I've been trying to change the default email application on my Macbook Pro unsucessfully.

Apple is considering letting users change default email, browser, music apps in iOS The plans are not final, but they would make for a radical change in strategy. Samuel Axon - Feb 20, 2020 11:33. Dec 21, 2018  To set your favorite email client as the system-wide default, head to Settings Apps Default Apps. Then in the right panel under the Email section, you will see it is set to the Mail app. Oct 29, 2019  If you look at the screenshot of your Passwords & Accounts page in Settings you will see that Mail is not listed under Exchange. Tap on Exchange and toggle Mail on. You should then be able to select your Exchange account as your default Mail account. Posted on Sep 18, 2019 8:11 PM.


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.

Your default mail reader is what's used when you're browsing a web page and share it via email with a friend or colleague, or mail it to yourself for further reading. The Mac default is to use the Mail app, but you can change the default to Outlook. Open Finder Applications. First, open the default Mail app (sorry for that) and click on Mail Preferences in the upper menu. Once there, switch to the ‘General' tab and click on ‘Default Email Reader'. Now you can choose the app you would like to be the default one for managing emails. Open mail, get to preferences (you may need to create a mail account, a test iCloud mail will do) make outlook the deafult email reader.

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.
