[edit]

Can I use a different mail program with Mozilla?

Windows, Macintosh:

To make Mozilla use another mail program, type about:config in the browser's Location Bar. Right-click (control click on Mac OS) and choose New | Boolean.

Type network.protocol-handler.external.mailto for the name and true for the value.

This will open the system default mail program when you click on an e-mail link in Mozilla.

GNOME, KDE (Unix/Linux):

This is not yet possible in GNOME or KDE, but work is in progress to make Mozilla for Unix compliant with the X Desktop Group Standard as it is finalized.

''See Default mail client for techniques that can work for GNOME and KDE.''
