That way, both programs will gather your email.

One more question Will the association change once Outlook's the default? I plumb forgot that Office delivered Outlook, thanks for reminding me. If TB delivers mail again, I'm going to remove it and reinstall (need it for backup). Now if only it works the next time mail arrives. I did as suggested and clicked apply on my way out. I was in Outlook when the digest arrived.
Tick the check box to make Outlook the default e-mail client. Try the following (this assumes that you have already set up an e-mail account there): To make Outlook 2002 the default e-mail client, you do NOT want to change the association for. It works differently from Outlook Express and Thunderbird - all e-mail messages are stored in a single file, together with appointments, contacts, etc.
The only e-mail client that comes with Windows 7 is Windows Live Mail. HansV wrote:Gloria, Outlook 2002 is not "installed with Windows 7". make Outlook the default ( at least I hope it will). I'm temped to remove TB and hope that will auto.
I'm at a loss as to how to fix the settings and need some big time assistance (step-by-step) if you please. I make Outlook the default, but mail's still being delivered to TB. In IE8>Tools>Internet Options>Set your default programs. When I went to TB it's set to be the default for every thing and the ticks cannot be removed. Protocal: Mailto I've checked Outlook as the default and also for MAPI. eml is the default for Thunderbird, the WDSEML is also the TB default. I'm looking for the place to make the change, as usual with win 7, the place eludes me.I did find in control panel: Set your default programs>Set association for a program. I do need to set associations for Outlook, currently Thunderbird is associated with. I wonder if the version can be updated at no charge?
I've tried everything I know of to make the change but alas, no cigar. I would like to change that to Outlook 2002 (that installed with Windows 7). So if anyone else is getting this problem and none of the solutions are working, that's another option to try.Currently I have Thunderbird as the default email client. I reinstalled Office 2013 and can use Outlook again as normal, and everything works fine, and I no longer get that error popup.
I didn't even have to set up my account in Thunderbird, I just had to install it. It seems like Thunderbird is able to set itself to a default mail client in some part of the operating system that Outlook wasn't able to.
Next I tried installing Thunderbird (which is a free download), and let it temporarily pick itself as the defaults, and the error messages finally stopped popping up. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I finally tried uninstalling Office, and I still got errors, but the message now changed to "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. I tried setting Outlook as the default program everywhere, uninstall/reinstalling Office, I tried repairing Office, I tried resetting the registry key, I tried changing the default mail app to the built-in Mail, and none of those worked. The error message would pop up when I started the computer, and pop up again at random times during the day.
I had this "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request." problem for a while and couldn't figure it out (on Windows 10 with Office 2013). I'd love to get this nuisance issue out of my user's way. There was also a recommendation to set the bitness for Office 15 in regedit to 圆4.tried this even though I didn't expect it would work since we're using 32-bit Office 14. I also saw something suggesting to disable the Reader Speed Loader at startup. Then I started looking at other solutions, including setting up a different default mail service within Adobe Reader. Make sure Outlook 2010 is set as the default mail client (Worth noting: Lync 2013 aka Skype for Business is installed on the machine) One user experiencing this error message when he starts up and logs into his machine, also at seemingly random times during the day.Īdobe Reader DC (as I think Reader has something to do with this) Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
