AddThis displaying Maintenance screen for email sharing

Question

The Email sharing screen on AddThis is displaying "maintenance" screen. It has been displaying this for some time.

Is there a way to remove this maintenance page and instead have the email client open automatically when the user clicks on the email button?

Or if there is any alternative please suggest.

I reached out to AddThis support and here's the response I got. Sorry everyone.

Thanks for contacting AddThis Support:)

Currently we don’t have any workaround for this .we will update you accordingly.

We’ve received lot of phishing reports recently that users were using our open form email share functionality to send spam emails. In an effort to prevent security issues we’ll be deprecating our open form email share functionality in favor of a more secure email app experience by 1/11/21.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for understanding!
