Opening email client via Brave

Brave Browser Desktop Support
1

Hello,

I was using Brave for a few years now and never experienced any problems until a few days ago.
When I was clicking on an emailadress online, Brave always opened my emailclient (Airmail/Mac) automatically. Suddenly this changed and it opened my Gmailaccount. I’ve been trying to find a solution under ‘preferences’ and online but could not figure out how to change things back to Airmail.

I uninstalled Brave and reinstalled it. Now it does not connect to any of my email clients. A new (white) window pops up

Very frustrating. I hope somebody can help me with this one.

Thanks and regards,
Dirk

Hi @Dutchie58, Welcome to Community!
Can you try going to brave://settings/handlers and letting me know if it’s enabled?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, handlers is enabled. There was my gmail account but I deleted it. I want Brave to open my email client, Airmail. Can you please tell me how to set that as my preference?
Thank you and regards from The Netherlands.

Hi @Dutchie58,
Go into brave://settings/handlers and disable it.
Then to make Airmail your default mail client go to Apple Mail app preferences and set default mail reader as Airmail.

And it worked! Thank you very much for your help. I am happy with Brave again.
