Through Firefox menu go to Tools > Options, click on Applications, type mailto into the search field, and change it to Pocomail (default) if set to something else. (even Use Pocomail is wrong, it shall be set to Pocomail (default).
You can install latest development version of mozex from http://mozex.mozdev.org/
In Firefox go to Tools>Add ons>Mozex>Options>Mail.
Tick the box "Intercept mailto: clicks" and enter the following line:
"C:\Program Files\PocoMail4\poco.exe" /m mailto:%a&subject=%s&body=%b"
The line containing the path to the executable, might differ on your computer.

Thanks for the solution Tony.Antonio47 wrote:After couple hours at last I managed to setup PocoMail as window 7 - default email program.

Thank you Bruce for discovering the cause!
For the meantime, here are quick patches available:
Pocomail registry patch
Barca registry patch
Barca Pro registry patch
Running the executable inside the archive, will change the wrong registry key location (if present) to the correct one.
Step by step instructions:
- download the file relevant to your software
- double click on the downloaded zip archive to open it
- double click on the executable file (pocomrf.exe or barcamrf.exe or barcapromrf.exe) to run it
That's it. There will be no messages, executable runs for a second or so.
If asked by your security program (antivirus, ...), allow a (one-time if choice is available) registry access and writing for this executable.

I should have also noted that if someone is afraid of running the fix, it's possible to get same effect by manually editing your Windows registry...just say so if you prefer that and I'll add the details.
