Re: Slow access to Gmail

Post by Jeff »

OK, someone sent me some log files and I've been working on this issue. I still don't have any accounts that are affected but it looks like Gmail is implementing a new landing page for gmail.com which looks like this (this is actually the page that gmail.com will redirect to for some people):
https://www.google.com/gmail/about/

Based on the log files I've been provided, there is a test version available:

1) Download this file:
http://data.esumsoft.com/temp/WebMail_v ... _Gmail.zip

2) Exit POP Peeper (main menu: File / Exit)

3) Open the zip you downloaded in step #1 and copy WebMail.dll to where POP Peeper is installed, usually:
C:\Program Files (x86)\POP Peeper\
or, if you have a 32-bit OS:
C:\Program Files\POP Peeper\

4) Restart POP Peeper

5) To ensure that it's using the updated webmail plugin:
a) go to main menu: Help / About
b) In the list for "WebMail" the "current" value should say "4.2.2.9001"

6) Test your gmail account(s) and let me know if this fixes the problem or not.

I just tried the fix for WebMail.dll in the above post and it seems the problem is solved. My gmail-type accounts are working fine now. Thanks!

Thanks for checking and confirming. I'll wait on some more feedback and if all goes well, I'll formally release the fix.

Just fyi -- the fix was officially released yesterday so you should have it by now if you have auto-update enabled. Webmail v4.2.3 (check under Help / About).
