#MAKE OUTLOOK MY DEFAULT MAIL CLIENT WINDOWS 7 ANDROID#
Even on the gmail app in the android tablet, it maintains separation between my accounts so each has to be worked with independently.Ĭ) an email client provides a single unified consistent interface to all of my email accounts, allowing me to work with all of them in one place. Why? Because:Ī) I hate and detest the gmail UI in a web browserī) gmail let you log in to only one account at a time, so it's tedious to service multiple gmail accounts. I also use the general email app on my tablet and phone, not the built-in gmail app. I use a smartphone, and a tablet and I still use Thunderbird when I can. Note that uninstalling Thunderbird leaves its profile intact, so if you need or want to reinstall Thunderbird, the current profile should be picked up and used automatically.
You could uninstall Thunderbird just to see what happens in the absence of an email client (though I'd be surprised if Windows Live Mail or similar wasn't waiting in the wings for its moment of glory) - maybe then the Windows Default Application setting would invite a browser-based email handler. And this takes us back to the mysterious checkbox that won't stay clear. Sheesh, it has to work something like that simply for all those out there who only ever use gmail via the Chrome browser.Īfter that, the concern may be that if Thunderbird can't see a legitimate email app to compete with, it will assert itself, and if so, it would be very disappointing if we can't get Thunderbird to stop checking if it is the default app. Maybe you can add that in as a command line argument when setting the default mail app. I'm not sure how that works, since it needs to know a webpage too. I think your options are to try the registry hack (but we don't know if or how it will work when the preference is removed) or to see if your browser can be made to be the default email app.
