Description

Have you ever clicked on a website's "contact us" email link, only to find out that nothing happens when you click on it? Or maybe it opens an email client like iCloud email on your Apple MacOs device, or Microsoft Outlook on your Windows device? It's an annoyance that doesn't need to happen at all. With this extension, you'll be able to set Gmail (or your G Suite account) as your default email client anytime you click on an email address that you find online. This extension is great for: ✅ Large organizations that use Google Workspace to ensure that all your employees compose emails from their work emails and not accidentally sent from employees' private email accounts (ie. iCloud, Outloook.com, or other Gmail email). ✅ Gmail users who just don't like using other email clients other than their Gmail email client. ✅ Gmail users who are left wondering why clicking on an email link just never works at all. Save time from having to copy and paste email addresses from the web into your Gmail compose window with Mailto: Set Default Email to Gmail by cloudHQ cloudHQ. Helping your productivity, 1 click at a time. cloudHQ website: https://www.cloudhq.net/ App website: https://www.gmail-mailto.com Pricing: https://www.gmail-mailto.com/pricing Support page: https://support.cloudhq.net/category/browser-extensions/gmail-mailto/ Blog: https://blog.cloudhq.net Demo: https://www.cloudhq.net/demo Google Workspace, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Google Alerts and Gmail are trademarks of Google LLC.

Injects stuff on the Gmail page for no reason whatsoever.

I was hoping that this extension would open mailto links in gmail. It does not. I uninstalled Windows Mail to see if that would help but now it just opens a new blank tab in chrome.

It worked fine, but it caused the compose function in Gmail to be EXTREMELY slow, so I will have to disable and remove it. I tested by disabling and enabling and it was definitely this extension.

Having it open Gmail in a new tab is only working for me if I already have gmail open. The first time I click an email link it opens Gmail in a new tab. If I click it again, it composes a new email and fills in the email. I have gone into the extension settings and set a preferred email etc. If I set it to open the link in a new window, it works.
