Wht is "the path to your mail client" for the Toolbar Buttons addon?

more options

I have the Toolbar Buttons addon, which includes Read News, Read Mail, New Message, and Email Links buttons. I have no proble with New Message and Email Link, but to make the other buttons work I have to select "the path to your mail/news client." Until I do that, I get a dialog box with this message: "The application could not be found, please use Toolbar Buttons's options window to correct this." I assume my "mail client" is Windows 10 Mail because that is what I get when I click on the buttons that work. What does all this mean?

I tried sending a link to my mom's gmail address through Windows 10 Mail client by clicking on the Email Link button. She did not get it so I had to go back to the AOL client.

Please check this setting to see whether you can select Windows 10 Mail as your preferred mail program in Firefox: Change the program used to open email links.

I use AOL Mail, but am hoping to switch to Windows 10 Mail client with the same email address.

That is the default email client as set in your Windows operating system.

I have the default mail client set up for sending messages. It only fails when I click on the Read Mail button. That is what I need a path for.
