# The button to "View My Mail" in email notifications opens Microsoft Edge. How do I change this?

> ⚡ **Quick Answer:** Links in your email open in Microsoft Edge because Edge is set as your Windows default browser. Change the default browser in Windows Settings. If you use Outlook or Teams, also check their own link settings, which can override Windows.

# Step 1: Change Your Windows Default Browser

1. Press `Win + I` to open **Settings** (or click **Start** and select the **Settings** cog)
2. Click **Apps** in the left menu, then **Default apps**
3. Search for the browser you want (for example Google Chrome or Brave) and click **Set default**
4. Still in **Default apps**, click **Choose defaults by link type** (or **Choose default apps by protocol**)
5. Scroll to **HTTP** and **HTTPS**, click the app listed next to each, and select your preferred browser

**In Microsoft Outlook**

1. Click **File** › **Options**
2. Select **Advanced**
3. Under *File and browser preferences*, change *Open hyperlinks from Outlook in* to **Default Browser**

**In Microsoft Teams**

2. Click **Files and links**
3. Under *Link open preference*, change *Always open links in* to **Default browser**

# Common Questions

**Is this a Windows setting, not a Hoxton Mix setting?**
Yes. The "View My Mail" button is a normal web link. Your computer decides which browser opens it.

**Can I just open the portal directly?**
Yes. Go to [account.hoxtonmix.com](https://account.hoxtonmix.com/) in any browser and log in with your registered email.
