All things Gmail.
 

Who has a "report bugs" link in thier gmail?

In my main/1st account I do not, but in another newer one I do, it allows me to report a bug to gmail.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

No report bugs here. just a new 'contacts' list.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Nope, i do remember that i used to have it but it seems to have gone.....

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Hmm, maybe it goes over time, the other account does not get used much, so maybe thats why.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

*phew* At last, they've added a Save as Draft feature! That was driving me nuts for a while.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Cool . that will be handy.
I wonder if they are ever going to allow forwarding rules? that would be really handy.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

THEY HAVE!

Forwarding is now available in the mail settings, forward or forward & keep copy.
Superb.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I've heard that you need an invitation for Gmail. I was hoping that somebody would be so kind as to send me and invitation at cumberlan_sausage@hotmail.com as I am in desperate need of that extra space.

Thanks a lot

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Yes, you do need an invite.

There's already an invite request thread running here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=13722

... which you seem to have already spammed, along with other gmail related threads :td:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

all his posts are about the same thing!!


ahem

I do not have one of the report bugs buttons.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Yep, they certainly were. It's been dealt with now, so please stay on topic :)


Neither do I. The new features look handy though.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

SMH, and other Mac users with a GMail account:

I had a spare moment so I thought i'd have a bash at trying to get the linux version of GMailFS working on the Mac.

Basically, the bit I am stuck on is this: I'm trying to compile FUSE (a library GMailFS needs) for FreeBSD. But to do it, it needs the Darwin source code directory. I have looked, but I can't find it on my HD, or XCode CD. I found the source code download on the ADC, but it is all split up, and I can't see which part of the source code would have the kernel (which is the part it needs. Technically, I think it is all part of the kernel. To give you an idea, it is split into things like PCI controller, SATA controller, etc.). Does anyone know where they can get hold of a complete source code for Darwin? ADC doesn't have a download all link.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

OK I GIVE UP, I've searched the gmail site and can't find the thing to make a gmail sig image or are they 'handcrafted'

help someone before my week is totally flupped up worse than it is already

Re: All things Gmail.
 

You mean like this?

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/matthew.dodd/mattdodd.jpg


They're "handcrafted".


There was a thread a few months ago....http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=14161

Have a read through that, & make a request. Hopefully Nem or someone will be feeling kind :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Thanks Matt,

<< off to do some reading and play wif a paint type prgrame

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Just a point to mention about the forwading.

I notice from the help about the new features that forwarding is .
I suppose that they may be charging for it at some point?

Has anyone found the way that it analyses the message your reading & displays similar links annoying etc?

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Just found this on another site, looks like we'll be getting POP access to gmail soon :)
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1723553,00.asp

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Oh goody.
Now those spare invites will be wanted.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Well it will make it a lot more useful to some :) Gmail is getting to be more usable to a lot more people with POP access.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

On a slightly different note...
Easy to create Gmail sigs

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Very nice :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Just been reading / am still reading that its coming to pda's as well :)

thanks for the sig link Paul :tu:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Yep they are quite good aren't they :)
Glad to be of service ;)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I ain't got POP3 on either of mine yet... :(

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Cool :)


Now I'll finally be able to check it on my phone too.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

i still cant use my gmail invites

Re: All things Gmail.
 

They are doing them one set at a time so it will take a while before everyone gets pop access, I have yet to receive any invitations to give out other than the first one that I gave to a member of this forum where as others get lots of invites to hand out. That shows the random nature of some of the account updates that happen. POP access will be sorted out for all accounts, it will just be a case of being patient :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I know, hence "yet"... I'm using a popper atm, and it's crap, so I want it :mardy:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

The help already tells you what to do.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I still have 1 or 2 invites hanging about on one of my gmail accounts which I may give out.

Dont use gmail much just for a email sending place away from my ntl one when Hotmail is updated I may go to the premium service they offer.

However with gmail getting pop access and everything else if it remains a FREE service then I shall remain interested with them.

Anyone wanting a gmail account can pm me I have about 2 left after family and friends accounts being made.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Well I got pop access to my gmail accout today :) Nice :tu:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

thanks Paul - just looked & me too, excellent - especially with the forthcoming restriction on accessing hotmail. :tu:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Ditto, all set :tu: thanks

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Since a lot of members here signed up at the same time I'm hoping that a lot of members now have pop access :) Makes it a lot easier to access multiple accounts without having to run multiple applications or have applications sitting in the background to do just one account.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

It will do, as soon as i get to grips with it all, :p: slow maybe, but i'll get there :tu:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

there are some very good, clear instructions on the google gmail site to sort the pop access, think there was even a config script there too :)
http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/...92174519286333
Gmail link gives the settings for outlook express as an example :)
Config script

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Just in case anyone still wants a gmail a/c then drop me a PM with your email addy

d.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Hmm, I have it at last.
Interesting thing though, it starts of as disabled, you can enable it for all mail or for all mail from now on.

You cannot disable it, there is no option?
Would you need to? I suppose that you just no longer connect to it.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

the option to disable has appeared on mine after i saved, logged out and logged back in

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I've got it as well :D

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Nice one :tu:

I've added my gmail acct to mailwasher now :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Okidoki.
Somehow I don't think that I will be using POP until my 3000+ spam mails have gone :D

Hopefully they will implement a "delete all spam" button soon.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Ye gads :eek: where do you use your gmail account address? I have yet to get any spam in my gmail inbox, mind you I am careful where I use it ;) I use my hotmail account for sites that require registration most of the time, might as well let uncle bill deal with my junk mail :p:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I've set up the pop, but it doesn't seem to go through the email scanner, incoming & outgoing, on my antivirus. :shrug:

My other email accounts are fine. Using Norton AV 04.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Gmail doesn't use standard ports, it may be that causing the issue, I linked to the gmail instructions a couple of posts back and they have the port numbers in them if you need them :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

In gmail simply "archive all exisiting messages" and in the pop setting chose enable pop for new email.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I did follow the instructions given by gmail for thunderbird, when I set the account up :)

So, any ideas how I can get the scanner to scan the account? :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Works fine with mailwasher and AVG7 ;)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Sorry :( Think we need someone that uses NAV to help you with that, no doubt it's just one silly setting that is stopping it all :(

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Any invites still going?

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Yep, think you may well have a chance of that ;)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

PM me your details mate!!!!!! :kiss:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Chi, you are a star...!! Thanks..

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Aw , shucks!! :blush:
You're welcome - anyone else want one? ;)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Aw c'mon now, Mal can't be the olny gmail user here that has Nortons installed...
BTW yeah, it does work with AVG doesn't it :p:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Still struggling with it, biggest niggle is the amount of time from boot up to login, but as said before, slow, but i'll get there,

all this beer's not helping though :shrug: ;)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

All my old NTL accounts & any others forward to it.
I also use it on all forums & sites needing registrations etc.

So I get all the spam from them & it soon mounts up.
I'm just glad that the spam filter gets 95% of it all.

If only I could delete it all in one go, to get rid of 3000+ would take 60+ mouse clicks & about 10 minutes, much better to do it in one go.
(if anyone else thinks that then please suggest this to Google on their help pages here).

Re: All things Gmail.
 

do you mean how does NAV scan emails?

just open NAV and click options then on the left hand side click internet email in the window that appears on the left make sure that scan for incoming &/or outgoing messages is ticked, and that should be about it, there is no option for thunderbird, just a mail client, so this must run off of the default mail client.

ik

edit: if this is a problem with thunderbird and setting up the pop settings, then I would change one thing that gmail say, when you are setting up another account, in the smtp part, add a new one, don't change your normal one, then this can check for both normal account and gmail.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

on another note, regarding this gmail pop forwarding thing, what is the default ntlworld.com port number?

ik

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I use Thunderbird and NAV (actually NIS 04) works okay with other email accounts (yahoo/ntlworld).

It's just the gmail account.

I'm wondering, like Paul said, if it's because gmail uses different ports. On outgoing router log, the service is marked as POP for the others, but the gmail is marked by the port number. I don't know if it's that. :shrug:

I've emailed symantec to see if that's the problem and I'm just waiting for a reply.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

POP3 = pop.ntlworld.com port 110
SMTP = smtp.ntlworld.com port 25

Re: All things Gmail.
 

cheers metawraith

ik

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Oh, so it's not just me then- I've emailed Gmail and you get the usual crap...

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Got a reply from Symantec today...

They gave me this link and tried to make out that I just wasn't noticing the email scanning progress indicator that appears on the taskbar. :rolleyes: :erm:

I did actually tell them that it was working on my other email accounts and that it could be the different ports.

Oh well, I told them again...

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I suddenly can't get my gmail pop to send - anyone else having problems?

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Yep. I was having trouble last night as well. It took a few attempts.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Thanks, at least I know it isn't just me.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Got another reply. They gave me this link. :shrug:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Do you get the feeling they didn't understand the problem :erm: We can all see from that link that Norton AV doesn't support certain protocols that doesn't mean that it should you from using those protocols fullstop. That's like saying "we don't support your email account so we are going to block you from using it at all".

Re: All things Gmail.
 

In the email, the sender said that Norton Antispam does support ssl*, but in that link it doesn't. :shrug:

Plus I'm not really bothered about antispam, it's the antivirus that I'm bothered about. I did tell them that in my first request...



*I don't if it is that, but that is the only thing that is different to my yahoo/ntlworld accounts that I use with Thunderbird.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Not sure if it has been mentioned elsewhere (or even by me).

However, I have just had an email refused to be sent because I put a .ZIP file with a .EXE file in it.
Gmail said that it refuses to send .EXE files.

So I compressed it into a password protected .RAR & that was fine.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Just to mention, that you need to "hide filenames" too I think.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

More Gmail features i came across last week RSS feeds from your gmail account ;)

Newsfeed URL: http://www.gmailusers.com/atom.xml

Works well for me (you do need to authenticate as well) but let me know how it goes for you.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I put the feed as a live bookmark in the bookmark toolbar, but it seems no matter which message I pick, it just shows all the inbox. So if I've done it right, it is not much more functional than the Gmail notifier - but a cool alternative,none the less :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

yeah your right, not much different to the notifier.

My RSS agent (FeedDemon) shows the start of each message and when you open each feed then yeah it opens the inbox. havent tried it as a live bookmark yet but will do.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

ok keep getting the opps error message whenever i try to use my Trash or Spam folder. I've cleared my cache \ temp files and cookies but still the same. Worked for a moment after a reboot then stopped again.
tried with firefox and IE and still the same error. Anyone else had this ?

Just use the web front end not pop access

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I'm a big fan of Gmail, and use the browser version, as I can't see too many advantages of the POP versions, with a couple of exceptions.

I would like to see the ability to sync with PDA and has been mentioned. I would also like to see a Calender function in it, which would sync with Outlook, Notes and PDA. I think it could be funded with links to travel sites, etc.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Apologies if I am being a bit thick but is there a way to make sub folders from the inbox and put a load of emails in particular folders? I like to sort my email into categories and would like to do this with my gmail account

I also havent seen the POP details anywhere - are they added on the gmail website?

Cheers,

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Go into settings, Labels and create labels, these are like folders for gmail. you then put a tick in the select box for the email you want to move and from the more actions drop down menu select apply label. It will then be stored under that label the same way it would be stored in a folder in Outlook/ Outlook Express.
POP details? Have you tried Clicking Help in the top right corner on the Gmail screen??

hehe Paul, thanks for your help mate :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 

That's ok :) I won't point out that the information is already in this thread ;)
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...2&postcount=36 :D

Re: All things Gmail.
 

okay you can stop making me look like an idiot now ;-) cheers :D

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Happens all the time, I tried a search for the info but the search engine removed the POP bit from the search query :( Good thing I knew who had posted the info already ;)
Have fun :D

Re: All things Gmail.
 

You know I swear there was a post here a few mins ago with something about saying sorry in it? ;) Mmmm now where is a certain poster...... :p:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I don't know what you mean :shrug: maybe he used the search box and realised he'd been an :dunce: :D :nworthy: :angel:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Suprising what you can find when you search ;) Was gonna post the link but thought better of it lol :) Was your link the same as the link already posted? Might even be a more updated version of it???

Re: All things Gmail.
 

There was :D (just having a read of it ;))

Re: All things Gmail.
 

It was the same, I don't know about version's though, but here's the link, I'm off to bed ..... looooooong shift and back out at 15.30 :Yikes:

This is good as I'm using an old p200 with IE4 on at home & it finally worked with that last night.

Not sure about Picasa though...

Re: All things Gmail.
 

I don't have any report bugs :(

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Is it just me or does this happen to you?

When I have been trying to forward mail or send messages, when I clockon send I get the message.
"Oops, cannot connect to Gmail, check your connection" or something very like it.

Takes about 4-6 goes at clicking send to get it to work.
This may be my company firewall, not sure.

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Gah! The Russian spammers have discovered Gmail.. :mad:I'm getting a hell of a lot more spam now...however the spam filter is working very well. :tu:

Re: All things Gmail.
 

Well, I ve never got that message but sometimes it get stuck while sending. I usually press stop on the browser and try send it again. It usally works.

Re: All things Gmail.
