Hi Everyone. For some reason I cant set my default Mail Program in Win 10 ... I change it and it keeps coming up with errors. Even my Brother MFC7860 wont scan to an email. When I open a file right click and choose send to EMAIL same error. See photos. Am I missing something here?? TIA for any help!

Hi, it seems you're using something called 'Postbox' to handle mail. This is not a common client.
Two possibilities that could be causing what you see:
a. If it does not support parameters, it can't be used in this way.
b. Send to Mail Recipient is broken. (That can happen).
Please try this:
1. Create a shortcut to Postbox
2. Open your Sendto folder
Press the Windows Key + R to trigger the Run window. At the Open field in the window, type
shell:SendTo
and then click OK. File Explorer opens to the SendTo folder for your user account.
Paste the shortcut into that folder.
Now try this:
Right click a file (e.g. a small txt file)
Click Send to
Click the shortcut to Postbox.
See if Postbox opens offering a dialogue to create a new email with your file attached.
Post screenshots as appropriate to illustrate the outcome.
Thank you for your reply.
Screenshot please. Right click what? I don't know what 'MAIL' is here. Thanks.also if I right click and go to MAIL same error.
I don't know anything about that, sorry- too specific.Still get the error on the Bother MFC7860 when I scan to email.
Is Postbox a portable program, or one you've installed?
I presume it's not an app from the Store...
What are .eml files associated with?
Problems: the Default Programs Editor (free) may be useful. You need to explore the different options carefully.
