Quick Send Email - User Guide

Your Guide to Effortless Emailing: Web, App, & Manual Options

We’ve updated our email tools to ensure you can send content regardless of whether you use a desktop application or a web browser. Depending on your preference, you can now trigger a local app, launch a web-based draft, or copy content manually.

Current Compatibility & Button Behaviour

How to use the Email Feature effectively

1. Gmail & Outlook Buttons

If you don't use a desktop app and prefer working in a browser, these buttons bypass your system settings entirely.

• Action: Click the Gmail or Outlook button.

• Result: A new browser tab opens with the recipient, subject line, and body content automatically pre-filled in the web interface.

2. Open in Mail App

Use this if you have a dedicated email program installed on your computer.

• Action: Click the link.

• Result: Your computer's default mail client (like Apple Mail or Outlook Desktop) will launch a new compose window.

• Note: If this opens the "wrong" app, you'll need to adjust your system's MAILTO protocol settings (see Pro Tip below).

3. The "Copy" Method (The Fail-Safe)

If you use a specialised email provider or are on a restricted public computer, this is the most reliable path.

• Action: Click the Copy button.

• Result: The entire draft is saved to your clipboard. Simply open your email, hit "Compose," and paste (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) the content.

Pro Tip: Changing your Default Mail App

If the Open in Mail App button triggers an app you don't use:

• On Mac: Open the Mail App > Settings > General > Set "Default email reader."

On Windows: Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Search for "Link Types" and ensure your preferred app is selected for the MAILTO protocol
