Would it be nice that when you click email link (maito) in your browser you could directly send email from your organizations’s Google Apps hosted service? (Google Apps is GMail + Google Docs for corporate/organizations with own domain name).

Here are instructions how to achieve it.

1. Firefox

Follow instructions by Steve Novoselac.

2. Opera

Here are instructions for Opera 10:

• You have file webmailproviders.ini where web mail backends are lsited
• This file is located in Applications/Opera (you need to right click and choose Show package contents) and Resources/defaults/webmailproviders.ini (on OSX, for Windows Linux follow the instruction links below)
• Add the email provider description as below. Note that you need to change Google Apps domain name to your link. After saving the file you need to restart opera. You don’t need icon if you don’t have one.
• Then restart Opera, choose Preferences -> Advanced -> Programs -> mailto -> your email account.

[DOMAIN_NAME]
ID=8
URL=https://mail.google.com/hosted/DOMAIN_NAME?extsrc=mailto&url=%s
ICON=https://mail.google.com/favicon.ico
