Add Nextcloud Mail as an application for mailto-links?

I have a german installation and the newly added mail-app (cool tool) prompts:

  • where will the ‘mailto-link’ be added to what?
  • i thought a mailto-link will be a link to an E-mail adress like: dummy@example.com. So what can a mailto-link to the Nextcloud mail-app mean?
  • what does the link do if You use it?
  • where can i change this setting later on?

please have mercy on me: i am new to modern programming (typed my first “10 for i=0 to 10;” in the late 70th though)

  • can i find an according documentation?
  • maybe someone gets me tuned in as a mentor or tutor so i can start and contribute (UX, tests, documentation)?

Mail link in that context just means that if you click on an mailto:example@test.de link, that nextcloud mail will be used to create a mail…
…to try it out, just click on the link above…

Thank You. So this popup is produced by the browser (Firefox) that adds Nextcloud to the list of E-mail clients to choose from for dealing with a mailto:link.

Now i would expect it to open a “new mail” with the according preset ‘to:’ field.
In my installation weird things happen. A frame in a frame is opened and presents a ‘reply to:’ one of the last mails i had read.

hmmm… report issues or errors was somewhere on github. I’ll find out where. Is there a list of known issues?

Hallo,
ich habe ebenfalls ein Problem mit Nextcloud Mail und mailto: Wenn ich den Link benutze wechelt der Browser zwar zu Nextcloud Mail, aber der Rahmen für für den Achrichteneditor bleibt leer. Es gibt kein An: Feld und auch kein Feld für den Nachrichtentext. Hat jemand eine Lösung dafür?
Freundliche Grüße

Hi,

I’ve searched for information about this, but I’ve not found anything up to date.

Nextcloud Mail does not yet have native support for managing mailto links directly, is it correct?

Thanks in advance and regards!
