my Mac is not showing Share by Mail as an option in the various menus throughout the OS. The word "Email" and the Mac Mail envelope icon have been replaced by a Chrome icon and the item now says "Email Link". It also does not do anything and cannot be selected. i use Apple mail as my standard email account. Latest Sonoma os version.
Any suggestions as to how to fix?
Thanks for the suggestions.. I've followed the suggestions. reboot did not work. In Extensions: Sharing there is no teck option beside the Mail option (Chrome logo) as per image below. No other mail options. Still stuck! (also no option to share with messages or Airdrop)

Chrome may have hi-jacked your Apple Mail Share setting. If in Ventura or later, visit System setttings : Privacy & Security : Extensions : Sharing and see if there is a Chrome entry that you can disable, and if it will let you select Mail. Those efforts should be enough to activate Mail on your Share menu in Preview and other Apple applications. If not, reboot and see if that resolves it.
I just checked my macOS Sonoma MBP and chrome is listed, but there is no option to disable it.
Is there a away to see all the file handler associations like on Windows?
What else can we do to diagnose this and get it solved?
1.) Open the Apple Mail app
2.) Click on Mail in the top bar next to the Apple logo, then select Settings (or hold the Command key and press ,)
3.) On the General Tab, where it says Default Mail reader drop down list, choose Mail
This is re-enable Sharing to Mail in the Finder.
This worked for me. The interesting thing is that the mail icon remains the Google icon.
