i ignore the message as well. But, this is a new PC with a fresh Win 10 install. I don't want to see it.
Hi jalea148.
Could you please expand on your opening statement "email installed and set as default mail program".
Did you install an email program like outlook or thunderbird. What did you set as default mail program, "Mail", something you installed or a browser.
Have you tried the Clean boot process to see what is generating?
Perform a Clean Boot in Windows 10 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts
Have you looked in event viewer or reliability history when this message occurs to see what is generating?

You will have to look at your installed Applications, particularly what they put in at startup, and at various scheduled intervals.
Windows 10 does not come with a Mail Client that understands certain protocols.
If you have installed another Mail Client that also may not understand the protocol or you have not set the protocol to the Email Client, whatever that might be.
Might also look in Control Panel, Internet Options and the Programs tab, may be a way to set it as desired. It was easy 'back then' with Outlook Express or with any installed Outlook. A lot of the problem is how programs are written to connect to installed programs, sometimes don't work with third-party software.
Thank you. Will check out your suggestions later today.
I might head into the Apps in settings, then default apps, "Set defaults by app" and find Thunderbird. Make the associations.
If you start Control Panel through run, the User Accounts what is listed under Mail?
