Error 10673

If I click on a link in Apple Mail I get error -10673. I can right click and use the Open With to open the link.

This happens on my 2015 15" MacBook Pro. I don't have the same problem on my 2021 13" MacBook Pro.

Both are at Version 12.1

Does the problematic computer have more than one Browser installed ?

What has been set as the Default Browser ?

To verify System Preferences >> General

What solved the problem for me was changing the default email reader in the Mail application (Mail->Preferences->General) back to mail. For some reason, it was selecting Microsoft Edge as default. Doing this removed the error message and I was able to click email links in my Mail app. Hope it works for you too.

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

What worked for me is resetting the default mail app setting in Mail > Preferences > General.

I'm Mac standard all the way, so mine was set to Mail.app. I just set explicitly set it to Mail.app again, and the problem went away. I noticed that the date of the mail app is 2/6/2022, so an update may be what kicked this off.

There is a simple solution i found yesterday for error 10673. First i open my browser, google Chrome. In second place i open my mailbox and when i click on any item it opens immediately. When I do it other way around I get code 10673 but after a while, a few minutes, even without reboot its working normally . I tried it several times and its always working when i open the browser first.

I have this problem since mid januari I think

I have MacBook pro with version 12.1 Monterey.

Have a nice day

I'm having this same problem, but just for the past week or so. I'm using a 1-year-old iMac. It never happened before, and now it happens nearly every time I try to open a link from an email. If the solution is to use Safari, that's really not ideal. There are many good reasons why I use Chrome as my default browser. There has to be a better solution than using Safari. Sometimes it clears up if I restart my computer, but that's also not the best solution. If it's only been happening for the past week, something is wrong that I hope Apple will fix.

I am using Firefox and it is set as my default browser. This error just started this morning... Are you saying that I have to use Safari to get around this? I hope Apple isn't trying to improve usage of their browser!

Welcome and Thank you for double checking.

Do come back to the ASC Forums, in the future, if / or when additional question may arise

Check you Proxy Setting in Network >> Proxies

It's very inconvenient, but you can get past this problem by re-booting. Makes no sense, but it works for me. I use Firefox. Apple is trapping us in Safari -- not the worst case scenario, but for those of us who have history on another program really need to be able to stay there! Apple, be ashamed.

I have this problem as from today 10/2/2022 on my Mac pro 11.6.2 update.

I cannot understand you solution. What is the right click and what is the open key

in my email clicking on the link dose not open the site.

Could you be more clear , please

That is interesting solution. I had to change my Home browser from Opera to Safari and it is working ever since. But I wanted to use Opera for my research on internet and Safari for ebay only . Now I have lost that convenience. This problem started since the latest OS Apple upgrade . The big brother is trying to control the user !?

I have MacBook Pro OS 11.6.2

I have had this problem many times over. I finally found the quick way to fix it that works every time. I have sent google a response, but it does not look like they care to fix it or acknowledge it.

The easy fix:

Close chrome.

delete the file in your ~library ".com.google.chrome.savedState"

reopen chrome

Make sure you still have chrome as your default browser than your links will work until it something happens to corrupt the savedState file again.

iMac päivitys 12.3 version jälkeen tuli minullakin tuo -10673 virhegoodi, käytän Firefoxin selainta. Sain tuon virheen pois niin että laitoin oletus selaimeksi Safarin ja vaihdoin sen sitten takaisin Firefoxiin.....virhegoodi poistu.
