https or http?

Post by An_Ysia »

I'd like to use this extension, but I'm having trouble finding out whether it uses a secure (https) connection when connecting to Gmail. The default for Gmail seems to be an insecure (http) connection which I don't use.

Hosted domains?

Post by BlackYoshi »

How do I enter a hosted domain Gmail into this for the username field? On notifier it was "username@hosteddomain.tld" but this does not work. Help?

i recently upgraded PC's and after re-installing gmail manager...when clicking the email name in the "alert bar" after re-installing, i have to select again which email account i want to use to compose email....i've never seen this until the re-install...it's annoying to have click on the user name i want to check email for only to have to make a 2nd selection...is there anyway to eliminate that pop-up box and make it like it was before...that is, when i click any of the gmail accounts, it just logs me into that account without the redundant request.....

the box...Image

for some reason, I also have the same problem lately. The extension will not update the real email count, and will remain at 0 even when new mail arrives.
Any idea why?

Thank you so much for the great extension. And, yeah, it still works sometimes...

It connects with HTTPS.


I am trying to find a simple way to make mailto links open the Compose window for my Google Apps domain. Adding the Google Apps e-mail address is very simple, and setting it as the default address to use when composing (clicking mailto links) is also very simple, however..

I have a GreaseMonkey script that work by rewriting the actual mailto links, but I would prefer using Gmail Manager, as it's have other features I like, as well as not rewriting the mailto links, but merely captures the click or some such (looks cleaner when browsing).

I tried disabling the GreaseMonkey script and making Gmail Manager handle the mailto link.. When clicking a mailto link (or right clicking and selecting "Compose Gmail from"), it just opens my inbox for my Google Apps e-mail address, instead of as I would expect, the compose window.. Is this something I'm doing wrong? Is it a feature that's not added? Or is it a bug? :)


Hope for a solution :)


<edit>
I found a workaround using Google Toolbar..
First enable "Send with Gmail" in the Google Toolbar Options (under More).
Then open "about:config", find the key "google.toolbar.mailto.providers.Gmail" (type "gmail" in the filter to find it more easily).
Change the value from:
"firetool-mail:http://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1@to=to&subject=su&body=body&cc=cc&bcc=bcc&name=Gmail"
to:
"firetool-mail:https://mail.google.com/a/MYDOMAIN.TLD?view=cm&fs=1@to=to&subject=su&body=body&cc=cc&bcc=bcc&name=Gmail"
(change MYDOMAIN.TLD to your own domain).. (Notice I changed it from http to https at the same time)
Now mailto links works with Google Apps ;)

If I have an empty tab selected is there anyway for gmail manager to open my inbox using that empty tab?

To be honest, it mostly works fine with FF3 Beta 2. The only issue is that it can't remember the password, you need to type it in every time you start firefox.

Any chance of fixing that for us tmlong? :)

Here is a simple fix for FF3b2.
modify extensions\{582195F5-92E7-40a0-A127-DB71295901D7}\components\gmManager.js under your profile like

Code: Select all

--- gmManager.js.orig   Sun Dec 23 14:21:15 2007
+++ gmManager.js   Sun Dec 23 14:21:20 2007
@@ -71,12 +71,9 @@
         newNode.setAttribute("email", account.email);
         newNode.setAttribute("alias", account.alias);
         
-        // Remove password
-        this._removePassword(account.email);
-       
         // Check to save password
         if (account.remember)
-          this._storePassword(account.email, account.password);
+          newNode.setAttribute("password", account.password);
       }
       
       // Replaces old node

This patch will save the password to gmanager\prefs.xml under your profile, it work for me in FF3b2.
Because it store the password directly, so if you have any security concern, don't use this patch, just wait for the new official release of gmail manager.

that's diff/patch format.

- => remove this line
+ => add this line (don't include +)

Thank you!!! Very helpful. For me, it didn't work until I imported my settings from FF2.0. Otherwise, when adding an account, I couldn't click on OK once I filled in the username and password (the button became eligible, but clicking on it did nothing). But works great now. Thanks so much!

not exactly a reply

I have multiple gmail accounts. It seems in the past that if I got mail in one of the accounts that account would show highlight in the toolbar and come to the top of the list (if it wasn't already there).

How do i make that happen in the latest incarnation.
