Isn't this a problem in Outlook that it steals the setting?

Anyway, you can set this in Tools->Options->Advanced->General->Always check if Tb is the default mail client . TB will notify you if any other program sets itself as default.

I suppose the problem is on Windows, you just filed it under Linux.

It is not problem of microsoft, it is microsoft philosophy. Problem is, that if update change the default program, regular user dont know about this, and continue using outlook. In my situation outlook have old accounts, that not work anymore and then I hearth from users "what **** is that TB".
