This issue was originally filled at:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/416695


In the Preferred Applications dialog in the Mail Reader section, there is a textedit to enter a command for a mail reader, but now Browse button to find the application using a file-picker. This is inconsistent with other parts of GNOME, and therefore Ubuntu.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2010-12-07 15:32:02 UTC 
The text entry for mail and web browsers is gone in GNOME 3. If you want to setup another mail client than the ones listed, you'll need to create and install a .desktop file to launch the application, which handles the x-scheme-handler/mailto mime-type.

See how it was done for Evolution for example:
