Actually, the one who is in charge of making this work (in case of Yahoo! mail) is not Google nor Chrome, but Yahoo!. Their application is not configured to support Chrome (through an NPAPI plugin or something, if possible - I do not know). The fault of Google\Chrome could be that there is no option to add this feature currently (maybe it is doable only via extensions and the extensions system is not ready yet), but the feature itself is in the responsibility of Yahoo!\any other mail vendor.
Though I am sure some userscript or bookmarklet can make this work without changing anything in Chrome. Regarding Outlook and GMail, there is an option to use GMail with Outlook and even Outlook Express. You need to enable IMAP or POP3 for your GMail account and set up the account in the requested application. Enable IMAP or POP3 for your GMail account - https://mail.google.com/mail/#settings/fwdandpop And for each of them (IMAP and POP3), click on the "Configuration instructions" link. It will show you exactly how to use GMail with an desktop e-mail client. ☆PhistucK On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 03:17, alexandrojv <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yeah that seems to be a problem with Chrome, I use Yahoo mail, and for > some reason it won't open the email link on a yahoo page, it always > opens the outlook thing.
