Public bug reported:
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.
