Question

How do I create a link that when the user clicks, it will bring him to the Google page as shown below (with the To field completed):

Right now, what I’ve managed is to simply link him to https://mail.google.com/mail/#compose and this is what he will see:

Similarly, is there a way to achieve this on hotmail as well?

Answer 1

https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&tf=1&to=[e-mail]&fs=1

This shows the composition screen. To get the whole gmail interface, remove &tf=1.

If you also want to preset a subject, just add &su=YourSubject to the query string
