I have Fedora installed and I use both Chrome and Firefox so if someone wants to tell me exactly what they want me to do as a test I am happy to do that.

versions:

Fedora 36 5.18.17-200.fc36.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Aug 11 14:36:06 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

evolution-3.44.4-1.fc36.src.rpm

firefox-103.0.2-1.fc36.src.rpm

chrome Version 104.0.5112.79 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Thanks
Luigi

Mailer: Evolution 3.44.4 (by Flathub.org)

I have confirmed MailTo from Chrome works on Evolution 3.44.1-0ubuntu1 installed from Ubuntu Software on my daily driver. It does not work on Evolution Flatpak 3.44.4 on Chrome on any of my systems. I am going to try a brand new install of a non Ubuntu based distro like Fedora on my test device.

Interestingly I found I was having the same exact issue with my Ubuntu
22.01.1 on the generic 5.15 on my daily driver (my Home laptop is
running Pop OS 22.04.1 with the latest 5.19 kernel). On my Ubuntu
machine Evolution not longer showed up as an option in Default
Applications. I completely removed the Evolution flatpak then tried to
install it from Apt (sudo apt install evolution-ews) and still no dice
on mailto or even showing up in the Default Application setting. I
removed the apt and then installed again with $ sudo apt install
evolution but again no dice. I then decided to bite the bullet and
install Evolution from Ubuntu Software (version 3.44.1-0ubuntu1 ),
which I try to avoid, and boom! It shows up in my Default Applications
and now Mailto links work perfectly. I am not as crazy about the look
of the Snap version but I am functional now so I will mess with my Pop
OS laptop to troubleshoot but I am thinking whatever recent update both
my devices have in common borked something.

And when clicking a MailTo link I get this Chrome output when
Evolution is the default:

gpg-agent[6]: directory '/home/michael/.gnupg' created
gpg-agent[6]: directory '/home/michael/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d'
created
gpg-agent: a gpg-agent is already running - not starting a new one
Gtk-Message: 09:20:39.393: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"
Failed to initialize gtk+: Cannot open display:

If it can't open the display, then that is a fairly serious things -

there's no way that Evolution can start if it can't do that. Are you

doing this directly on the console of the machine or is it a remote

session? Are you running Xorg or Wayland? Is the chrome running on a

different (virtual) machine? Is chrome running in a sandbox?
