I have changed the email client preference in Mac Mail to 'Outlook' but when I try to email anything directly from Solar Accounts it always opens Mac Mail.

Please could you advise how I get it to mail via Outlook as default, cannot find anything on internet about it.

Thanks

Hi Janis,

Unfortunately Solar Accounts for Mac only integrates with Mail. You will need to export the invoice to a PDF file and use Outlook to attach the PDF to a new message.

Is this something you are planning to change, as I use Outlook for the mac.

Hi Ed,

I'll note this as a feature request in our development system. However, we cannot make promises about future development.

I'd be interested in this feature too. Love Solar Accounts but use Outlook for MAC

This is an annoying problem. Most business prefer to use Outlook for calendars and mail contacts. 'Mail' hasn't the same facilities. I would hope you will endeavour to try and include this feature in a future upgrade!

Hi, I also use outlook rather than Mac mail and this would be a real bonus if I were able to set outlook as my email client.

I just found this tread after emailing about the same issue. I have been looking for a good accounts package & think I have found one in Solar, but this is a big bugbear for me too. I know the work round is simple enough, but it does create extra work & a lot of unneeded files (yeah we can delete them once done), but I do think integration to Outlook would be a real boost for a lot of users that don't like Mac mail.

That is the only thing that is making me think of sticking with the package I use now as I just hit email & it autofills attaches & it's gone..... :-)

HI there....another one who'd like Outlook added :)

ive just purchased solar account as i have been previously having to save as pdf and attach. Im annoyed that im still going to have to do this when most business users run Outlook and not standard mac mail.

Hi All,

The latest version of Solar Accounts is now compatible with Outlook 2011 for Mac. You can upgrade Solar Accounts here:

To set Microsoft Outlook as the email program used by Solar Accounts, run Mac Mail then click menu Mail > Preferences. Select the General tab and set the Default Email Reader field to 'Microsoft Outlook.

Regards,

That's great, but is it possible to add other Email Clients to the software at all?

I use Mail for personal and Thunderbird for Business so would like to use this ideally, as i'm not a huge fan of Outlook?

Hi Mark,

No, Thunderbird is not supported by Solar Accounts - I'll note that as a feature request in our development system.
