Preferred application not available in System settings

[Adi Roiban]

In the previous Ubuntu version, the gnome control center contains a Preferred application section from where the default web browser and email client could be selected.

In the latest Ubuntu verion, I can not find this section and I can not find any option for switching from Thunderbird to Evolution as the default email client.

Changing Preferred Applications is now done via the System Info panel in System Settings.
