gmail in safari 3 on leopard

[Darkroom]

is gmail also sucking for anyone else in leopard? my addresses don't auto complete like they use too, and it's just feels generally slow and buggy, and sometimes links (like "compose message") don't work at all... i'm pretty sure it only recently started doing this and was fine when i first installed 10.5, but i can't remember...

anyone?

fine for me, but I'm using Firefox

I second the autocomplete for email addresses.

 

[markroder]

me too!

*Using 10.5.1*

yes, no autocomplete of email addresses. also, sometimes erratic behaviour of italics command, and more often of the 'add link' command, which just doesn't work for me ..

Mark.

I am having the same issues. Made me realize how few e-mail address I actually know (backs up contacts to spreadsheet again...).

Some of the problems are pretty severe, I found I could not send to multiple recipients, not add a cc:, etc. Searching and refreshing are also iffy. I just log in using Firefox or Camino for now to check e-mail on the computer.

EDIT: For me, this all started happening after the gmail update, not when switching to Leopard. I assume there are just some kinks to work out on one side or both.

you might consider just use gmail's imap service...

It is due to the combo of the gmail and Safari update. It is on gmail's end to fix though.

A temporary (I hope) solution is to switch to the 'Older Version' (link at top right of gmail) before you compose mail. If you do that, autofill works.

Surely is correct, it is a known issue, not just limited to Leopard, but Safari 3.0.4 in general.

An even better solution is to switch the default language to English (UK). Then your preferences will be remembered and you won't have to click 'older version' constantly.

Anyone know what's the difference between POP and imap?

Not a clue and i have NO idea where i could find out!

If you find any info. Please let me know! I can't believe this information isn't easy to find!

Hey - this is a known bug with the new Gmail 2.0 and Safari. For it to work, click "Older Version" in the top right next to your settings. This takes you back to the previous version of Gmail where your auto-complete and other features will work.

Pain in the arse for sure.

As for Gmail IMAP, it works very well. However, it's MUCH faster in Thunderbird than Mail.
