is it possible to make the Contact link in the sidebar a simple mailto: instead of going to a physical page? thanks

This can be done, but the easiest would be to use some simple Javascript, because X3 tries to create relative links from your email links. This will also help bypass bots that attempt to collect emails for spamming.

1. Create an empty placeholder page, for example "mail" /mail/.
2. Add the following to Settings > Custom > Custom Javascript
   Code Select all

   var mail = document.querySelector('[href$="/mail/"]');
   if(mail) mail.href = 'mailto:someone@somewhere.com';

3. For the page, you can of course change the LABEL option so that it displays however you like in the actual menu.

got it working, thanks
