"If you are like me, you probably prefer to use an email application other than Apple’s Mail on your Mac. This tip will show you how to change the system setting that tells the Mac OS what email application to use as your default.

Why would you need to change the default email application in Mac OS X? Well, for starters, it makes it possible to click a link to an email address in your Web browser and create a new email message using your preferred email client. In addition, other applications ask the Mac OS what application they should use when they need access to an email client, for whatever reason. If you want to make your life easier, change the system setting that controls all this, so you aren’t frustrated when the time comes.

To change the default mail client, you will need to launch Apple’s Mail application. Once it’s running, click Mail -> Preferences, and then click the “General” tab. Click the popup menu labeled “Default Email Reader”, and select the email application that you prefer to use. If the app you want isn’t in the list, you can try searching for it by selecting “Select…” from the menu. This will bring up a dialog where you can select the application from your Applications folder. Once you are done, close Mail Preferences, and then you can close Mail.

This is all fairly easy, but I dislike the idea that I should have to go into an Apple application to set system-wide defaults such as this one. This tip will work in both Panther and Tiger (OS X 10.3 and 10.4, respectively), but earlier versions used a preference panel in System Preferences to set the default email app."

 

1) Open Apple Mail
2) Open Mail->Preferences
3) Go to General
4) The first item is "Default Mail Reader"

 

Cannot work? Mail does not check your Groupwise server until you enter its URL into your account settings. You can setup any of your other accounts in Mail. Then you are free to use it to change your default email to whatever you want.

 

Out of curiosity...did your company DECIDE not to support IMAP or POP on your Groupwise server? Groupwise certainly does support those standards. Perhaps not perfectly...but by and large.
