nicer, simpler and safer.

checkgmail -no_cookies is compulsory for Jaunty, doesn’t work without it, thanks Joe & thanks to the author

I was having the same problem suddenly with the login system and my password isn’t overly complex. The -no_cookies option did the trick, thanks!

Actually, problem for people who know their credentials are correct is that this program is poorly written. Those of us whose passwords are very strong strings, which include what are escape characters will fail. I am not sure if it is a failure to HTML entity encode, or the language of the string handler in the applet, but when I changed my password to not use the ‘ character , everything worked again.

I had the same problem. The solution is to start this app with “checkgmail -no_cookies” command. It works for me. You can track this bug in this topic: http://sourceforge.net/projects/checkgmail/forums/forum/463626/topic/3405947/index/ .

Guys, what happened? Running Jaunty and it is a no go here.

Incorrect username and password. And I know they are correct. Same for username w/ @gmail.com and without. Come on! This is so much better than the other applets out there… but they work!

I have the same problem as mentioned by other users, “Incorrect username or password”. How can this be fixed?

The same problem over here. A few weeks ago didn’t had this problem, even though then, like now, I used Ubuntu 8.04
Is there an update?

Very nice indeed.

However, I can not log into my gmail account since the message goes something like ‘not correct username or password’.

What could be wrong?

P.S. Ubuntu 8.04

As #2 said, the guide was helpful to me in a number of ways as a new ubuntu user!
