email - How do I make mailto: links open gmail in Ubuntu?


I've tried using this How-To Geek guide, but it doesn't work. Running the script from the terminal works (although I had to change its permissions first), but clicking on a mailto: link does nothing.


Note: I am using the Chromium Daily Builds for my browser. I would mailto: links in all applications to point to gmail, not just the ones that I click on in my browser.



Answer



As of Ubuntu 10.04, you can simply install the desktop-webmail package. The first time you click a mailto: link, it will ask you to pick your webmail provider. After that, all mailto: links will open in the webmail provider of your choice.
