Abstract
A system for sending an email through a web based email provider while using a web application includes a web application server and a web based email application server. The web application server displays a web page at a client having at least one selectable link, receives an instruction from the client requesting an email through selection of the selectable link, creates a redirect message for accessing the web based email provider, and sends the redirect message to the client. The web based email application server receives the redirect message, displays an email composition web page at the client, receives a completed email from the client, and sends the completed email to an email server for delivery.
