Guest Gary VanderMolen Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Re: default mail not working Mish, Windows Mail can be the default email client, yet not have all applicable protocols assigned to it. To do so: Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item: "Set your default programs." After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Windows Mail". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults" then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP@gmail.com> wrote in message news:O8Cc8cS3IHA.1808@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Why in the world are you posting about this in a WinXP newsgroup? > > Forward to Vista Mail newsgroup via crosspost. > -- > ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) > MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 > AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net > DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ > > > mish wrote: >> Im running vista with windows mail i can send and recieve e-mails, but >> when >> i click on a link in an e-mail i recieve, Could not perform this operation >> because the deault mail client is not properly installed, i have been into >> default programs and it is the default mail, everything was running fine a >> couple of days ago, but today its not working please help. >
