Default Program For Email With Mac

Posted on by

The default mail program is the software that is registered with your operating system as the software that is to handle mailto URL's. When another application wants to send an email, it looks up the default and passes the email to the default mail program.

Unfortunately, you cannot set the Gmail web interface as your default email program in Windows Vista. You can set up Gmail in an email program such as Windows Mail, though, and thus send from your Gmail address by default. IT4577 is kinda right, but wrong too The default program does not import PST files. You will have to use Outlook 2011 for mac to at least import the pst file or use outlook on a windows machine. Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch There are two ways you can set up an email account in the Mail app on your iOS device—automatically or manually.

Use the following steps to change the default mail program in Mac OS X:

  1. Open the Mail application from the Applications folder.

  2. Click on the Mail menu and select Preferences...

  3. Click the General button. If you don't see the General button, click on the small oval in the upper right corner to reveal it.

  4. Select a new default mail program from the Default Email Reader menu (e.g. Thunderbird, Entourage).
