    Hi, I need to sending email by invoking default mail client.
    The object
    QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("mailto:..."
    works perfectly on Linux but not on Windows.
    Can someone suggest me a way to resolve on Windows?
    Have you got some lines of code to resolve using the Windows api?
    Regards.

      My last information is, that it's nor possible to send E-Mails on Windows or to invoke the default windows E-Mail client.

      I ended up using a dummy gmail account and QSslSocket to send data via E-Mail on Windows

      Q: What's that?
      A: It's blue light.
      Q: What does it do?
      A: It turns blue.

        Really?

        @mrdebug

        QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("mailto:..."

        works perfectly on Linux but not on Windows.

        Just to be clear: this opens a physical, interactive window for the user to type email into and send. It does not allow you to compose the email from code. Correct/intended?

          IIRC then yes, but my task was to combine it with an attachment, so maybe there comes the restriction in ?🤷‍♂️

            The most important problem for me is the attachment.
