How can I make Entourage the default email program? I am using a
MacBook. Thank you!

Open Apple's Mail application, and then go to Mail > Preferences. Under
"General", next to "Default E-mail Reader", choose "Microsoft Entourage" in
the pop-up menu, and then quit Mail to save your selection.

Adding to this....

There are several (freeware) utilities that allow you to make
changes.

RCDefaultApp... RCDefaultApp is a preference pane that allows a
user to set the default application used for various URL schemes, file
extensions, file types, and MIME types. MacOS X uses the extension and file
type settings to choose the application when opening a file in Finder, while
Safari and other applications use the URL and MIME type settings at other
times for content not related to a file (such as an unknown URL protocol, or
a media stream).

IC-Switch..... I like the feature where it puts a small icon in the menu bar
that allows you to toggle which application you want as default for email,
web, FTP etc. Quick and easy way to change default application for testing
purposes.


IC-Switch is a helper utility for Internet Config (hence the "IC" in its
name), for Mac OS X only. It allows you to change quickly and easily your
default emailer, FTP client, news and RSS readers and Web browser, simply by
choosing an item from a menu displayed in all applications.

More Internet...... More Internet is a System Preferences pane that uses
Internet Config to allow you to choose which applications are set as helpers
for internet protocols (i.e. which application will be chosen to handle
which URL.)

MISFOX (MIssing Internet Settings for X)....... MisFox will show all the
file mappings settings and the protocol helpers. You can inspect these
settings, but you can also edit, delete and create new items for these
settings. Protocol Helpers are used to find the right application to handle
certain internet protocol.
