How to Change the Default Email Client on Mac OS X

In Mac OS X, if clicking an email link in your browser launches the wrong application, you may be stumped as to where to set the preference for the app you want.

1. Launch Apple Mail (Mail.app) from the Applications folder.
* If you've not set up Mail, set up a dummy POP, IMAP, or Exchange account (it will try and verify, get an error, but still allow you to continue). Keep filling in information and hitting continue until you can get to the next step:

2. Go to Mail > Preferences in the menu.

3. Click on "General" tab.

4. In the "Default Email Reader" pull-down menu, choose Select, browse to the email client application you want to use, highlight it and click "Select".

5. Close the Preferences dialog box.
