Gmail not working in Opera 8.5
Mike Mckinney
All I get is a "loading" screen now. I have tried clearing the cache,
deleting all cookies, using https, nothing works.
Can anyone suggest something to get gmail to load correctly again?
TIA

I don't use it (Gmail) but did OP "Check for new versions" and get
the UA.INI up to date?

Ditto.
It's slow, but I'm on dial-up.

It's always slow on dialup no matter the browser.

It might help if people would mention the sort of system they're
running. I just upgraded opera to 8.5 on my Mac (OSX 10.3.9),
tried it with gmail, and it seems to work. I did have one case
where it hung with a "Loading..." message, but I hit Refresh and
the problem cleared up.
So those with problems - What release of what system do you have?

Press F12; try clicking "Identify as Mozilla";
this was helping with apparent recent changes at Gmail,
which seem to have been unfriendly to Opera.
If all else fails, try "basic HTML" view:
https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html&zy=f
(you can go here after login, if not before).
If Gmail gets even worse with Opera
(which they officially don't support),
Gmail does claim to support various other browsers,
which are sometimes necessary anyway,
to get certain features such as "Rich text" formatting.

I can reproduce the problem when logging in for a second time, ID'd as
Opera. To log in ID'd as Opera for a second time, I have to exit Opera
completely and restart it.
When ID'd as Mozilla or IE, I have no problem.

For me the problem is is not occuring all the time.
The HTML View https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html&zy=f is always working.
But the full featured view is only working about half of the time I try.
So far I couldn't tie it to any UA settings.
BTW, if I use F12 to set the UA from Opera to IE that gets into effect
immediately, right? No need to restart...
Thanks,
Marco

I was also having the problem whenever:
o Refreshing the page (without clearing cache).
o Closing the page and then recovering with Ctrl-Z.
o Trying to open a Duplicate page.
o Trying to open a new page at the same URL.
The only cures I found were:
o ID as Mozilla, or
o In profile\ua.ini add or change "mail.google.com=x" to 2 or 4

See this for for what appears to be the solution that you're seeing:
http://my.opera.com/hallvors/blog/show.dml/38528
I never experience this problem myself, however. I have GMail bookmarked
with the following address: https:/gmail.google.com/ I click this link
multiple times each day and NEVER have this problem. I don't need to
empty the cache, either, each time as the above link describes as one
possible solution.

We've added a work-around to browser.js. Go to Help and select "Check
for new release". That should update your browser.js with the fix.
Does it work now?

It just tells me that 'You are using the latest version of Opera'
Is there any way to update it manually?

When you check for new releases, browser.js is updated automatically.
The message is misleading.

Opera doesn't download newest browser.js file. Maybe because I moved that
file to my javascript opera/profile/js/ directory?

You should not put browser.js in any other directory, nor edit it. That is

Doesn't update browser.js on linux.
I even tried (with opera closed), renaming browser.js, and then using
opera's help/Check for new release.
No browser.js was created.
I renamed the old one back. It has a last modified date of Sep. 29th.

Okey, thx for that tip. I've just put back browser.js in profile dir. But
still Opera doesn't update.

You might try downloading

which is the file currently fetched by Opera for Windows. It has
a Last-Modified date of Tue, 27 Sep 2005 07:14:31 GMT
There's a redirect involved, the browser originally requests

Most interesting!
I wonder what makes "Identify as Mozilla" bypass the problem?

Another curiosity, but can you *refresh* (or Duplicate)
a Gmail page (while Identifying as Opera) after logging in?

This is a truly nice feature, that some "mini fixes"
can be automatically obtained, and so easily!
Do any other browsers compete with that?

Might be due to re-using a cached copy, as OS people said,
which somehow gets avoided by re-direct from other initial URL.

Bet you still can't "Duplicate" (or refresh, or re-open)
a page, though (while Identifying as Opera)

I never tried. Do you mean by pressing the Reload button or pressing F5?
If so, I cannot
duplicate or refresh a GMail page as you say. I can update the inbox of
GMail by pressing 'U'
or the 'Refresh' link, however -- I do that fairly often.
Richard Grevers
I can certainly duplicate a window, but because GMail uses full-screen
frames with the script determining which frame is displayed, the duplicate
page shows the inbox (the default frame).

Those are script links, rather than the browser's own
"refresh page" function, and of course I meant the latter.
OS has already diagnosed the problem meanwhile
(error in comments parsing from cached script),
and since that's not Gmail's fault,
it won't go away by itself.

I haven't re-tried everything; just set ua.ini
to ID as Mozilla on Gmail, and forget about it.
Still don't know why even this works,
but why spook the elves by investigating too far? ;-)

Much less a problem than having to conduct everything
in just one window :)
Still can't directly compose or reply in a new window, however;
that's exactly why we are trying "Duplicate window" then "compose"
as the only other way to get the same effect ("linked" is also NG).

I found "mail.google.com=1" in my ua.ini; had to change it to 2 or 4,
or else "identify as Mozilla" in F12 settings.
