How to configure the mailto: protocol?

[Redglyph]

Description of the issue:
When I click on the submit button of a mailto: form, nothing happens.
There is no way to configure how Brave should handle this protocol.
Note that I’m not using an email client; I’m using Gmail, but the point is moot until there’s a way to configure that anyway.

How can this issue be reproduced?

• Open a page with a mailto: form (for ex. https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_mail)
• Fill in the data (optional in the example URL above)
• Click on the submit button (Send in the example above)

Expected result:

• If the browser isn’t configured: the browser asks the user what to do, or at least, the browser should have a configuration for mailto:
• if the browser is configured: act accordingly

Brave Version( check About Brave):

v1.73.89

Additional Information:

OS: Windows 10 x64
In Windows, my default app for Email is Brave.

I searched for a while, both in the settings - there are none related to mail handlers - and on the Internet.

I found a few deprecated posts mentioning a brave://settings/handlers, but

• there is no apparent way to get to this configuration page from the menus (why is it hidden?)

• this configuration page doesn’t let the user add a new handler. Here is a screenshot:

  

So I deduce that this feature isn’t working correctly (or has it been removed?).

Brave as default browser fails to work - Application not Found

@clifton wrote about protocol handling back in 2018, and there were some updated interests, some backlog of the project, and then . . . I am not sure I am not sure where or when the project will obtain legs for a run at a finish. Found:

That doesn’t sound promising.

With that and the now almost impossible-to-use bookmarks, I’m afraid I’ll have to switch browser again.

I came here also stuck but found a solution from your mention of brave://settings/handlers.

1. Go to the page and make sure you click the cross against the email handler that you might have previously rejected email handling for (I had mail.proton.me here originally, and you can still see mail.protonmail.com on there).
   

   

2. Open the email website that you want. For proton.me, if you have multiple user accounts like I do, the two-diamond icon will reappear after you select the user account on the right of the search bar. Click on allow.
   

   

Job done!

Hello everybody!
The problem is that you also need to change the default browser in windows, make sure Brave is the default one.
It helped me .
