Cool, thanks for looking into things...

any idea why gCount .04 wouldn't open on my ibook g4 with 10.3.5? it'll just sit in the dock and try to open until finally the arrow stops flashing and i have to force it to quit.

That bdegan plugin worked like a charm. GMail from Mail. Didn't really expect to be able to do that. I'll probably actually use my GMail account now.

Sweet, I'm glad to see someone else get a solution out there too. My current solution also involved libgmail. Now that someone else has released this, I'm not sure if I should still roll it into gCount. Hm.

i hate to be greedy, but can you roll this into mail like a bundle (similar to httpmail)?
the gmail plugin works for me (took 2 installs), but it is really slow (don't know if a different version will be any faster) and those two dock icons bother me. if you could roll this functionality into gcount, i think that would be awesome.

but hey, i'll never bite the hand that feeds me. i am too happy that someone made this for mail.

I would love it if you rolled it into gcount as well. It would make an awesome app even cooler

I just force quit them, and the app still works. Seems to be working pretty well.

And I havne't noticed much a speed problem, either. Its not instant, but none of my email servers are.

Good news: Google is now providing POP access to Gmail.
