I want to make Google Chrome default mail app, in other word I want to make Google Chrome to open "mailto" content type like Firefox as mentioned in this answer in my Gmail in Google Chrome.
Also I have gone to "Settings > Details > Default Application" to make Google Chrome default Mail application, but it is not available in the Mail list. What should I do?

Listen, the easy way to do this is open xfce4-settings-manager as root either with
sudo bash
xfce4-settings-manager
or
gksu xfce4-settings-manager
then select preferred apps, and under browsers select other then paste:
/usr/bin/X11/chromium-browser
close it and you are good for all users, forever. :D
You can make Chrome open when you click a mailto: link:
Access Gmail, and click an icon of the shape of overlapped double diamonds, next to the star icon in the omni-box where the URL is displayed.
If you don't see it, try reloading the page.

If you somehow missed the opportunity and said 'no' after the diamond question, your chance to undo that is under chrome://settings/handlers, where gmail will be listed as handler-question-blocked.

This has to do with modern websites offering "service handlers". First, make sure you allow service handlers in Chrome, then allow Gmail to use its service handler.
