Use webmail service <- More webmails listed, please

Hello,

When I click a mailto link, I get a "Use webmail service" dialog with a few unknown webmail providers. What about listing at least a few popular webmail providers? (Yes, I know how to add them manually, but that's not the point wink)
Thanks!
Charles.

Aw, you know that Opera only includes the webmail providers that officially support the Opera browser. There could be a usability nightmare otherwise.

Maybe list them but the first time the user selects one of them, he gets a warning explaining that the webmail service isn't officially supported by Opera / use at your own risk.

There's HTML5's registerProtocolHandler. Hopefully, Opera will support this. That way, your webmail can provide an option for you to add the webmail to the list yourself with just a click. And, hopefully, Opera will support a webmailproviders.ini in the user's profile folder so changes are not wiped on upgrade.

But, that's probably going to take a year or 2 or more, so it'd be good to have a bigger list by default now to get us by.
