Integration With Web Mail

Post by **bdeonline** » December 2nd, 2002, 7:46 pm

Since Phoenix doesn’t have email program other than using your default mail client. Why not have it integrate with Web Mail. Such as Hotmail, Netscape Mail, Yahoo Mail, ect. So when I click on a email button it sends me to my Web Mail.

If you use the Personal toolbar, I think that's kind of the links it was intended to have in it, no? Pretty much as good as a button, and doesn't need a tweak for every theme.

I don't think that is what I am saying, I mean when I press a
<a href="mailto:whatever.netscape.net">Email Me</a> or to a web form. It opens the compose page of Hotmail, Netscape, or Yahoo Mail automatically

ahhh. Forgot about that. That's a windows-specific bit of code in Internet Options which is meant to assign the default handlers for things, isn't it - and it happens to have Hotmail as an option. As a test, have you tried setting the handler to Hotmail and then clicking a mailto link?

Why don't you just set your homepage to hotmail "compose" and stay logged in unless you log out. Your Home button will direct to hotmail or wherever your mail is.
