Hi Dani,

You can use following Action:

Action Type: External

Action : Open URL

And then type the url of the mail in the URL box which you want to open on click of the text box.

Yeah, that way you can open a web based mail, might be something like : www.gmail.com

If you want to open an application (Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes), may be you can try with the action "Launch"
