Starting Email With Gmail
Hi Experts,
Usually when you want to send an email for a webpage you have
But this would normally trigger the email client on the computer, but how would you do this with Gmail?
This is for a small application and later I will need to add appointments in the Gmail Calendar. I am bringing this up in case I need to have a common setup for both?
Thank you

I would imagine this is not for the general public. From the question I would say this is an internal application so they won't have to cater for any other email clients. If you were doing it for all clients, you'd be as well to just use <a href=mailto... and let the computer decide which client to load.

Yes, it is internal. I will know the user's GMail credentials
But I suspect you might be asking the wrong question. Are you meaning to ask how to send email via Google's smtp server?
