Open mailto: links with your favorite online email service

Image from store
Mailto:
Description from store

It makes mailto: links open in an online email service (webmail services).
Currently it supports AOL mail, Fastmail, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail and Zoho mail by default. You can also set multiple different email services yourself.

Compared to the other mailto extensions, this one can handle a lot more mailto links. Try out http://shadow2531.com/opera/testcases/mailto/rfc2368-3.html for example (as far as supported by the email client of course). Also forms and javascript-inserted links are supported!

You can also choose to add an option to the context menu, to send the address of the page with your chosen email service. Furthermore, you can exclude certain web pages from this extension.

It breaks Google Search (removing the 'Google My Business' block). Caused some problems for my clients.

messes up google search

Just a heads up, this extension is as of 12/12/2020 broken with outlook.com (the free version, successor to hotmail/live.com). I can't figure out the fullest form of a URL, but for those encountering this issue (and perhaps the dev will know how to tweak it) As of this same time, the following works in chrome: https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/deeplink/compose?to={to}

How can I choose system default action? This option ain't available anymore

Титан Первый 2020-12-06

Отличное расширение! Поддерживает огромное количество почтовых ящиков (если не нашли свой в списке, нажмите "add another service", и по кнопке "get help" вам откроется подробная инструкция как это сделать. Но достаточно просто нажать Ctrl+F, ввести название своего почтового сервиса и скопипастить текст из рамки

For Outlook Web, it simply opens the inbox instead of the composition screen.

Miguel Garza 2020-11-23

I greatly appreciate that this extension includes Fastmail, among other more widespread webmail providers. That said, it would be nice if the left-click action on the Mailto: toolbar button opened up a compose window, rather than opening the context menu. This means you need to click twice to open up the compose window, for no reason.

There is an issue however. I've been using and loving it for quite a while but siddenly it does not open in YAHOO as I request but GOOGLE. (Using chromebooks) I think Google broke it. WIll wait for an update and keep tryng.

I am using Outlook Web Access on Chrome in Linux (Mint 20.04) and I had to me the following changes: - remove any email handler already configured in "chrome://settings/handlers" (because Chrome built-in handling takes presidence over the extension) - modify the name part of the URL for "Hotmail / Windows Live Mail / Outlook.com" in "Mailto: settings" from "mail.live.com" to "outlook.live.com" (because the redirect between them was dropping all the parameters and therefore not opening a compose window)

David Outzs 2020-07-01

It partially works with AOL mail (believe it or not!) but any LINK formatting is stripped out, so it only appear as text. Have closely checked all options, and options in AOL mail, to no avail. This is needed to enable the email link on many web pages and blogs, to allow mailing out of that content. Can this be fixed??

Kalon Reeves 2020-03-25

Does not work.

Karlijn Jongeleen 2020-03-23

If you want it to work for outlook.com: 1. choose option "Hotmail / Windows Live Mail / Outlook.com" 2. next to this option, click "Modify" 3. change the first part of the link: "https://mail.live.com" to "https://outlook.live.com" 4. click "add" 5. Enjoy!

Schrott! Ich hab jetzt eine ganze Stunde verzweifelt gesucht, aber ich kann immer nur irgendwelche Websites eintragen. Egal was ich mache: Thunderbird startet nicht und weit und breit nirgendwo eine Anleitung verfügbar. Es ist zum heulen.....!

nergui hun 2019-12-18

Yeah, doesn't work fully, only brings up the Home page of Outlook.com, not the Compose page. Maybe the URL needs to be changed?

Michel Basilieres 2019-11-04

doesn't work. Opens the web app, that's it.

Manu Bermudez 2019-07-15

Funciona perfectamente. Lo he utilizado para que los Mailto me abra el Gmail, y funciona a la perfección.

Fakhreddine Yousfi 2019-05-29

Fonctionne très bien il faut un petit tuto pour expliquer qu'il faut changer changer le lien des services par https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&tf=1&to={to}&cc={cc}&bcc={bcc}&su={subject}&body={body}

Add icloud mail please

Harvest Johns 2019-04-23

I'm going to give it a week since the first seventeen tries didn't work. But, currently, the thing operates exactly as described. I'm using this extension to open OWA, the browser based program for Outlook, for work. I had to use the custom option and use the link: https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/mail/action/compose&to=lfkelley%40troy.edu&subject=&body=&cc=&bcc= which worked fine. If it keeps working after a week, I'll come back and update the review.

Jesse O'Sullivan 2019-04-22

literally doesnt work

I have gotten more requests to donate than the times It was useful

Doesn't work with Hotmail/Live Mail. Many browser resets later and no change. I'm on Windows 8.1.

James Utting 2019-02-09

This used to work fine for outlook.com webmail. But has stopped working for some reason, now it opens outlook.com but simply takes you to your Inbox, The Drafts section still has to be opened an email has to be created in the normal manner. Refreshing the tab as suggest in a previous response did not help at all.

Mark 2018-11-01

Works great! To the creators, please include Office365 as additional option in list... as per other comment above... Office365.com -> https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/mail/action/compose&to={to}&subject={subject}&body={body}&cc={cc}&bcc={bcc}

Added to Chrome for Yahoo! mail. Quite simply, it works. Then something happened. Sometime between May 3, 2015 and Sept 15, 2018 something has changed that fundamentally affects how this and any other mailto app works in Windows 10. Today I tried not only this app but every Gmail mailto app and non of them works under Windows 10. The developer's web site has many comments to this and it appears something has happened to the developer or he has abandoned his project. In any case, until the app is updated to work with the current version of Windows, it is pretty much useless.

Sameer C 2018-07-21

works now check solution in support site issue 71 thanks

Mads Nygaard 2018-06-13

The extension does not pick up when changing the default mail app pattern to an alternative via "Add another service". Tried using Tutanota (https://mail.tutanota.com). The new path can be added but even if chosen via the radio bottom it never actually sets the new service as default. Useless.

"mail this pages url" took about 30secs to load compose page when using hotmail / outlook webmail (outlook.live.com). mailto link worked but also slow. I had to change URI (see issue 71 comments on support site)

Matsuko Friedland 2018-03-24

Using this to open in Gmail and seems to work well. I had tried 2 other extensions before that didn't work or didn't work well. The only thing I'd like is for the email I'm sending it from to be visible, like the inbox view or something. Not sure if that's possible, though.

Arto Aalto 2018-03-21

I was fighting for hours to get mailto links to work on my Win7 Chrome. I tried several extensions, but only this working correctly also with BCC. Only what I missing is option to set allowed sites. Now it is available only option to set sites dissabled.

Derek M 2018-03-18

Works great! Allows me to click email hyperlinks and open Gmail. People don't understand that this can only open webmail.

Did not work with Yahoo mail

Judyth Hulford 2018-02-05

Add 'system default action' back in and I'll reinstall it. Never use webmail.

Richard Hartzell 2018-01-02

very simply does not work with OUTLOOK

Anonymous 2017-12-25

The app does open outlook.com but the entire point of clicking the mailto: is to get a compose screen. With this extension it still requires me to copy and paste the URL. It's easier to do that by hand than using this app.

žalostna miza 2017-12-24

It is as expected.

Chris Patrick 2017-12-07

You used to be able to set "System default action" which I used all the time but it has been removed. It is shown on the screen shot in the Chrome web Store screen shot. i have uninstalled and reinstalled but to no effect. Windows 10 and Outlook 2013 locally installed

Taffy2727 2017-10-23

In Google Browser after this extension download, Choose your email provider Yahoo Mail for instance, check mark the box, then right click mail to link on the website page you want to send. Works for me. Happy!!

Seth Carstens 2017-10-23

Did not work for hotmail/outlook. Installed, activated for outlook, restarted chrome, went to w3schools mailto example, click the link, nothing happens.
