I have the basic Windows Mail and Calendar App. I would like to set it up with MailWasher but settings only gives the choice of Outlook 2016 and Hotmail. When I click, "Use other application" and browse, I cannot find my email app. It doesnt seem to have an exec file anywhere?
How do I hook MailWasher with Windows Mail so that I click the icon and go to my mail app?

Re: Windows 10 Email Program
You might also want to check whether the executable of your Windows Mail is available at either of the following destinations:—
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\Windows Mail
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Mail

Re: Windows 10 Email Program
Unfortunately, only Outlook 2016 and Hotmail are shown on the dropdown.You could try to re-map your 'Windows Live Mail' path from within MWP through the following:--
- 'Settings' >>----> 'General Options' >>----> (tick/enable) Launch email application after processing >>----> 'Specify' >>----> 'Use a preconfigured mail client' >>----> (from the dropdown menu,) 'Windows Live Mail' >>----> 'OK'
Windows Mail folder exists among my program files, but it only contains WAB files. (no executable? how strange is that?(If for some strange reasons 'Windows Live Mail' is not present in the dropdown menu, you may tick/enable) >>----> 'Specify a mail client command' (and then manually enter either one of the following paths - preferably the first one):-
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe
Code: Select all
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Live Mail

The executable you want to be looking for inside the Windows Mail directory is WinMail.exe — check out the contents:—

No, there is no WinMail.exe to be found either in that folder or when doing a search. Im using Windows 10.
