Messenger no longer opens message window |
|
|
When a Messenger contact is offline, I right click and select Send
Email. In the past, a new message window would open for me to write the
message. Outlook opens if it was closed, but the new message window
doesn't; if Outlook was already opened, its icon in the system tray
blinks, but a new message window does not open.
I should point out that this started happening after I downloaded
Mozilla Thunderbird, another mail program, and used it for a few days. I
have since uninstalled it and returned to Outlook.
I am having another, likely related problem. I have downloaded Mozilla
Firefox browser, and I am keeping it, I think. When I do a File-> Send
in Firefox, the Outlook new message window, which should open, doesn't.
Any help?
Regards,
Leo |

Greetings Leo,
If you click the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, then Internet Options, then Programs tab,
is Outlook still set as your default e-mail handler?
