Mailto: for Gmail™

it also does something to your "home" or "new" tab each time you open a new tab it does soething. >:(

doesn't work ( can dev fix it?

Used to work. Now doesn't. And yeah I restarted the browser. Now if I click a mailto link on a website, it takes me to a browser page that says This site can’t be reached The webpage at https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tf=cm&to=***SOME EMAIL ADDRESS***&cc&bcc&su&body&fs=1 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. I can access gmail just fine though.

doesn't work

sadly doesnt work for me

I was hoping that this extension would cause mailto links to open in gmail. It does not do that. It does not do anything as far as I can tell.

Give an option to remove from Menu bar. This app would be perfect if it had that! I even tried uninstalling your app but the Menu item persisted, so I am reporting this bug to Google.

Has stopped working

Doesn't work with Brave 0.67.124, which, like Chrome, is built on open-source Chromium. On Windows 10, clicking a mailto: link launches the native Mail app.

It either works or it doesn't and right now it doesn't.

sep 15, 2018: i wanna know why when i click on an email link to send an email it opens TWO windows every time this has been happening forever! jan 18, 2026: edit: it doesn't work at all anymore

It doesnt work

Does not work at all :-(

Does not work, even after a restart

Didn't work even after I restarted the computer

Same as Sara. It does not work. Form links still are opened by outlook. I will soon uninstall

There is a native support for mailto protocol in Chrome, no need to give extensive rights to any 3rd party extension. chrome://settings/handlers Gmail supports that, look for a protocol icon in the URL bar

not in Win 10

Stopped working.

Opened two Mail windows and no GMail windows. Running OS X El Capitan.

It starts the compose window with the wrong Gmail account, and there is no way to reset to a different account.

Why would someone need this if you can do this without an extension? Pointless.

It just doesn't work. Pointless.

Doesn’t work at all.

doesn't work

doesn't work

Does nothing in Windows 10

Doesn't work.

Doesn't work....

cannot rate something that does not work

It didn't work and appears I'm not alone

Caused 2 gmail windows to open. Useless extension since Chrome already supports this by default.

doesn't work

Did not work on Windows 7 (tried reloading tab/browser). I did however find a way to get chrome to handle mailto without a plugin/extension: go to gmail website, in the far right of the address bar is an icon looking like two overlapping tilted squares (next to the star favourite icon), click this and select "allow gmail to open all email links" and voila!

This just straight up doesn't work on Ubuntu.

it doesn't work for me -- chrome/Windows 10. mailto links didn't work before and still don't

Doesn´t work at all. still opening external mail utility.

Isn't working...

doesn't work

Did nothing.

Ads are appearing in my email window - they weren't there before!

Doesn't work for my chrome 35 Mailto: links still open up my Thunderbird.

it doesn't run. I installed it and links continue opening in Outlook... :(

Doesn't work. Mailto: links still open up in Mail.

why must I add another stupid background app instead of just having a simple radio button defining if I use gmail as my default mailto. I think its time for me to consider a different browser.

Doesn't work.

It doesn't work with Chrome 24.0.1312.52 m. Any suggestions?

Doesn't work, always get this error message: We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes. If the issue persists, please visit the Gmail Help Center » Try Again Sign Out Show Detailed Technical Info

Did not work even after restarting, mailto links merely opened outlook

Does not work with OS X Lion, even after a restart. Sorry.
