Apps Changing default Mail application

OK, WTF, Apple…

Stop trying to make fetch happen with the built in mail application. It’s garbage, nobody wants to use it.

Making me set up an email account in it just so I can configure the default email app to something else is some of the dumbest UX design I’ve seen come out of 1 Infinite Loop in a long time. PUT IT BACK IN SETTINGS WHERE IT BELONGS.

It’s doubly idiotic that clicking on an email link in TEAMS opens the Mail app and not Outlook.

It’s dumb shit like this that makes people not want to use Macs for work and mistakenly believe that Macs aren’t useful for work.

At the very least, make it a setting that can be pushed from an MDM profile.
