Should be

Attach:GmailPlugin.zip <--- missing the i in zip

I would have fixed it for you but I didn't want to impose.

Wouldnt have minded you fixing it, only a simple thing .

My results after installing build 3:

-Tweaked the skin a little to avoid text overlap - looks great.
-Fixed the issue with multiple accounts - it works!
-Added local time support to the email date/time - local times are correct.
-Added mouse support - mouse supported.

Awesome - thanks

Well I've been testing it hard for a few days and all is well.

Will be bringing it out beta tonight (no new download - just editing the wiki).

Any final thoughts / comments before I do this?

What happens when you type https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom into Internet Explorer? This is the atom feed link the plugin uses.

Also is it still reporting the same error?

Code:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

This error is a problem with the atom feed parser. I had it when I had new unread emails in my inbox with dodgey dates, does it still error with a clear inbox?

i have this same issue - using the link to the atom feed works ok

i have 2 acc setup - 1 was working fine all the time but now neither are working


heres the error in my logs

ok looks like i spoke too soon as its erroring on one account again - would it have something to do with the amount of emails in the inbox or the fact that some of the messages have got other replies in them ?

It seems to be a bug with the atom feed parser i use to parse the data from google. Thinking about ditching it and writing my own if this error spreads. Untill then there is not much I can do, sorry.

V1.5 (27–7–2006)

• Uses it’s own internal Gmail feed parser (no longer relies dated the Atom.net libary which caused time/date errors).
