I cannot fix the settings correctly to make sure that Thunderbird is my default email setting. I have a program that I can set to attach documents to go directly to email so that I don't have to save and attach. I had it working but now it wants to open outlook instead of Thunderbird and I cannot figure out how to change it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you! Dianne

Check if Thunderbird is set as default.

Assuming you are using Thunderbird version 68* Menu app icon > Options > Options > Advanced > 'General' tab Under 'System Integration' Select checkbox 'always check to see if Thunderbird is the default mail client on startup' Click on 'check now'

If using Windows 10 In search type: default select 'Default apps' for Email: select Thunderbird

If this is already set up as default then check the registry as follows.

Please check registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\Mail

  • In Windows search type: Run
  • Select 'Run' app
  • type: regedit
  • click on OK
  • Locate this registry entry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\Mail
  • on right side double click on 'Default'
  • In 'Value Data' type: Mozilla Thunderbird
  • click on OK
