Making Gmail your default Mail application 

You can designate Gmail as your default mailto handler. This means that when you click on any hyperlinked email address, a Gmail compose window will open so you can send a message to that address from Gmail.

To Install in Windows, do the following

  1. Download the Gmail Notifier

  2. Right-click the Notifier icon in your system tray, and select Options.

  3. Check the box next to Use Gmail for internet mailto: links

  4. Click OK

If you decide later that you don't want to use Gmail as your default email application, simply uncheck the box.

Note: The Notifier is currently available in English only.
