If you’re using Window 10, you already noticed that it uses a new Mail app as the new default e-mail client. Chances are you’re not a big fan of the new default email app, so it can become annoying to be directed towards it everytime you click an e-mail link (MailTo). If your Outlook is not recognized as the default mail client, we’ve prepared two different methods that will enable you to set it as your default e-mail client. Both methods will achieve the exact same thing, so follow the one that seems more convenable for you.
Method 1: Setting Outlook as the Default mail client from Control Panel
That’s it! Outlook is now configured to be the default email client. Now, when you click an email link (MailTo), it will automatically be opened in Outlook.
Method 2: Setting Outlook as the default mail client via Settings
Depending on your Outlook version, the following steps might be a little different. We used Outlook 2016, but if you’re using an older version, please refer to the Note paragraphs for the exact path. That’s it. Outlook is now configured to handle all your E-mails, contacts and calendars.
