I've tried to right click on a file in Windows 8 and select Send To > Mail Recipient, but it gives an error saying that i haven't associated an email program. The Mail app is already set to all its defaults, and it doesn't change anything. Can I use the mail app with Send To?

    Why do you keep sending people round in circles. You have  known for some time that "send to mail recipient" doesn't work since you got rid of windows live mail and brought in this useless windows 10.

    Why have you not yest fixed this with an update?

    Outlook mail has hardley any settings available. I can't make message rules.  Send to email recipient doesn't work. and every now and then all the icons on my desktop re arrange themselves. I think its pathetic that you have not sorted these issues with an update. Is this because you don't have a solution? 

    you pay developers thousands of pounds for medling with things that are clearly beyond their skill level.

    Now fix my PC that was ok untill you changed it. from a fully functioning windows 7 into this bag of crap !!!!!!!!! my next PC will probably be an Apple..

    I suppose that it was unrealistic of me to hope that Microsoft people would read and take into advisement complaints lodged on answers.microsoft.com. 

    Yes. With a possible rare exception, there are no Microsoft people
    here. This is a peer support forum. We are all just users of this
    version of Windows here, helping each other if and when we can. We are
    not Microsoft employees (not even those of us with "Microsoft MVP"
    behind our names; that's an honorary title for having provided
    consistently helpful advice) except for an occasional Microsoft
    contractor or employee.

    If you want to complain to Microsoft about something, please contact
    them directly. Trying to do it here is just a waste of (figurative)
    breath, and clutters up the forum.

    It is beside the point to say, "Just because an e-mail program comes with Windows 10 (or any other
    version of Windows), that doesn't mean it's the e-mail program you should be using."  Rather, my point is: Because an e-mail program (created by MS) comes with Windows 10 (also created by MS), I expect that it should work with the rest of the OS.  As the consumer and loyal user of Microsoft Windows, I have the right of this expectation. 

    As it happens I agree with you. As far as I'm concerned, the e-mail
    program that comes with Windows 10 is a very poor choice, and
    Microsoft did a poor job creating it. However, that's beside the
    point. You were here in this forum looking for help, and I offered
    what I thought would be helpful advice.

    But feel free to ignore my advice.
