I just cant get this to work!

I addet my account the first time opening and chose danish as language.

Then I ran it and got the error message above with nothing working and no options to fix it...

I then erased the program and deleted all cookies and so, and downloaded it again... now it just starts out with the error and I cant even try to change the account or anything, Im just stuck with a program thats not working at all!

Please help I really want this to work.

/thanks

Michael.

please could somebody try and help me? :(

Hi, I'm a brand new Gmail Notifier Plus user :)

I've read many posts in this thread but seriously, I'm not going to read all 43 pages.

Anyhow...

CON:

• Password sent in URL (fatal flaw, unacceptable)
  

I see that this seems a security issue but if nobody's watching your screen, there's no problem. No?

OK, bugz :shifty:

Besides the continue-or-crash error (which only appeared once) I have one issue bothering me:

INCOMPATIBILITY WITH GMAIL LABS OFFLINE MODE!

I've been using Gmail Offline because you never know when Google HQ explodes.

The thing is, when you use Gmail Notifier Plus to go to your mail, you have to enter your password every single time!

Is there any solution possible for this or do I have to disable Gmail offline to use this neat program? That would suck if Google really did explode..

You can delete the app's settings from the folder it creates (Gmail Notifier Plus) at C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Roaming.

To get there just enter %appdata% in the address bar of an explorer window.

[*]Password sent in URL (fatal flaw, unacceptable)

For F's sake, I don't know how many times I've written this in the thread.

It's an HTTPS connection. Noone can intercept that password. It appears for a second, max, someone standing behind you won't notice.

Not a problem at all.

The thing is, when you use Gmail Notifier Plus to go to your mail, you have to enter your password every single time!

This seems to be a present problem with the app for loading any account. No fix yet, but the dev is working on it in the limited time he has.

IMO, this is a pro. I do agree with you on the other points.

The lack of an installer makes it impractical for the great majority of users, so how could that possibly be a PRO?

I see that this seems a security issue but if nobody's watching your screen, there's no problem. No?

There is a problem with sending the password in the URL even if nobody is watching your screen, because the password is being sent over the public Internet in the clear, and thus could easily be intercepted (by spoofing, as I explain in my next response to this thread). The public Internet is not secure! Passwords should never ever be sent over the public Internet in the clear!

Wrong! A malicious user might use that URL syntax to create a hyperlink that appears to open a legitimate Web site but actually opens a deceptive (spoofed) Web site. This is why MSIE no longer supports userid and password syntax in any URL (HTTP or HTTPS).* Passwords should only be sent after a secure connection has been authenticated and established.

Wow, I can't believe that we're discussing this... MSN did something similar in like '00 - it was not good!

The correct way is to negotiate a session in the App, then utilise it in the browser. :)

By the way... great little App - nice to see Neowin members creating stuff :D

What language did you write it in by the way - C# or VB I assume?

I can try to whack together a code snippet for the GMail session authentication for you if you'd like, I did it in C++ not long ago so shouldn't be hard to translate :D

cannot delete the shortcut to the application off of my desktop.. doing so crashes explorer.

[vajlent]

Thanx for this! :)

It appears to be C# from the dissasembly of it.

Was finally able to rid myself of the shortcut, but I had to delete my user profile.. I'm ****ed to say the least.

I vaguely remember a similar thing happening to me with another shortcut. The solution was to make sure that the application that shortcut links to works. (create a dummy file with the same name if you have to). Then delete the shortcut.

Yeah the app worked, the application in question was the gmail notifier, it worked fine, I just couldn't delete the shortcut, or rename it, or modify it, at all.

I'm no expert when it comes to URL security but there's a few things I would like to share:

• Only completely ignorant users still use Internet Explorer - no offense. You don't need to be an expert to know that IE is the master of security issues. Firefox with the right add-ons or even Chrome are the only way to browse the web securely (even though you're never 100% secure).
  
• How on earth would one create a spoofed link someone would click on? I'm not really following you on this one (call me stupid :rofl: )...
  
• If the maker of this program would have any bad intentions, we would've heard of it by now (thanks, reverse engineering!).
  
• You might have a trojan or a keylogger active on your system right now, which would make encryption completely obsolete. Whatever you do on the web, your passwords are never safe.
  

On the other hand it is of course not very cool to see your password on the screen but is there any alternative to make this program work? What does the official Gmail Notifier do?

[FotherMucker]

This seems to be a present problem with the app for loading any account. No fix yet, but the dev is working on it in the limited time he has.

I sure hope so, this program has great potential. I'm no programmer but I'd sure like to help the creator in any way I can. Would there be a coffee delivery service where he lives? ;)

Oh, would a Photoshopper be useful? Or cold hard paypal cash? :devil:

[D!rtySh@dy]

I have sometime framework error when gmail notifier plus 2.1 start. When I have this error again, I will post screenshot.

[Reeve]

Honestly, it looks like the author has given up on updating the application. It's so sad that he had to stop responding to any of our comments. The most needed update is the login method fix, but meh...

[tthaynes7]

I just signed up to this forum to say how great this Gmail Notifier. Kudos!

[thorhalvor]

Hi,

I have just downloaded and installed your application, but it does not work exactly as i hoped.

We have a gmail company account at work, --> my mail is "[email protected]".

But it does not work in your application. it only works when i use my private "[email protected]" account.

Is this by design or an issue ?

- another thing:

if i add two accounts and then remove one of them, then you have forgot to clear a Dictionary/Hashlist..

StackTrace:

System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException()

at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key)
