Set Edge as mailto: default handler
ikjadoon
With the new Edge based on Chromium, the procedure is the same that in Google Chrome:
- Toggle the “Allow sites to ask to become default handlers for protocols (recommended)” to On in Settings.
- Sign in to your Gmail account.
- Click the handler icon in the address bar. It's on the right side, by the star. It looks like two overlapped diamonds. When you hover over it with the mouse, the pop up says “This page wants to install a service handler”.
- A pop up box will appear that says “Allow mail.google.com to open all email links?” choose Allow.
Done 🙂
bitoleg I was pleased to find these instructions and hoping that they would also work for web based O365 Outlook to become default handler for mail. But alas..... Anyone managed to find a way to make that work? Any way to make it work for mailto: links in other desktop apps too?
