1.4_4 Gmail Patch Released

We have released a patch for Gmail ver 1.4_4. This patch uses the IMAP facility provided by Gmail. This requires you to enable IMAP in your Gmail accounts. Even though its beta, if everything goes smoothly we will stop using the old way to connect to Gmail and go with the IMAP approach.

You can download the patch from here.

It is now necessary to enable IMAP for Gmail accounts to work. Find out how by clicking here.

Why IMAP?
Maintaining the old style of connections was too much work and would break frequently whenever Gmail would change its login page. This will hopefully reduce the breakage.

Pros:
1) In the future we can use Gmail Apps.
2) We will be able to provide features like delete right from Notifier2.

Cons:
1) No more GDrive.
2) Removing GTalk.

I think the pros outweigh the cons. Hence we are moving forward and not looking back!

Thanks
