I'm wondering if it is possible to extend Gmail, by adding a button in email context menu or other control. My Goal is to export mail or selected mails to external server.
Is it possible to accomplish that using Gmail Gadget or Google Apps Script?
If adding a custom control isnt possible i will accept any other way to export mails and integrate gmail with external system.
To extend your gmail interface, you can write a contextual gadget. See https://developers.google.com/gmail/contextual_gadgets for getting started.
You can also achieve the same i.e. read an email and post it to an external server by using Google Apps Script. Read the documentation of GMailApp to get started
GMailApp doesn't support UIs and Dialogs as well as Events and Triggers.

For Personal knowledge management (PKM), it would be useful to be able to get a link that opens a specific email (opening in the application MAIL, more precisely). I believe this is possible for online-based email systems like gmail. Would this be possible for desktop-based applications, like MAIL (Mac)? This would facilitate a lot PKM workflows. Thanks in advance!
I have developed a dashboard in Power BI that I would like to embed in an email body - Outlook, Gmail etc. Is this possible please and has anyone been successful at doing this?
No, embedding requires a lot of javascript code and a modern browser to work. Currently it is not possible to get this working in an e-mail body, because it will violate event basic security policies. Embed it in a web application hosted somewhere (or if the recipients has access to it, you can leave it in Power BI Service) and send and link to it (you can add an image if you want) in the e-mail.
I would like some assistance with this matter as I've only been able to get a regular email to open directly from sheets when inserting an E-Mail Hyperlink.
The current code that I have is =hyperlink("mailto:#gmail.com&Subject=TEst&Body=TEst%0Aand%0ATest%202", "Email").
I need a way for the link to open specific outlook email templates that are located on my desktop.
Thank you for any light you can shed on the subject.
Best,

There is no way to get the job done.
If you use an Internet Explorer you may consider automating Outlook from a script. But this solution will not work in other browsers. See Compose and Send E-mail from JavaScript by using Outlook Automation 2007 for more information.
The only possible solution for all browsers is to use the mailto: protocol for opening a pre-filled new mail item.
I am so confused. My simple requirement is: i have an application which contains confirmation form i.e. nib file. It contains some textFields like name, age, email etc. I simply want when somebody click on submit button application send background and automatic email to email defined in textField. that email contain all information like name, age etc. User need not to fil anything and it should work in background. There are so many application do the same thing. I am creating booking application.
So how can i impliment this behaviour.
Apple does not provide a way to do this - and for good reason. Sending emails from the phone automatically introduces a lot of security risks.
I am willing to bet that the apps that do this use an intermediary server to which they post the data. When the data is posted then the server handles the sending of the emails.
To do this:
Send an HTTPS POST request to your server application.
From your server application, send an email via SMTP (or APIs built on top of SMTP).
Google AppEngine provides a simple and cheap way to create such a web service, running on top of Google's cloud-computing infrastructure. The sending mail from AppEngine help document includes detailed examples of how to send mail from your server application (assuming you use the Python version of Google AppEngine).
Unfortunately, there is no official feature for this but you could download a third-party library. Refer here for a couple of suggestions.
How do I use Google Apps' email services to send mail using the CodeIgniter email class? The email class seems to prefer SMTP, and I was going through the clients Google Apps account. I can't find any place within the Google Apps settings for SMTP. Does anyone know of a solution for this issue?
Right you don't find it because CodeIgniter uses the "mail" PHP function.
For some reasons only the most drunken PHP core developer knows about - this function do not support SMTP and worse even the admin can't configure SMTP usuage on Unix (it is possible to do this on windows - making the PHP design look even more crazy).
There are a few SMTP libraries out there that can handle SMTP Email, just use them
http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/
http://swiftmailer.org/
or the Email classes from the Zend Framework which are uncoupled from the rest so easy to use with CodeIgniter.
Here is a blog post detailing instructions:

Extract From link:
Why send email with Gmail rather than
the server's SMTP configuration? There
are a number of advantages I see for
doing this: Ability to develop locally
and test email sending functionality
without going to lengths to setup a
local mail server. Ability to utilise
Google Apps emails to send email from
emails which are on your own domain.
Ability to have a reference of the
mail you send using this method in the
"sent" folder on your Gmail account.
