How to set your standard e-mail program on your device
You can start sending an e-mail from Visma Advisor, but the mail will be sent by the e-mail program that is set as standard on your device. The program used to compose messages is determined by the Default Mail Handler on your device, which can be changed so that your preferred e-mail program will be opened instead. We recommend that you do this in the following order:
- Check the settings for your operating system.
Read more below under Operating systems. - Go through the settings of your default email program.
Read more in the section that applies to you, either under Desktop applications or Web applications.
