  <title>Change which mail application is used to write emails</title>

  <p>When you click a button or link to send a new email (for example, in your
  word processing application), your default mail application will open up with
  a blank message, ready for you to write. However, if you have more than one
  mail application installed, the wrong mail application might open up. You
  can fix this by changing which one is the default email application:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Apps</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>Apps</gui></guiseq> from the
      results. This will open the <gui>Apps</gui> panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Default Apps</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Choose which email client you would like to be used by default by
      changing the <gui>Mail</gui> option.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
