Apple should really consider supporting the use of external email clients when clicking on a mailto: link. Reminding me of a deceitful lawyer, they allowed you to remove default email client, however even if you have Gmail.app installed and tap on a mailto: link it displays a popup telling you to install Mail.app instead of allowing you to choose Gmail or another Email client. Same for http/https links. I prefer to use 1Pasword instead of Safari.

Yeah it would be nice of them to allow that. Personally I don't care since I would never use Gmail but I can understand how that would be frustrating.

What email service do you use? I think Google is secure and they have never deleted or altered an email of mine as far as I know.

I use Gmail but a common (and at the very least reasonable) complaint is that they must do at least some level of data collection to give personalized Gmail ads.
