Title: Set roundcube as default email client
Post by: apoullidis1 on November 25, 2013, 02:53:27 AM

Hello,
I would like to set roundcube as the default client for emails. For example, when I press a "mailto" link, I need the webmail to run and ready to send an email to that address.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

You can set the mailto: handler in User Interface under settings.

thanks for your answer but this will work only on the "mailto" links while browsing. Is there any way to set it as Default client for ALL applications on windows?

No. Since Roundcube is a web application, Windows can't see it, all it can see is whatever browser you are using to run it in. To set as the Windows Default mail application, a mail client needs to be installed locally.

There was a method to do that, I think using Chrome that will capture all mailto: links across the system. Its been a while since I used Windows full time so I don't remember the exact setup.
