Despite there being no accounts in Mail, it looks like that's where the desired setting lies (http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_set_my_default_email_program_on_mac_os_x.html) so you just need to step through the wizard with some madeup values to get at the Mail preferences. GMail is not a client in of itself (web interface doesn't count here) so it makes sense that wouldn't be a option, your mom needs to setup GMail's IMAP service in something like Thunderbird and then just set that client to be the default. -- Best Regards, John Musbach _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
