# How To Setup Default Mail Settings In System

> Configure your default mail application settings on Windows, macOS, and Chrome to work with Statisfy email links.

## **For Windows 10/11 (Using Outlook Desktop App)**

1. **Open Settings**\
   → Press `Windows + I` or go to **Start > Settings**

2. **Go to Apps**\
   → Click **"Apps"** then **"Default apps"**

3. **Set Default Email App**

   * Scroll to **"Email"**

   * Click the current default (probably "Mail" or "Google Chrome" if Gmail is set)

   * Choose **Outlook** from the list

***

## **For macOS**

1. Open the **Mail app** (the built-in Apple Mail, not Outlook)

2. Go to **Mail > Settings (or Preferences)** from the top menu

3. In the **General** tab, find **"Default email reader"**

4. Choose **Microsoft Outlook** from the dropdown

***

## **For Web-Based Email (e.g., Gmail in Chrome)**

If Gmail is opening when you click mailto: links in a browser like Chrome, you need to change the handler:

### In Google Chrome:

1. Open **Outlook Web App** (`https://outlook.office.com`)

2. Click the lock 🔒 icon next to the address bar

3. Go to **Site Settings**

4. Find **"Handlers"** and make sure it's **Allowed**

5. Now open **Gmail**, click the handler icon 🔧 in the address bar (if it shows), and **disable Gmail as default**

***

## **If Using Outlook Web (and want it as default)**

Browsers don’t support Outlook Web as the default handler by default, but you can use an **extension**:

### Use Chrome Extension:

* Add **"Mailto: for Outlook"** or **"Outlook Mailto Handler"** from Chrome Web Store

* This will route `mailto:` links to Outlook Web
