Gmail Chrome Extension How-to Video

If you’re a Gmail and Chrome user like I am, you would probably enjoy tighter integration between the two products.

When browsing with Chrome, if you click a “mailto:” link, your default email client will start instead of your Gmail account.

The solution presented here, relies on installing a Chrome extension (a special script) that will start a Gmail compose dialog whenever you click a mailto link.

This special PC Remedies video will take you through the steps necessary to download and setup the extension.

The link to download the Gmail Chrome extension is located on the Chrome Plugins discussion forum. Click the link below and search for the post by the user “PAEz”. He is the developer who made this possible for our use and we owe him a vote of thanks.
