Mailto: for Gmail™
Makes mailto: links open a Gmail™ compose window. Nothing more, nothing less.
This extension will make mailto: links open in a Gmail compose window. Nothing more, nothing less.
* Supports Google Apps accounts
* Works on javascript-inserted links
* Includes option of working on bcc: fields
It supports to, cc, subject, and body (and optionally bcc) fields, and is made to be compatible with RFC2368, the mailto: scheme standard.
It doesn't modify the mailto:address itself, so you can still see the link in the status bar when you hover over it, which allows you to easily read the target at a glance.
Please note, this extension doesn't need or provide any access to your mail account. It just makes links open in a Gmail account that you are already signed into. This extension can't help with mailto links outside of chrome.

Recent changes:
* No longer need to refresh tabs on install, or after updating settings.
* Updated code to avoid deprecation warnings, and warnings in console.
Privacy policy:
In short, this extension does not store or transmit any personal information.

Exactly what I needed. Allows me to use a secondary Gmail account as the default mailto account
Spent about an hour trying to research ways to fix my browser to open a compose email tab properly upon clicking a mail to link. I wanted to do this by just adjusting gmail or chrome settings, but the handler once I found it didn't have anything I could actually adjust. Ridiculous that two products from the same company don't integrate better. It was google workspace so maybe that's why. Anyway, I finally found a suggestion to try this extension, and now five minutes later I have the functionality I was looking for. Yay!
it also does something to your "home" or "new" tab each time you open a new tab it does soething. >:(
It works. What else can I say.
So simple and I use it every day to share pages with my wife
nice work perfectly for now
doesn't work ( can dev fix it?
Working for Google Workspace. The settings that shows up when it is first installed requires you to enter your Workspace Domain.
Works in Brave
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.

Works for me, I chose the force open in new window option, went back to the page I wanted to test, refreshed the page, clicked the mailto link, and got a new gmail window open in chrome, exactly as desired.

I love this plugin but for a while now, every time I click on an email address, multiple (up to 5) browser tabs are opened. This is quite annoying. Does anyone else have this problem or can you fix it?
Works fine for me for pages on the web, but not for links in files stored locally (e.g. an HTML file on my Windows computer desktop).

Update Oct 2020 - Works in my Google Chrome v85. (You have to restart browser after adding this extension.) You also may need to go into Windows default apps protocols and change your Mail to Chrome or a different browser I guess.

Funktioniert prima auf dem aktuellen Chrome Browser und Windows 10. Vielen Dank
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.

Excellent! Opening Apple Mail every time I clicked on a mailto: link was annoying. This works much better.

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.

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.

Works well here on 64 bit Windows (was redirecting to Inbox, now GMAIL). I want mailto links to open in a new window otherwise you could just set up the Chrome protocol handler (which stupidly doesn't open it in a new window).
