    Mailto Links


    Win 10 Ms Edge (and Chrome) How do I make mailto links in websites point to Gmail?

    Currently every time I click a mailto it gives a choice of Gmail or Outlook. I wish it default to Gmail, and if possible not the app but the program.

    :)

    Error message

    OK, I think you are clicking on a Email link and if you do not have a mail client like MS Outlook installed, Windows does not know how to open a mailto link. Most users nowadays open email in their Web browser but this is not the same as having a mail client
    installed . . .

    Each browser handles mailto links differently, your best option is to google your browser name and the mailto handler

    For example 'how to set mailto handler in Chrome'

    Windows 10 - Mailto does not open

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for the reply. We are sorry for the delay in response.

    We are not supposed to recommend any mailto links. It seems that the mailto link which you are trying to open might be corrupt. I suggest you to try with other mailto links and check if it helps.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance regarding Windows 10, we’ll be glad to assist you.
