It’s more simple and fast then you think:
- Open System Settings -> Default Applications -> Email Client
- Check “Use a different email client“
- type the following: /usr/bin/rekonq https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=%t&su=%s&%u
Where instead of /usr/bin/rekonq, you must type the path to your favorite browser. %t is the destinatary, %s is the subject and %u is the full mailto URL (needed if you want to add the body too).
Kheers!
Hi
First of all Thanks for your useful post. Have a look
Uses of Gmail
Thank you! I added this page to bookmark)) I think would be useful …
Thanks to author a blog, I actually saved a lot of time! I would go again!
Very informative post – just what I was looking for.
However, further research led me to this:
kioclient exec https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%u
kioclient is cool in that it will open your default browser!

Thanks for this information!
