Default mail app keeps reverting to mail.app

I prefer to use Airmail 2.5 as my email client. I've gone into mail.app numerous times to change my default email reader to Airmail 2.5


I select it. I quit mail.app - and then I relaunch mail.app, and lo and behold, the default email reader is showing once again as mail.app


Any ideas on what's going on or how to make mail.app remember my preference here?


All software up to date, OS X 10.11

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Although the problem is not the same, please follow the instructions in this support article to reset the Launch Services database. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before proceeding. You may have to log out or restart to see a change.
