New York, NY – April 11th, 2017 – Kiwi for Gmail 2.0, the top-rated Mac app for Gmail and G Suite, is now available on Windows. For the first time, PC users will be able to experience Google Apps in a whole new way by moving their email and documents beyond the constraints of the browser to make people more productive on their desktops.

If you use Gmail on the Web, and you often encounter email links on various web pages that launch in the stock Mail app on your Mac, then I can understand your pain. A link opening in an email client that you do not use just does not make sense.

In this article we are going to show you how to change your default Mail app to the Gmail website so that all of your future clicks on email links open there rather than the stock Mail app.

Configuring various web browsers, namely Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, to use the Gmail website as the default Mail app is fairly easy, and here’s how you can go about doing that on your machine.

Setting the Gmail Website as the Default Mail App in Google Chrome

1. Launch Google Chrome on your Mac.

2. Head to the Gmail website and log in to your account.

3. Once you are in your inbox, in the address bar of your browser you should be able to see an icon that looks like the one shown in the following screenshot. You need to click on it and select “Allow” and then click on “Done.”

The steps above are to allow the Gmail website to open all of the email links and not redirect you to the stock Mail app. You have successfully configured Chrome to open all of the email links in the Gmail website.

You can confirm that by going into “Chrome settings -> Content settings” and clicking on “Manage handlers…” You should see that the “mailto” type of links now point to “mail.google.com,” which is the Gmail website.

Setting the Gmail Website as the Default Mail App in Mozilla Firefox

1. Launch Firefox on your Mac.

2. Click on the “Firefox” menu and then select “Preferences…” to be taken to the Firefox Settings panel. That is where all of the Firefox configuration options reside.

3. When the Preferences panel opens, head to the tab that says “Applications.” In that tab you will find a Content Type that says “mailto,” and next to it is a drop-down menu where you can specify what app should be used to open this type of content, i.e. email links.
