For that you have to set a href='mailto:[emailID]' for the column Email. Remember you must have outlook installed on your system.
Your Template column should be like

ASP.NET

<asp:templatefield xmlns:asp="#unknown">
   <itemtemplate>
       <a href="<%# "mailto:"+Eval("Name").ToString() %>">Mail</a>
   </itemtemplate>
</asp:templatefield>

You need set OUTLOOK as your default email app and then in your application(gridview) make sure that your email link are in following format. You just need to provide the value in correct format to the href attribute.

HTML

<a href="mailto:receipient@domain.com">receipient@domain.com</a>

Hope, it helps :)
