Summary
If you have Lotus Notes and Outlook installed on your Windows 7 workstation, you may have to manually update your settings to switch your default e-mail program form Lotus Notes to Outlook. This ensures that Outlook will be used in place of Lotus Notes whenever you click on any so called "mail to" links, such as when you release blocked messages from quarantine by clicking the message ID link in your spam digest message

A default program is the program that Mac OS X uses when you open a particular type of file, such as a music file, an image, or a webpage. For example, if you have more than one web browser installed on your computer, you can choose one of them to be the default browser. This article applies to the situation where you have more that one e-mail program installed on your Mac OS X workstation, such as Lotus Notes and Outlook. It also applies to situation where you may have already removed Lotus Notes from your computer, but Outlook is still not registered to be the default e-mail program.

- Open "Mail" from the "Applications" folder, Dock, or "Launchpad"
