    Can't set GMail as default

    Hello!

    I purged evolution and installed Gnome Gmail, but I can't set it as the default mail program as suggested by its description. In the default applications menu, the mail part is greyed out.

    Is that a known problem?

    Best regards,

    Blutkoete

    You should have left evolution installed, and you probably would have been given a choice of mail apps.

    No, I didn't uninstall Evolution on my second computer and GMail isn't a choice for mail reader there as well. So I guess it's simply not working as shown in the videos and written in the text. Or I'm doing something stupid with all my computers which breaks this functionality.

    I'll just wait for a fix.
