As a workaround I use the following setup: ;; === org link abbreviations === (setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("mail" . "https://mail.google.com/a/mydomain.at/#mbox/%s") ))
When I want to link to a mail message in Gmail I click twice into the address line of firefox which conveniently selects the last part of the url (like 1331c8de4ddc74ed) which is kind of a message ID. Then I go to Emacs and copy and paste this ID into my mail link. Regards,
