I don't much like the idea of putting my name and password in some 3rd party site like that. Not goodmunkle said:
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?edesignuk said:I don't much like the idea of putting my name and password in some 3rd party site like that. Not good
Agreed, hence the reason I haven't tried it. But they do seem reputable and have been around for awhile in web years.edesignuk said:I don't much like the idea of putting my name and password in some 3rd party site like that. Not good
Let us now how it works out Wes.
The main reason why I don't use Mail.app is because I want to have all my emails in one central location and accessible from anywhere, GMailerXP does excactly that. I don't like logging into my Gmail account everytime I want to send an email and GMailer XP kind of fills the gap between an email client and webmail.munkle said:
Is Mail.app able to keep my emails on my Mac and Gmail in sync? If so I'd use it right now!
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?munkle said:
Well then start using!nsheikh80 said:
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.
What about emails I send from Mail.app, will they sync to Gmail? Thanks for your help.munkle said:
Thanks for reminding me about this but I would prefer to use a standalone app.edesignuk said:You don't have to "login every time" you want to send an email, just tick off for it to remember you.

WAY COOL!!!munkle said:Yup, just make sure you have the appropriate settings selected
I'm going to jump on that bandwagon straight away. Now to try to figure it out.....
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.mrgreen4242 said:
Here's hoping an elegant solution comes out soon.
Thanks but I managed to set up Mail.app like this quite a while. I just need to know how I can sync any sent emails in Mail.app with Gmail, a little helpmunkle said: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

I can't believe it! It just works!
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

Thanks for your help on this. They should really make it clear that Gmail is capable of providing this functionality. I know that amongst my peers this is one of the reasons we don't use POP!munkle said:Should be the new catch phrase for the next Apple campaign!

Cheers munkle.
I've been messing around with Qemux and VNC today. Almost got Qemux working but then I think I pushed my Powerbook to hard and it all just crashed on me. VNC is great!
Have you been trying out any new and interesting apps recently?
Here's a good thread to get you started, lots of great apps listed.nsheikh80 said:
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.
