Re: Unable to change default email application
Max108 Aug 14, 2015 6:22 PM (in response to Puntoboy)Hi Puntoboy,
Normally, your change to default email client is saved by LaunchServices, but that database can become corrupted. You can reset the database with the following command in Terminal (copy-paste the whole thing):
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -all local,system,user
OS X will have to re-learn your preferred non-default apps for opening different types of files again, but it may fix the issue.
Let me know if it does...
Max.

joejoethedogfaceboy Sep 8, 2015 1:12 PM (in response to Max108)Same issue here, on Dev Beta 8. Even though it is a relatively clean install, Max108's suggestion *did* fix my problem. Thanks!
