The Default Mail Application tool lets you easily make Outlook the default mail application.
When to use the tool
Use this tool if you want Outlook to open a new email message when you click a
mailto: link in an email message or on a website. Selecting a
mailto: link opens the default email application. Outlook isn't the default email application until you change that setting.
How to use the tool
- Download and open the Default Mail Application tool.
- In the Default Mail Application dialog box, select com.microsoft.outlook, and then click Make Default.
- Exit the Default Mail Application tool.
