Gmail and Microsoft 'Send to' default Email

When using webmail (GMail) I missed the ability to send e-mails/files directly from Office programs or windows explorer that I did have with Outlook. This can be fixed by using one of the following solutions that become your default windows e-mail program and send the mail & attachment to your draft folder in the webmail app.

  • gAttach - is a simple Gmail soulution - I downloaded and tried this but it didn't work (mails didn't appear in my drafts folder)
  • Affixa - is a little more flexible and works with both webmail accounts and desktop accounts - letting you choose which account to use. I am using Affixa as it worked straight off for me.
  • 1. Download and install Affixa
  • 2. Enter your Webmail & Standard Mail details
  • 3. Then when you 'sand to' in Windows - you can choose how it's sent. Also with v. large files Affixa uploads the file to a server and sends a download link in the e-mail instead of the attachment.
