 Both of us are using Xfce.  Firefox isn't listed by default as an email
 application (That's the first thing I checked.) and I don't know if it's
 possible to get it to open up gmail in a compose window with the proper
 email address.

How about using the following in a script:


#!/bin/bash

firefox https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailtourl=${@};


Where ${@} is any mailto url like this: mailto:u...@example.com.

We're far beyond Firefox 3 now, but this option still seems to exist
in FF14, I haven't tried it either.

   I tried this and it works. It brings up firefox and a google page

That was the objective, to bring up compose addressed according to the
mailto link.  If you just want to view/read your emails, you can just
change the url to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox;.  If you
want specific labels, you can try something like this:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#label/name_of_label

You can even link to specific email threads from your records/notes like
this:

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#all/1394076b7582f296;

The above should take you to the current thread on _my_ Gmail account.
Of course you can't view it since you can't login as me :-p.  The hash
in the url uniquely identifies the thread in my Gmail account.

Hope this helps.

   Yes, that all works well. I signed in as bobgood...@wilblue.net and
   it brought up my gmail account, different i.d. and password.

   I found I could even configure gmail for white text on black which I
   prefer. Never found a way to log out? Not sure what I'll do with
   it but as I said earlier it's interesting and good to know.

This feature is still in 15 and 16.

You should not pay any attention to the numbers. Just update to the next
release for the security fixes, bug fixes, and feature enhancements.

15  16 are out there. !5 is scheduled for release Aug 28, 2012. And the
Nightly will then be 18.0a1.

Re: Question about Preferred Applications

In other words:  you enter to Gmail webpage, click on  Write  or
New  and write a new email.  Or click on  Reply  and write your
answer to a email received.
All of this, you are doing it inside the Google Mail webpage.  Is not a
program.  
If you want use Gmail as a predeterminate email program, you have to set
up an email client.  In example:  Thunderbird.  It is 5 seconds.  You
enter your Gmail data  (user and password)  and Thunderbird does the
rest.

I hope you can understand what I wrote because I'm a Spanish speaker,
and sometimes I don't know how to express my ideas in English very well.

Firefox is NOT an email client, so it will not open with Gmail, it will
open as what it is:  a web browser.
If you want open Gmail automatically, go to Thunderbird and set it up
the Gmail account.  You can use POP  (download mails to your computer,
leaving the originals in the server)  or  IMAP  (synchronize all your
folders and mails between server and your computer).  This is as you
like it.
You will send and receive from Thunderbird  (and configure it as
default mail program).

snip

If I understand what you want.

I do not believe that you can open FF and have it logged into Gmail. And
IMHO, that would not be a good thing to do anyway.

However you can have FF open to the Gmail login screen.

Start FF  goto the Gmail login URL  then (in FF)  Tools  Options 
General  Startup  Home Page  Use Current.

That should set FF to Start on the Gmail login page. It works like that
here when I just now tried it.

You can create a new menu item for your browser (either manually or
using alacarte) that handles the correct mime types for mail and adds
the correct gmail URL to the command. I don't know how gmail's URL
schemes work but you may need a wrapper script to munge it somehow (it
looks like the requested URL is passed in as %u in the desktop files).

Put it in '.local/share/applications' for a single user or
'/usr/share/applications' to make it available to all users.

Will probably take some fiddling to get it working right but I use this
to run gnome-terminals with specific command line options.

You probably want at least these two:

MimeType=message/rfc822;x-scheme-handler/mailto;


Categories=Network;Email;

This is the .desktop I use for the terminal: http://fpaste.org/OIBt/

Bryn.

You should be able to go to settings and then Preferred Applications or

Both of us are using Xfce.  Firefox isn't listed by default as an email

possible to get it to open up gmail in a compose window with the proper

 Default Applications. It all depends on the DE in use.

 Which Desktop is she using?
 
 Both of us are using Xfce.  Firefox isn't listed by default as an email
 application (That's the first thing I checked.) and I don't know if it's
 possible to get it to open up gmail in a compose window with the proper
 email address.


You could just configure Thunderbird to use Gmail's IMAP/SMTP servers.

Im not sure if you can set it to use Firefox and have it open Gmail
correctly or not.
