Using Gmail App (and not HTC mail) to send web links/images ?

[Guest Maksymilian]

Currently using Gmail app for personal and HTC mail for work accounts.

HTC Hero Rooted MCR 3.1

When browsing on the web and come across an image I want to share via email it seems that its only possible to do this via HTC Mail and not the Gmail app.

Is there anyway I can change this to include Gmail?

Many thanks

I've never used HTC's mail app so this is a bit of a guess, but have you tried going to Settings -> Manage Applications -> Scroll to HTC Mail and click "Clear defaults". It sounds like the first time you shared via email you selected HTC Mail and checked the "Set as default" box. Maybe... :P

In the 'launch by default' section it says 'No defaults set' so must be something else - maybe its just not possible!

Thanks for helping any how.

Looks like this is an HTC function rather than Android as I cant do it either; it would be interesting to hear from those using non HTC 2.1 ROMs to see what options they get? Looks like the only work around is to save the image first then attach it to an email.

I've just had a look. If you try to share an image, it takes you straight to HTC Mail. However, try to share a link and you get a popup asking how you ant to complete the action - via Mail (HTC) or Compose (Gmail).
