Observation

When I want to send an e-mail to a user via Favorites/Monitor, Windows Mail opens instead of Microsoft Outlook as desired.

Possible reason

In the Microsoft Windows operating system, the default mail program is not Microsoft Outlook.

Check possible causes

You can switch to the "Expert View >>" in the ProCall Client for Windows main window via the three dots   "About ProCall".

In the Expert view, under System information, you can see in the list which program is defined as the default e-mail client in the system.

Solution/Procedure

In Microsoft Windows 10

Go to the Windows Default apps setting and change the e-mail app to Outlook.

In Microsoft Windows 11

Go to the Windows setting Standard apps. Here you select Outlook or Mail and specify Outlook for "MAILTO".
