At my company, we allow employees to use Entourage or Mail.app. Ideally, down the road we want to target installs to users of Mail.app or Entourage. A good example is installing Symantec E-Vault Entourage client on Entourage users only.
I know you can set your default mail client through Mail.app, but there must be some plist or some other info I can poll to get what the user is using through Casper.
Anyone have a similar experience?
Thanks.
+36The default mail application will be set per user, so you'll need to look at
each user's home folder.
I suggest reading the LaunchServices database to determine the default mail
application set for the user. This string (one line):
defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices | grep -B 1 mailto
returns this for me:
LSHandlerRoleAll = "com.microsoft.entourage"; LSHandlerURLScheme = mailto;
