Little bit of Mac/Outlook for Mac/Mail help please! Posted by turrbo [Email] (#8) [Profile/Gallery] (more from turrbo) on Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:46:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So, I am setting up a multifunction printer/scanner for a family member and ran into some trouble with the scan to email function. I should make note that, while I can't live without my iPhone, I am a Windows computer guy only.
The Mac in question is a year old MacBook so all of the software should be up to date. What's happening is this: when using the scan to email function on the printer (a Brother connected to the Wifi network), the scanned PDF (or whatever) should open an email attachment using the default email client. I went into Mail Preferences and set Outlook as the default Mail client. However, the darn attachment always opens in Mail rather than Outlook! Outlook needs to be used for work purposes.
Am I ignorant as to another way I should be setting Outlook as the default client? I googled and didn't really find any info other than what I did.
I didn't have any issues setting up the Windows 7 computer with this scanner/printer, so apparently I am just very Mac dumb *ducks for cover*. Thanks for any advice!
