Setting entourage as default mail program

I have entourage and word. When I click send to email recipient I want entourage to pop up. Instead Mail pops up.
I went into the preferences--> general tab and changet the default email reader to entourage. That did not solve the problem. Any other suggestions?

Do you mean that you went to the Preferences in Mail, and then set the default mail reader to Entourage? Was Entourage running, or not? Quit Entourage, if not already, open Mail again, and repeat the preference change -- had the selected held in the Mail Preferences?
What type of account do you have -- POP, IMAP or .mac?
More info, please.

  • Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail which is already the default mail program which is already set as the default mail program

    Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail. Windows Live mail is already set as my default e-mail program.

    Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
    When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
    However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that resolve the issue for you?

  • Make Entourage default mail program for composing?

    Hey folks. I'm trying to get Entourage to be teh default mail program for composing mail as well as reading mail. I already set it to be default for reading mail from the Mail program, bt when I click a "send to" someone type link, Mail keeps popping up. How do I change that? Thanks.

    DrSupachicken,
    In Mail Preferences you can set your default mail reader to the preferred application. Which one is curently set as your default? I don't have Entourage installed so I Mail (3.5) is the only option. In your case you should be able to select either Entourage or Mail. Let me know if that helps.

  • How do I configure Entourage to be default mail program?

    After problems with the Mac Mail program, I have switched everything over to Entourage. I can't, however, figure out how to make it my default mail program. I'd like Entourage to open when I try and send an email from an internet site, but can't figure out how to switch from Mail opening to Entourage.
    I have set it as the default mail program in iPhoto already.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello, 
    Open Mail. Then Mail menu > Preferences... > General tab > "Default email reader:"

  • Change default mail program without setting up account

    I want to set a different mail application as my default, but my understanding is that you have to do that from within Mail on OSX. Every time I open Mail, it asks me to set up an account, but I don't want/need to set up an account, and I can't get to the prefs window (to change my default mail program) without setting up an account. Help!

    Hi, yes, that's one silly thing about OSX, one way around it is a Pref Pane called RCDefaultApp 2.1...

  • I can't find the mailto application in the tools menu. I want to make Gmail my default mail program

    I'm trying to set Gmail as my default mail program in Firefox. When I go to Applications, there is no "mailto" application and I'm unable to select Gmail for emails.
    Thanks

    Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    You can check the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.
    If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.

  • Read Mail button on the toolbar doesn't open my default mail program

    I've just reinstalled Firefox 17.0.1 (and everything else) following a crash. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, with Windows Mail (not Live Mail) set as the default email program and I've added a Read Mail button to the Firefox toolbar: all this is exactly as it was before the crash. Windows Mail is selected in Tools/Options/Applications/mailto, and also runs perfectly from its desktop icon.
    However, clicking on Read Mail doesn't open Windows Mail as it used to.
    I get the message "The application could not be found, please use Toolbar Buttons's options window to correct this". I'm not clear on what it is I'm being directed to do. What and where is the "Toolbar Buttons's options window"?
    Many thanks.

    That did it. Thanks very much indeed.

  • 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.

  • Default Mail Program and Mail

    Rather than Mail.app that came with my iMac, I want to use Thunderbird as my default mail program which I have set as such in Preferences in both Mail and Thunderbird.
    However, I keep receiving an occasional email in the Mail.app rather than in Thunderbird - and it doesn't even appear in Thunderbird but only in Mail.
    I would like to receive all of my email in Thunderbird rather than Mail. How can I make sure this will happen? Should I rename Mail.app to something else?
    I would appreciate any suggestions you may have; and also, if you have good reasons for this not to be done, please let me know in a kindly manner. Because I became use to using Thunderbird in my PC, I feel more comfortable with it and would like to continue using it.
    Thanks for your help.

    This doesn’t make sense. What you’ve chosen as the default mail program is irrelevant here.
    If Mail receives any messages, it has to be because (1) it’s running AND (2) it’s configured to automatically check for new mail AND (3) the accounts are configured to be included when automatically checking for new mail. It looks like you’re making it really hard for Mail to not download any messages...
    And except in the case of a Gmail account (which allows messages to be downloaded only once by POP mail clients), receiving a message in Mail should have no bearing on you being able to receive that message in any other mail client as well if Mail is configured with the default account settings...
    More info, please.

  • Changing your default mail program

    Not that I have anything against the Mac Mail program that came with my Mac, but does anyone know how to change the default mail program to MS Office Entourage? If I am on a website and I click a link to send an e-mail, it always brings up the Mac Mail program that I don't use. Thanks for any help you can give.

    River City Rat,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Open Mail and select Preferences...>General>Default Email Reader: (Choose Entourage).

  • How I launch mailto using outlook express, my default mail program.

    I have downloaded firefox browser for Win XP. I have a default mail program on my computer. I have checked and firefox recognizes it as default. How can I access it from the browser and can I set a bookmark? for quick access. Thanks

    #Right click the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop and go to Properties.<br><br>
    #Click the Programs tab and make sure it says "Outlook Express" in the Email menu.<br><br>
    #Close that and then in Firefox, press the ALT key to toggle the text menu links on (and off).<br><br>
    #Click File and then "Send Link".
    It should open OE with the link to whatever page you're on.

  • How can I set Entourage as default program to email pictures from Preview?

    I'm a PC-to-Mac convert and am really enjoying my iMac, except for a few little nuisances. Here's one:
    I have set Entourage as my default email program, both in (Mac) Mail and in Entourage. Everything works smoothly when clicking on an email link on a web page, or sending from iPhoto or from individual, open documents. But when I try to mail an image or a Photo Booth picture from Finder>Preview>File>Mail Image, it always opens Mail and not Entourage.
    There must be a way to set the default email program in Finder and/or Preview, but I sure can't find it and Apple support wasn't able to help much either. My experience is that users often know more than the experts, who are expected to know a little about a lot of varied topics. I've searched on this forum but can't find any reference to this exact situation. Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks!

    Kappy: I will send a bug report. Did you place your report in the Mac OS X software area?
    Peter: Of course, I can do what you suggested, and am. But, nothing irks me more than to have a slick, time-saving option like that but not being able to use it! Mac, in this instance, is acting a little like Microsoft in forcing me to use their programs exclusively!
    But, thanks to both of you for taking the time to reply.

  • Howdoi set default mail program in windows 7

    how do i set aol as y default mail in firfox windows 7?

    For aol.com, I found two posts that sound promising:
    (1) AOL feature to add itself to Firefox's list of mailto options:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/902877#answer-341438
    ''Note: It's possible that Firefox will display a bar requiring you to give permission to AOL to add something to your browser. I'm not sure from the description in the post.''
    (2) External program to redirect the link to the correct mail site:
    Check out the solution chosen in this thread and see whether that works for you: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/811498 AOL is not an option in mailto. How do I make AOL my default email. XP, FF4].
