Message: Email Client Not Configured [ Edited ]

[omairharo…]

I am using Sage Act! 2012 with Gmail integration. When I select a contact and try to write them an email using the Write > Email message (from template), it tells me that I do not have email client configured. This means Gmail integration would render the write email function useless. This would mean Gmail is not completely integrated and I would not be able to use the convenience of writing emails to customers using templates (mail merge). Please correct me if I am wrong. But doesn't that means that Gmail integration is only limited to a certain extent of recording history?

[edit: Subject to match issue]

Does ACT 2012 have built in Integration with Gmail or do you still have to go through all kinds of hassles?

Thank you,

Poweruser

ACT! 2012 integration with Gmail is to record history items for emails sent through Gmail.  The ACT! program will not initiate a new email using Gmail.  

Google integration also includes synchronizing your ACT! contacts and calendar with the Google contacts and calendar.
