Windows does a lot of things and you can decide a thousand different settings and configurations adaptable to the personal needs of each user, however, if you have forgotten something at Microsoft and then you have to put a piece in it. One of these shortcomings is that of being able to easily decide, with a clear group of options, which e-mail client to use as default to send files, images, documents.
The problems that I try to resolve in this post are therefore related to the sending by email of files from the desktop and the sending of links or images taken from the internet always via email.
Practically I am referring to when you right-click on a file on the Desktop and press " send to " and then, only on the browsers that allow it (Firefox and Internet Explorer), when you click with the right mouse button on a link or on an image on a website on the " send link by email " or " send to " button.
The annoyance is that, in these cases and every time you press an email address on the internet the interface of programs (perhaps) not used like Microsoft Outlook or the old Outlook Express opens.
How can I get my favorite email client to open automatically>> best free email clients) how can I manage them without having to open them manually?
If you are using web mail services such as Outlook.com, Gmail or Yahoo mail how can you make sure that the new message opens on these online e-mail services?
To change, on Windows, the default e-mail program you have to go to the Control Panel, to the internet options (not to the e-mail options) in the programs tab, choose, from the drop-down menu, the program to use when you press, from desktop and from windows windows, the buttons " send to recipient mail ".
This also applies to internet explorer when you right-click on an image and " Send image by e-mail " appears.
It can also be set from the " Application Installations " window from the control panel, by clicking on " program access settings ".
Setting Gmail as the default client on Windows and Mac PC is really simple because not only can you open the "Send mail to" or "Mailto" links from the browser on Gmail, but with Chrome you can also enable the reception of notifications from Gmail so to be notified when a new message arrives, even without having Gmail open.
To do this, simply authorize Gmail to send notifications to the desktop.
The management of notifications in Chrome is done from the settings menu, pressing on show advanced settings -> Content settings "Privacy" -> Notifications -> Manage Exceptions .
In this guide all the ways to manage notifications on PC, smartphone and Mac.
With Gmail you can also improve the interaction with emails by receiving pop-ups and sounds when new messages arrive thanks to the Gmail Checker extension.
To configure a webmail service such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo Mail as default, just activate the receipt of notifications and the possibility to open the mailto link in Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
