How Do I Set Outlook For Mac 2011 To Open Links In Firefox?

Jun 4, 2013 - Setting up Outlook 2011 as your default mail client Discussion. They click a link in either Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Apple Mail tries to launch. If you open Outlook 2011 Preferences and under the General applet, tick the. Outlook 2007 and newer. Open the message. Click the Other Actions button on the Actions group. From the flyout menu, choose View in Browser (its near the bottom) Use View in Browser to view any HTML message that does not display correctly in Outlook or when you want to print a message and have better options than Outlook’s print option offers.

So, today I've been fine tuning some of my policies that I've rolled out to the user base (all running Mountain Lion). One of the things that I'd been putting off is the issue my users are complaining about whereby when they click a link in either Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Apple Mail tries to launch. I've prevented Apple Mail from launching as I don't want my users attempting to configure a mail client that I didn't set up. It therefore produces an error message meaning that the users have to copy/paste the email address. So, today I've been trying to set up default programs for all the macs.

This should work for setting Outlook as the default mail client with duti. • Create a PKG with Composer that lays the following plist in /Library/SomeDirectory/duti_settings.plist

Exit 1 fi exit $? Hope this helps. Guys: Duti is not working for me for setting the default email client on our Mavericks build. I use a package to place the duti binary onto the filesystem, and then I use a script to grab the system owner from our database and then run duti as that user, like so: sudo -u $OWNER /path/to/duti -s com.microsoft.outlook mailto all This seems to work, as evidenced by duti: acunning-mn4:~ acunning$ /path/to/duti -x mailto Microsoft Outlook /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Outlook.app com.microsoft.Outlook However, mailto links still open in Mail.app. Is there something that I am missing? I can verify that the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist is being updated with the proper LSHandler; I wonder why the OS isn't honoring my setting? Our environment is mostly 10.9.

Microsoft for mac install. Step-by-step guide 1. Type in your UMBC email address and then click Next. When it takes you to myUMBC, type in your UMBC credentials and then click Log In.

We tried MCX, Config Profiles, Defaults write, Bash scripts, editing the LaunchServices db and Duti, but they were either too complex or not reliable. It was hard for me to believe that there was no easy way to set this. Finally I ran across the AppleScript listed below on the Google MacEnterprise forum. It is simple and appears to work well in testing.

At first this script only worked when I ran it from the AppleScript Editor. I had tried pasting it into the JSS, but it appeared to do nothing when run. Then I tried saving as text(.applescript), uploading via Casper Admin and now it seems to work great. Not sure if it needs the quit signal at the end.

Hope this helps others. Tell application 'Microsoft Outlook' set system default everything application to yes end tell tell application 'Microsoft Outlook' to quit end.
