How to select Outlook desktop program as default email client
I have searched this online but every article I've seen ignores the fact that when I open the Apple Mail app, a window pops up asking me to "Choose a mail account provider ... " and the "Preferences" menu option is grayed out. (I suppose I can go ahead and set up something temporarily, but this seems like it should be unnecessary.)
If I close the pop-up window, the Apple Mail application closes entirely. I also tried right-clicking on an email address and looking for an info option, but I am not presented with that either. (I made the switch from Windows to Apple, but I'm still having some adjustment pain.)
Thanks for any tips anyone can provide!
