Hello
I have set up an email using the Insert Link/Email address.
It will not work in preview F5. Just wondering if the site needs to be published for it to work.

Many Thanks

I think you are referring to the mailto method. Mailto is not recommended it is better to use built-in PHP form script.

When you add a email link it uses the mailto: method. What this then does is it will open the email client on your PC or the users PC. The email client can be one of the following gmail, hotmail, yahoo etc. If you haven’t configured this then onclick of the link won't do anything. Using this method isn't recommended as it relies on the user having a email account on there PC configured to send and receive emails.
This is why you should always try to use a "Form" to send emails.

How can you do this when using a Card? It seems that there are no options. Are there any work-arounds?

Have you looked at using a "Button" Link->Link to:

Cards do not support form. If you are using the forms built in script then you might need to mimic the form looking like the card to achieve the trick.
