Pop Goes the GMail

PGtGM has been discontinued. Please use http://www.gnotify.com/gpopper/ instead!

PGtGM sits between you GMail account and your email client, converting messages from the web based mailbox into POP3 messages that a program such as Outlook Express or Firebird can understand.

POP3 server now fully works. You are able to download gmail emails through any email client. SMTP server appears to work.

Please post any bugs you find in the login process to the thread, or problems displaying messages.

there needs to be a way of clearing the log, i left PGtGM running checking my email every minute and the log fills up quickly, i'm assuming that it is stored in RAM right? this could eat up too much RAM on my workstation

i did a couple of calculations, and if you checked for mail once a min solidly for 7 days, then the PGtGM log would use just 1meg of extra ram :)

therefore, set it to 4 mins, and it will use just 1 meg of ram more a month!

Phew, ok.

Anyways, I have a bug for you (sort of)

When I ran GMAIL for about the 5th time, I got this message:

"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process ID=0x148 (328), Thread id=0x424 (1060).

Click OK to Terminate the application.

Click Cancel To debug the application."

It only happens when my cable internet is unplugged and it trys to look for the new version.

I had the same problem .

In your account's smtp config in thunderbird try to use your ISP smtp server instead of localhost.

I still dont feel comfortable with a huge log file taking up ram, my machine stays on 24/7.

Most other apps have an option to clear the log, just a button, or a check box to clear after each mail cycle.

This would probably be a great addition, if a log needs to be saved, usually it is dumped to an external file.

At the moment, if the program crashes, there is no way to find out why, because the log would have disappeared when the program crashed.
