Share an Edge page via email
When I use the 'Share' button I am taken to a variety of options.
Unsurprisingly one is email but when I choose that am taken to a new email from my gmail account.
Now I must admit that I do have a gmail account but hardly ever use it.
Does anybody know how I can choose, as well as make it stay that way, my Microsoft account email address
Also why is WhatsApp not one of the sharing options?
- Max Wild Then, open the Mail app from your taskbar (the blue envelope thingy) and click "Accounts" and then click "Add account" on the bottom right. Lastly, add your Microsoft account, and you're all set! The next time you share something via email, it will ask you which account to choose. You can click your Microsoft account.
Hi,
check in here and if you see Gmail, remove it
edge://settings/content/handlers
and then from Windows settings => Apps => Default Apps
make sure the correct Email app is set as the default app.
WhatsApp is not in the share list because WhatsApp developers haven't added the necessary code for it to appear there.

apps will appear in Share if they support the Share contract.
Share data - UWP applications | Microsoft Docs
- I understand but any thoughts on the way to stop it choosing my scarcely used gmail account. Also, one of possibilities is my Recipe Keeper app! This is slightly bizarre.
