Mailto: in Classic Interface

[damianharkin]

I use classic.fastmail.com Last week I discovered that mailto: links don't work any more. They work in the new fastmail interface. After asking fastmail for help I received this yesterday:

Hi

Unfortunately with the recent security changes, mailto links no longer work with the classic UI sorry."

Really? Why continue to run the classic interface if it doesn't work?

I infer from your number of posts that you don't hang around here much The reason classic has not been retired is that there are quite a few users who are strongly attached to it. Not a large percentage of the whole userbase, I'm sure, but a very vocal one here on the forum

As FM continue to develop their backend system in order to keep improving the usability, security, etc, of the current/newer web client (and other things), some of those changes are not compatible with the classic client. Thus, classic gradually degrades over time. But FM keeps offering it to satisfy those users who are reluctant to change over.

I checked several mailto links and they worked fine in the Classic interface.

I need to temporarily get back to the Classic interface. Can you tell me how to do that?

You may have to type in your full email address, or change the end of the link with .net or what ever you normally use to log in
