Mailspring not available as 'default mail client' option on Windows 10

Like the title says. I could have sworn I’d configured it as my default client, but it’s not there. Nor do I have the option to select it from a list of apps (only Windows store apps, because of course :persevere:). How can I fix this?

No, still awaiting instructions :frowning: I even tried modifying the registry

4

possibly no way to make it default which makes it a useless app

Remains to be an issue. Mailspring does not appear in ms-settings:defaultapps. On Windows Server 2016 in my case.

A few things to try:

  1. Re-run the latest installer from getmailspring.com — this re-registers protocol handlers and should add Mailspring to the Default Apps list
  2. Set via protocol: Search “Default apps” in Windows Start > scroll to “Email” > select Mailspring
  3. For mailto: links: Search “Default apps” > scroll down to “Choose default apps by protocol” > find MAILTO > select Mailspring

If re-running the installer still doesn’t help, please share your Windows version and we’ll look into the registration issue.
