Gmail

Para aquellos que usen Gmail para gestionar el correo (tanto de Gmail, como de otras cuentas), pueden configurar Gnome para que trate Gmail como el gestor de correo predeterminado. Para ello hace falta crear un archivo llamado gnome-gmail que contenga:

 #!/bin/sh
 
 # gnome-gmail - a script that passes gnome mailto links to gmail in your browser

 # Ask GNOME for the web browser command.
 BROWSER=`gconftool-2 –get ‘/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command’ | cut -f1 -d’ ‘ `
 
 # If no arguments just start gmail
 if test -z “${*}”
   then
     ${BROWSER} “http://www.gmail.com”
     exit
 fi
 
 # Grab all command line parameters and strip mailto: if it exists.
 TOMAIL=`echo “${*}” | sed -e ’s/mailto://g’`
 TOMAIL=`echo “$TOMAIL” | sed -e ’s/?/&/g’`
 TOMAIL=`echo “$TOMAIL” | sed -e ’s/&subject=/&su=/g’` 
 
 # This is the URL Yahoo! Companion and Yahoo! Toolbar uses to send email:
 TOURL=”https://gmail.google.com/gmail?view=cm&cmid=0&fs=1&tearoff=1&to=”
 
 # Print out what we are about to do
 echo ${BROWSER} “${TOURL}${TOMAIL}”
 
 # Execute mail command
 ${BROWSER} “${TOURL}${TOMAIL}” 

Luego lo guardamos en /usr/bin/ y le damos los permisos

$ sudo cp gnome-gmail /usr/bin 
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/gnome-gmail

Finalmente vamos a Sistema -> Preferencias -> Aplicaciones preferidas, en 'Lector de correo' seleccionamos personalizar y en la cajita de texto escribimos: gnome-gmail %s
