Set "Run Email Client" button to Win 10 Mail?

[Apesbrain]

There is a setting (Tools > Options > General > Email client) to set the app POP Peeper will launch with the button at the bottom left of the main window. How do I set this to launch Windows 10 Mail app? The "=Windows Mail" select returns an error. Thanks.

The windows 10 Mail program is a UWP app which doesn't run from the command-line like traditional software.

I found this guide:
https://www.tenforums.com/software-apps ... -line.html
which fortunately provided an example of exactly what you want (the Mail app). So this is the command that you want to put into POP Peeper for the email client:

Code: Select all

explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.windowslive.mail

I've tested this and it does work as far as opening the Mail app. However, it will not work if you want to use Mail to reply; this will strictly allow you to *open* the Mail app.
