Change default mail client

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm trying to change my default mail client (To Evolution), I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and Linux but I've gone to System Settings >Details > Default Applications & Change it. Yet when I click the system tray icon thing at the top, it still brings up Thunderbird when I click "Compose New Mail" and what not, does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi along with changing in Default application list, you need to some more work.You need to install this package to arrange the room in Notification area.

Open your terminal with ctrl+alt+T and type this

sudo apt-get install evolution-indicator 

Then Re-login/Restart to apply the changes.

PS:If you don't want to use Thunderbird , then you'd better uninstall it.
