<title>Change which mail application is used to write emails</title>
<p>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:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Apps</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>Apps</gui></guiseq> from the
results. This will open the <gui>Apps</gui> panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select <gui>Default Apps</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Choose which email client you would like to be used by default by
changing the <gui>Mail</gui> option.</p>
</item>
