. Once synced, the site start page presents the Project Summary gant, clicking the Tasks link takes me to the tasks. Project files are stored in the Site Assets directory in each SharePoint site
(one site per project file).
What doesn't work
When I create a new project (and sync it to a new site), then add two (2) existing project files that reside on SharePoint and then sync to the new master project site I
don't see any content in the Project Summary gant, nor do I see any tasks in the task list. I can't figure out if this is not supported or if I've done something wrong. There are no error messages or indicators that I've done something wrong,
short of the master project projects not showing up on the master project site (nothing in the project summary gant and no tasks).
Some help would be greatly appreciated. Being able to render a master project is crucial to understanding timelines for many projects in a single view.

Steven,
This is by design. Inserted Sub projects will NOT show in the Master Project Tasks list. You will only see tasks inserted directly at the Master Project Level.
Moreover, if you set up a dependency between Master project Task and Subproject task, then the sync will not work. All in all, there are limitations for this process, which is where Project Online/Project Server needs to be considered.
Cheers,

Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files. Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center?

Is Share point server 2013 and Share pointer Designer 2013 available in 32bit version? If not, then how to use it in 32 bit machine by using any VMs?
Thanks
Senthil

SharePoint Server 2013:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-sharepoint-collaboration-software-FX103479517.aspx
SharePoint Designer 2013:
Designer is used to develop SharePoint pages using HTML/CSS/JS as well as SharePoint Designer Workflows
Yammer:
https://about.yammer.com/
Windows Server is Windows, but the Server OS. SharePoint runs on top of supported Windows Servers editions (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx).
SharePoint Server is 64-bit only (trial:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973397.aspx), although Designer does have a 32-bit edition (full product:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491).
You will need the capability to run 64bit VMs. Minimum recommended all-in-one VM for SharePoint is to allocate 24GB of RAM, but you can get away with as little as 12GB (I wouldn't go below that). Because of this, it generally rules out 32bit OSes as a virtual
machine host.
