Mozilla - Mail & Newsgroups

Hi all, i was just wondering can i somehow disable the email client in Mozilla? The reason being is that everytime i want to send an email and i click on that email link it comes up with the Mozilla email client. I use Outlook Express as my defult mail client and i want to stay using it as well. Is there any way to stop Mozilla thinking that i use its own mail client, when in fact i use OE.

Cheers

Hi

in OE it would be 'tools' then 'internet options' then 'programs' tab, drop down the 'E-mail' list & set outlook express as the client, click 'apply' - re-boot - you need to do the equivalent in Mozilla.

You will have to be more specific on this. My brain has gone dead. How to disabe in Mozilla i mean.

I know

- but I don't run Mozilla, so I can't be more specific, there must be a similar 'internet properties' option in there, though?

- why don't you like the Mozilla e-mail client?

Maybe you can uninstall the email client from the Add/Remove programs dialog? If you can't, I don't think you can disable it within Mozilla.

Now, if I remember correctly, Mozilla will always use it's own email client if it is available, regardless of the default email client setting. Firebird doesn't have this problem (or a built in email client for that matter). So, you may be better of using Firebird.

Yes, use Mozilla Firebird. Mozilla (the suite) should only be used if you want to use all of it's components.

Sorted it now. I had to got to the Prefrences menu and the Mail & Newsgroups and disable everything in there.
