Dec 05, 2019 Mail client. In order to change the default mail client, you need to open the Mail app. Don’t worry if you do not have any email account set up. Once the app is open, go to its preferences (tap Command+,). On the General tab, there’s a dropdown called ‘Default email reader’. Open it, and select a different email client. Dec 04, 2016 The Spark email app (by Readdle) for iOS is awesome. On a Mac it's just as awesome. At the time of writing this, it didn't automatically 'ask' you to choose it as a default email reader - here's.
I've been trying to change the default email application on my Macbook Pro unsucessfully.
I'm using Outlook 2016 on my Mac and would like to use it for all my email as I use Safari to login to my personal web mail. On Yosemite I would open Mail, go to Preferences and change the Default Email Application in the menu to Outlook. I can do that on El Capitan but as soon as I close preferences and open it again the setting is back to Mail.
On older versions of Outlook you could open the app and go to preferences and check a box there to set it as the default mail app but that setting seems to have been removed.
Has anyone else experienced this?
