Configuring Gmail for Synergy

Use the following instructions to configure Chrome or Firefox to open Google Mail when you click on an email address link in a webpage. 

Windows Setting

In the “Type here to search” box, put in “Default Apps” and then click on it.

The first entry on the right is probably going to be “Email”. Click on the icon and select Google Chrome.

This tells Windows to use Google Chrome to open email links. This is not enough though, you will probably also need to set the setting below WITHIN Chrome as well.

Chrome Browser Instructions

1. Open your Chrome Browser and go to https://mail.google.com

2. You may be prompted by Google Mail to open email links, click on Allow. You are all set and do not need to follow the rest of these instructions.

3. If you see a double-diamond icon on the right side of the address bar, click on it.
   
   

Click on Allow, then click on Done

4. If you do not see the double-diamond icon, type chrome://settings/handlers in your address bar and hit the Enter key to verify your settings.
   
   If you see the Default text appear underneath mail.google.com, then Google Mail is already your default email program. If Default is not visible, either click on the 3-dots icon and click Remove to reset your settings. Go back to step #1.

Firefox Browser Instructions

1. Click on in the top-right corner, then click on Settings

2. Search for applications in the top-right corner

3. In the Applications area, scroll down to mailto and select the Action to "Use Gmail".
