gPopper Released


Recommended Posts

Apologies if someone already posted this, I did search & couldn't find it.

Anyways

gPopper is a FREE Gmail utility which acts as POP3/SMTP Gmail server allowing you to use programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Thunderbird to send and receive Gmail.

Formerly Pop Goes the GMail (PGtGM), gPopper has continued where PGtGM has left off.

Just about any email client that supports access to POP3 email accounts can be configured to work with gPopper.

NOTE: The .Net framework is required to run gPopper

Thanks for posting about this. Cool to hear about it, although I'm kind of cautious when it comes to stuff like this because Google has posted themselves about the interoperability of 3rd-party software and how they want to implement their own solutions (i.e. gMail Notifier) when the time comes. Can't wait for official POP3 from gMail.

Understandably, people are enthused!!

I understand what you're saying, but until google actually do include POP3 support, those of us who want that functionality have no choice but to rely on applications like gPopper to do the job.

Hmm, I'd never had any problems with pgtgm so I gave this a try. The actual app has no problems checking for mail, I can send mail from Outlook Express but receiving is weird. When receiving on the Gmail account, it detects that I have mail, but fails to retrieve it :/

,Sep 12 2004, 22:24] :huh: didnt you make this?

I made the original application, which was released under GPL. Google changed the login code however, and I didn't have time to fix it, so I let someone else continue the work.

I'm just making sure the coder is following the terms of the GPL license by making source code available.

hey didnt you get a job from google? what do you do??

Where can I download the source code? I can't seem to find a link on the site.

Thanks

Taken from the author's forum.

For those of you that would like a copy of the sourcecode, please send an email to [email protected].  A copy of the sourcecode will be emailed to you within 48 hours.  I will automate this if requests get out of hand.

At the moment this program is very buggy, I hope the dev can find time and courage to work it out and make it as great as PGTGM.

Gmail may be having problems or may have changed something.  Try again in a few minutes.

Anyone get this error, gPopper works correctly on one network, but not on the wireless network in the same uni, and not on a corporate network. I run XP SP2 and .Net 1.1 SP. Connecting via thunderbird worked fine when I init set it up, over 60 msg dl. Now I get the above error no matter what proxy/firewall settings I use. Even throughing in authenticated settings. Is it possible that gPopper does not like proxies that require authentication.

Gmail itself and the firefox gmail notifier work perfectly. They even bypass the authentication of the proxy and seem to work direct. But gPopper doesn't.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
