  <title>Change which mail application is used to write emails</title>

  
When you click a button or link to send a new email (for example, in your

  word processing application), your default mail application will open up with

  a blank message, ready for you to write. However, if you have more than one

  mail application installed, the wrong mail application might open up. You

  can fix this by changing which one is the default email application:

  <steps>

    <item>

      
Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and

      start typing <gui>Details</gui>.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Click on <gui>Details</gui> to open the panel.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Choose <gui>Default Applications</gui> from the list on the left side

      of the window.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Choose which email client you would like to be used by default by

      changing the <gui>Mail</gui> option.

    </item>

  </steps>
