How to set BlueMail as Default Mail Client

If you click an email link and the wrong email client pops up, you can easily change the default email app.

Here’s how to do it:

Windows 11:

  1. Open the Settings app by pressing Windows+i on your keyboard. Or you can right-click the Start button in your taskbar and select “Settings.”
  2. When Settings opens, click “Apps” in the sidebar, and then select “Default Apps.”
  3. In Default Apps, click the search bar and type BlueMail. When it appears, click its icon in the list below. (Or you can browse the list of apps and find it)
  4. On BlueMail's “Default Apps” settings page, click the button below “MAILTO.” This configures how Windows will open “mailto:” links.
  5. In the “How do you want to open this” window that pops up, select BlueMail to use as default for “mailto:” links, then click “OK.”

Windows 10:

  1. Open the Settings app by pressing Windows+i on your keyboard. Or you can right-click the Start button in your taskbar and select “Settings.”
  2. When Settings opens, click “Apps” in the sidebar, and then select “Default Apps.”
  3. Then in the right panel under the Email section, you will see it is set to BlueMail.
