"I went into my Google Toolbar and unticked the Use Gmail for MailTo links box. After doing that it worked like a charm"

That worked for me as well, was stumped until I read that. Thanks!

Now I wish there was a way to do this in Chrome (you'd think Google would have that dialed)...

2009-08-31T11:25:11.938-07:00

Did we verify that this does work on Macs? Because firefox doesn't see anything after I enter the information with the correct domain.

Thanks!

Thanks again Tim,

I hate to appear completely stupid, but just to clarify, for me that would mean:

oberlin.edu

correct? Since my email addy is LeeAnn.Lubinski@oberlin.edu - that is what I am assuming.

Thanks for being patient with me!

2009-08-14T13:07:26.309-07:00

Hi LeeAnn -
The domain name is everything after the @ symbol in your email address.
For example - the email address at Appirio for technical support is support@appirio.com

So the domain name I would enter is appirio.com

Hope this helps!

2009-08-14T11:02:09.427-07:00

Tim- Thanks for the comment. I did use that as my template but I am not sure what my domain name is. I assumed my email address and obviously that's wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks!

2009-08-13T12:33:21.262-07:00

@ Town Hall - I haven't used WiseStamp, but I'm guessing you're correct; that however WiseStamp is hooked into Google Apps is being bypassed (in other words, it probably keys off of the clicking of the 'Compose Email' button.

@ LeeAnn - take a look at JayAaroBe's comment on this thread; that may help you if you're having problems with the domain name.
Thanks!

2009-08-13T05:25:57.169-07:00

I tried to do this but it didn't work and I think the problem is that I don't have the domain name correct in the cut/paste "javascript: ....." part. I know it's a completely stupid question, but how do I determine my domain name? Thanks! PS-When this works it will be AWESOME!!!

2009-07-20T00:08:00.107-07:00

worked like a charm for me. thanks. somehow, however, my WiseStamp signature add-in does not get triggered. I noticed that the compose window occupies the full screen without the regular side and top Google navigation bar. which is fine, but that maybe be the problem? is there a work-around? BTW, I use Google Apps.

Thanks

2009-07-07T23:03:57.795-07:00

To the person having problems:

Make sure you change the part of what you pasted from yourdomain.com to your actual domain name. For example, if my domain name is joeshmoe123.com, I would modify the script to look like this:
javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','https://mail.google.com/a/joeshmoe123.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s','Google Apps')

Then hit "Enter."

2009-06-10T19:46:30.215-07:00

To the folks for whom the javascript seems to do nothing; make sure you hit the enter key after pasting and modifying the script.

Thanks for the info. I already had those settings. I didn't mention that I use Firefox on a Mac though.

Still nothing happens when entering the javascript into the address bar.

2009-04-10T10:51:00.000-07:00

Hi Brian - Yes, the address bar is where you enter the command. You might check Tools-Options-Content and make sure that Javascript is enabled.
And go ahead and check Tools-Options-Applications and see if Gmail is an option under mailto.
Good Luck!
Tim

2009-04-02T16:16:00.000-07:00

Thanks, although I don't really get the step where I should copy and paste the following in the address bar:
javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','https://mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s','Google Apps')

Which address bar? If I enter this into the browser address bar where I entered about:config nothing happens. The "Add Application" doesn't show.
