Hi,

hitting a "mailto"-link will always open the "default" mail application. This is the specified behaviour.

You will need to write a "mail"-application in java as portlet which uses Liferay's mail API to send emails.

kind regards

Hi,

Does anyone know how to configure Liferay to read from ROOT.xml when there is mailto added ? Currently, when I click at mailto, it will direct the link to the local mail application and refer to the mail settings in the mail application.
Please help. Thanks

use this in ur root.xml file

<Resource
name="mail/MailSession"
auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.imap.host="smtp.gmail.com"
mail.pop.host="smtp.gmail.com"
mail.store.protocol="imap"
mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com"
mail.smtp.port="465"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"
mail.smtp.user="urgmailid@gmail.com"
password="urgmailpassword"
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"
/>

HTH.
