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

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.

Does the problematic computer have more than one Browser installed ?


What has been set as the Default Browser ?


To verify System Preferences >> General

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'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.
