Not sure what version of Outlook you are using, but imagine the steps are similar.<br />
<br />
This is for 2003.<br />
<br />
Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar &nbsp; <br />
<br />
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Other. <br />
<br />
Under General, select the Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar check box. <br />

Thanks to you both - I was using Outlook 2000, which I'm afraid didn't have that option.<br />
Sunray's suggestion took care of it :-)<br />
<br />
Thanks, your time is appreciated.<br />

I'm trying to import all my mail folders into Mozilla Thunderbird, but Outlook is telling me that it needs to be the &quot;default&quot; mail client to allow the export.<br />
I don't see any option in Outlook to set it as the default, because:<br />
<br />
a) It's buried in an obscure place.<br />
b) I made a mistake when switching coffee brands this morning.<br />
c) I work for the government and these types of problems are beyond my comprehension.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I'm trying to import all my mail folders into Mozilla Thunderbird, but Outlook is telling me that it needs to be the "default" mail client to allow the export.
I don't see any option in Outlook to set it as the default, because:

b) I made a mistake when switching coffee brands this morning.
c) I work for the government and these types of problems are beyond my comprehension.

Set Outlook as Default (for a minute or two...)

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.
