different default email for safari

I want to use a different email account than my primary for any internet links I send. How to I tell Safari to use Gmail instead of my regular email account anytime I want to share a page from the Safari File/Share/Email this page option?

iMac, macOS Sierra 10.12.5, Safari 10.1.1

As per this article : Set the default email app or web browser on your Mac - Apple Support

When you click a link for an email address or website, your Mac opens the app you've set for that kind of link.


Mail is the default email app and Safari is the default web browser on your Mac. If you install other email apps or web browsers, you might want to set them to open when you click an email link or web link.

How to set a default email app

  1. Open the Mail app.
  2. If you haven't already set up an email account in Mail preferences or Internet preferences, follow the onscreen instructions to set one up now.
  3. From the Mail menu, choose Preferences.
  4. Click General.
  5. Choose your email app from the ”Default email reader” pop-up menu.
