GmailerXP

GmailerXP itself isn't even ready yet!

 

Why not just use Gmail's POP support and use Mail? It seems to have most of the features GmailerXP has and probably more.

 

Exactly, what's so good about GMailXP that you haven't got in mail.app already?

More interesting perhaps is XMail, which will basically give you iDisk features with GMail. I haven't tried it yet but it might be useful to some.

 

I don't much like the idea of putting my name and password in some 3rd party site like that. Not good

 

I saw that too. I actually typed both my name and password, but I couldn't get myself to submit it. Has anyone tried this?

 

I did the same as you two but now I think I may make a test account with those fifty invites I've got.

 

Agreed, hence the reason I haven't tried it. But they do seem reputable and have been around for awhile in web years.

Let us now how it works out Wes.

 

I tried it for a couple of minutes and it appears to work.

 

You don't have to "login every time" you want to send an email, just tick off for it to remember you.

To all intense and purposes a shortcut on your desktop to gmail.com (with gmail set to remember you, so that you don't have to login) will give you exactly the same functionality as this GmailerXP app.

 

Anyone know of an application like XMail that presents your GMail space as a drive in OS X? Or at least a program that connects to your GMail account and mimics the UI of OS X, and has a drag and drop interface?

 

Well then start using!

Mail.app will let you send and receive your gmail with no problems. Downloaded mails will automatically be archived by GMail, so you'll still have access to them if you're away from your Mac. The same applies to sent mail.

 

Yup, just make sure you have the appropriate settings selected

 

Annoyingly I don't think there is. There's GMail FS for Linux and GMail Drive for Windows but nowt much for OSX barring the applescript attached. Not sure how well it works though.

Here's hoping an elegant solution comes out soon.

 

Read the google documentation. I think the diagrams are for Panther mail but it's pretty much the same concept. This might help you along as well. And of course there's always here

 

Should be the new catch phrase for the next Apple campaign!




Edit: There are other ways to play with Gmail too if you really want to marvel. You can integrate GMail with Safari RSS to inform you of any new mail or use one of the many Dashboard widgets. Of course it's all superfluous now that you're using mail.app

 

Here's a good thread to get you started, lots of great apps listed.

Tell me what kind of thing you're looking for, I've got a fetish for freeware/shareware! The very first thing you have to download is Quicksilver. Compliments Spotlight and has a lot of hidden functions, frankly indispensable.
