Any time you click on a link that currently opens GroupWise to send an email (for example from the Drew Directory), the browser needs to know what email program you are using in order to open a "Compose Email" window. Now that we have switched over to Google Mail, you'll need to make sure that your browser points to your Drew Google Mail account to send email.
You have a choice to install the Google Notifier, which will change your default mail setting in all browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer), or you can manually change the setting in Firefox (instructions below).
Here's how to install Notifier:
In any browser, navigate to Google Notifier.
Choose the Notifier download file for your operating system (Windows or Mac).
During the install, choose a standard installation (defaults to "Use for outgoing mail").
You will be prompted for your username and password. Enter your full email address and your password.
The next time you click on an email link, you will be directed to Gmail.
Please remember: If, after clicking on the mailto link, you see a login page that says Google but not Drew, only type in your Drew email address (no password). This will bring you to a uLogin screen, where you can enter your username and password, or directly to the compose window if you are already logged in to iChain.
Here's how to set this up in Firefox:
Open Firefox and pull down the menu in the upper left corner (if you are using a different/earlier version of Firefox, go to the Tools pull-down menu and choose Options).
Go to Tools and select Options, then Options (again):
In Options, choose the Applications Tab and locate "mailto" in the list under Content Type:
Pull down the menu where it currently says "Use Novell GroupWise ..." and Select "Use Gmail"
Before you close the Options box, click OK to save the setting.
This will enable Firefox to choose your Gmail account when you click on any link that should point to email.
