Firefox 'Read Mail'(under Tools)

CrowdedHouse · 2005-05-07 16:45:31

I recently changed from Outlook Express to Outlook 2003 for my mail program. Outlook 2003 is now my default.When I try 'Read Mail' under Tools in Firefox it still opens OE.I can't seem to find an option in Firefox to change it. Is there a way ? Not a big problem more curious really.(Works OK in IE,System is XP Home)

Have you tried setting your default mailer to Outlook 2003 in "set program access and defaults" (should be in your start menu somewhere)?

Try this utility. It changes your Default Mail Program.
