Gmail Checker 2.5.0.91

Thursday, 22 September 2011

For anyone having the login problem with Google Apps accounts, try Gmail Checker version 2.5.0.91.

This version also supports 2-step verification. You need to generate an application-specific password for Gmail Checker for each of your accounts which use 2-step verification. This password must be saved locally in 'Manage Accounts'. This means that you need two passwords (one is your actual password, the other is the application-specific password) to check mail in this type of account.

*Disclaimer: Treat this as a beta release. The final release will be available soon.

Update: 23/9

If you still have the login problem with this version:

  • Log out of all your mail accounts
  • Enable only one account that has the problem in 'Manage Accounts'
  • Open the debug window (from About... in the menu)
  • Check mail
  • Save the debug log. Delete your logged password and then email me the log file.

  1. I've got a new strange problem. Just did the update to the latest version. I only use one gmail email address and have mail forwarded to another gmail address which I check with Gmail Checker. If I log out of one account and then sign in to the other account and log out of it...then I can't log back in to the account in Gmail Checker! Says "Password is Invalid"...but if I close Firefox 7 beta, and then all is accepted with the login info (the same info, password, account name, which in entered into Gmail Checker.

    Thought you might be interested in this, as it only just started a few days ago.

  5. Why don't you add the middle click refresh to the addon? I've edited main xul and the js file to add this feature, I hope that you will ad this feature to the next versions, it is something tiny but really useful.

  6. In the news script, is it possible to just show the headlines on a different page? I want to show headlines (say 5 or 8) on my homepage which will then link to the news story. Thx

  7. HJ, you can modify 'display/basic/general.tpl' to show only the titles.
