plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by brandon_r87 on 08-25-2004 at 11:45 PM

is it possible to make a plugin that would check gmail accounts? i dont know about plugins or coding so i don't know but if that is possible...it'd be cool. and i would get it.

u can just use a gmail -> POP3 conversion program like Pop Goes the Gmail and then use the built in POP3 checker in MsgPlus i believe


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by brandon_r87 on 08-26-2004 at 03:51 AM

i downloaded Pop Goes the Gmail but I haven't figured out what to type into the POP3 section of Plus!  I also haven't found on PGtG any suggestions to try.


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by ddunk on 08-26-2004 at 03:54 AM

according to the PGtGM program...

Email address:
  [Your full gmail email address]

Incoming mail server (POP3):
  localhost

Username:
  [Your gmail username, without the @gmail.com part]

Password:
  [Your gmail account password]

I suggested this also, and would prefer it to using another program. Currently the gmail helper is the best program I've seen with its own little popup.

I'm happy with the official g-mail notifier
i just right click view inbox and 'pop' up comes firefox and opens my g-mail

FukAFly, can you explain yourself a little more on what you are clicking to make the gmail window open. Does this only work with the firefox browser?


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by CookieRevised on 08-31-2004 at 11:28 PM

It is just yet another program that you can run in the background for gmail users....
It opens up your mail account on gmail in your current default browsers. Fukafly's default browser is FFox....

When I click on the link so I can go to my inbox "which I have listed as a link to a webpage" it opens up Thunderbird "my default email program".

How do I change this without changing my default email program?


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by CookieRevised on 09-01-2004 at 10:21 AM

Can you first tell us about what program you're talking about? Because that isn't clear; we talked about several programs in this thread, and I gave a link to even more programs... so, be more detailed...  ;)


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by Chestah on 09-01-2004 at 11:41 AM

yeah but do u really wanna have Pgtgm chewing up all of your ram just for it to be used to check ur gmail? why not just use gtray or gmail notifier? In both cases you have to use an external program anyways?


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by sheeps on 09-01-2004 at 12:21 PM

Nah it's ok, I got gmail notifier and it works a charm.


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by Protocol on 09-02-2004 at 08:12 AM

Just checked out Gmail Notifier. It has got me buggered how it works. No configuration at all for it, yet it looks up your Gmail account... Is this correct?


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by Mazky on 09-04-2004 at 06:50 PM

Something wrong with the Pop Goes the Gmail?
When i unzip it, it says it could not find "mscoree.dll". Or should it be unzipped to some certain place?


RE: plugin idea: msn plus checks gmail by .Roy on 09-04-2004 at 07:26 PM

gmail notifier basically sees if your logged in.. if so then it will check for new emails... i dont know the exact time.. maybe half a minute ?? anyways then it gives  u a little popup that closes by itself and tells you where you got mail from and some description.. it doesnt ruin Full screen games :-P thats what i like about it
