Doesn't work for me on 3 different browsers: IE,Chrome, nor FireFox.

In the Button Link Href field, I enter mailto:name@gmail.com

IE brings up a new browser page, but not email; the other two simply ignore it. My only guess is that I don't use local email clients such as Outlook--only Gmail and Yahoo.

Anyone run into this before?

That is the big downside to using an email address over a contact form. If your computer does not have a default email client setup, the mailto links will not work.

Use Web Form Builder instead:
