Title:
Can't select Thunderbird as Mail Reader in Preferred Applications
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I'm running 11.04 Beta1, upgraded from 10.10 netbook edition. I have
Thunderbird installed as my default email client. In 10.10, if I
opened the Preferred Applications dialog in the Control Center, I
could choose between Evolution and Thunderbird as my default mail
client. Since upgrading, Evolution is the only option given.
However, I am able to choose between Firefox and Chromium for my web
browser. Thunderbird sets itself as the default mail client when I
run it; however, this isn't reflected in the Preferred Applications
GUI.
Ideally, I should be able to select Thunderbird as my preferred email
reader, so that when I click on Check Email in the Unity dash, Ubuntu
opens Thunderbird rather than Evolution. I guess I could switch to
Evolution but I think my choice of email client should be respected by
the OS.
