Q: change iOS default email

I am not finding updated information for IOS 8.4 on how to make my default email NOT Apple.


Every time I click on anything that generates an email address, I get a blank Apple Email screen.  I've also noticed that when I get the window that shows other programs I can choose to interact with, the email program I have is not showing up in the list.


Does anyone know how to make these 2 changes?


Thank you.

    I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do, if to change the default email account from which emails are sent then you can change that via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Account (that option will only show if you have more than one email account set up and active for the Mail app.

     

    If to change the default email app then you can't, it will be the Mail app.

    Actually, you answered both situations.

     

    I couldn't find Default because I didn't have both accounts built into IOS.

     

    Also, it doesn't matter because I can't change the from the Mail App...which was the other part of my question.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Every time I'm happy with Apple, I find little things like this that make me crabby.
