    I have office 2010 installed.

    When I click on an email address on a website, I get "launch application" window, and in the box it has three options: thunderbird, yahoo! mail and Gmail but no outlook.

    How I can make out look my default email client?

    Under "choose an Application", I selected OUTLOOK.EXE I get this instead

    Try

    1. Tools
    2. Options
    3. Applications Tab
    4. Look in the list for "mailto"
    5. Probably says "always ask"; click in option and select "use microsoft outlook (default)"

    thanks. However I am still getting that "navigation to the webpage was canceled" outlook with the message box when I click the email address from firefox.

    When I click on email address using IE 9, it only shows message, how can I get firefox to do the same?

    Can you set the 'Default' e-mail program to Outlook? Hit the Orb, choose 'Default'.
