Do mailto links count as backlinks for Google PageRank purposes?

Question

I want link to another site with an email like admin@example.com. So the link will have the href=mailto:admin@example.com.

Does that count as a backlink to example.com and transfer any Google PageRank?

Answer 1

NO.

The mailto: links are considered as normal links and are never considered as backlinks and do not transfer any Google PageRank.
