This page is to help troubleshoot mailto link issues. Sometimes a computer or cellphone isn't setup yet to handle them. This can be easily solved with the right help.
Try using this troubleshooting page to setup your computer or cellphone to handle mailto links.
If you can't solve it, please contact Mr. Richard Kochel at:
CHROME BROWER
Goal: Enable protocol handlers in settings (chrome://settings/handlers)
BRAVE BROWSER
To make Brave use mailto links, enable protocol handlers by navigating to brave://settings/handlers and ensuring "Sites can ask to handle protocols" is active. Open your webmail (e.g., Gmail) and click the "handler" icon (two diamonds) in the address bar to allow it to handle email links. For desktop apps, ensure Brave is set as your system's default browser.
SAFARI BROWER
To make Safari use mailto links, set your default email application on macOS via the Apple Mail app settings or install browser extensions for webmail services like Gmail. On macOS, go to Mail > Settings > General and change the "Default email reader". On iOS, change the default app in Settings > Mail > Default Mail App.
iOS (iPhone/iPad Safari)
Go to Settings > Mail (or settings for your specific browser app like Chrome/Firefox) and select the "Default Mail App".
If the app you want to use is not listed, you must download it from the App Store first, as Safari inherits the system-wide default app.
If mailto links do not work, ensure an email account is actively set up in the Apple Mail app.
On iOS, if an email app fails to open, it may not support the mailto protocol, requiring a switch to a different app.
