Ionic 4 / Cordova: Open Phone's default email app (not composer view)

Ionic Native
1

Hi!
I am quite new to Ionic and I found a lot of solutions in this forum already.
Now I have one question:
Is there a way to open the phones (cordova) default email app (Gmail, outlook, etc)?

I found the “email composer” (https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer) plugin but as far as I understand, this only allows to open the email app to write a new email.

My use case: I send the user a signup link and want to redirect him after that to his/her default email app by button click.

Thanks for the help!

@facunob1974, unfortunately not. I am sure there must be a way but I did not find any. Also still interested in a solution

did you ever manage to find a solution?

I think this plugin allows you to open any application on the user’s device.

Almost sure that i’m too late. But i ran into a similar requirement. And i didn’t find any plugins that provide such simple functionality. So here is my solution: GitHub - Fomenko-developer/cordova-default-mail-opener

Only android currently, and a proxy for browser ( will open new tab just for testing )

Do you know if it’s also possible to open the standard mail program ?

Did anyone figure out opening the device’s default email app’s inbox?
