I'm using Firefox 3.5.5, Mac OS X Version 10.6.2, and running Ubiquity
0.5.4.

The "email" command does not respond. I can invoke Ubiquity and type
"email", or the other variants thereof, e.g. "email to
per...@emailaddress.com", and the command window will seem to respond
appropiately, but when I press "Enter", nothing happens.

Other Ubiquity commands do work (haven't tested them all, but I tried
a few and they seemed to work as intended). This includes "Get Last
Email" and the various search functions.

I've tried disabling my other extensions, but even when Ubiquity is
the only add-on running, the email command still won't work.

Any help?

Well, I tried poking around a little more after posting my message,
and it turns out that if I have Gmail open on a tab in Firefox (or in
another FF window), it won't work, but it seems to otherwise work
fine, including on other Google sites where I'm logged in.

This little error pops up when I invoke Ubiquity, type "email" and
press Enter:

Which is to say, the Email command works properly IFF a Gmail tab is
not already open. If a Gmail tab is open, nothing happens when I use
the Email command.

Exactly the situation with my installation. Also, the email that
opens does not have the link nicely formatted as before.

Just to follow up:

1. Ubiquity 0.5.5pre7 and 0.5.5, Mac OSX 10.5.8, and Firefox 3.5.5
2. Ubiquity email command will open a Gmail composition window if
Gmail is not already open but the link from the web page is just a
link, not nicely formatted.
3. Ubiqity email command will not open anything if Gmail is already
open in a tab.
4. Ubiquity email command works properly on Vista, XP, and Linux
Ubuntu 9.1.0

I tried reinstalling Ubiquity 0.55 and Ubiquity 0.5.5pre7 with no
success.
I tried disabling plugins that might affect Ubiquity with no success.

Hope this can be corrected. It was my primary usage of Ubiquity. It
created nicely formatted links in emails when sending a web page.

My experience on Windows XP, Ubiquity 0.5.5pre7, FF 3.5.5, is that the
email command doesn't do anything if I have an open Gmail tab. If I
don't have an open Gmail tab, the email command will open a Gmail
composition window, but, one of my main concerns is that it doesn't
actually load up the correct contact.

For example, from Aza's screencast:
email this to jono

Should load up a composition window with whatever this means at the
time, and looked up the email address you're referring to by jono.
Currently, it will just paste "jono" in the To field, which isn't
helpful.

I'm trying to use this to interact with Remember the Milk's email
interface. I made a contact in gmail called "remember" which maps to
my personal remember the milk user id and email account. If the
ubiquity email command worked, and I needed to pick up flowers for my
sweetie tonight, I could simply hit ctrl+space, "email pick up flowers
at 6pm tonight to remember" hit enter, click send (which i think I
shouldn't have to do either btw), and I've got a new Remember the Milk
task which will also sync to my phone in a few minutes.

If someone could look into why this broke, both the contact lookup
issue and the "no action if gmail tab is open" issue, that'd be great.

Thanks!

The Gmail API (http://code.google.com/p/gmail-greasemonkey/wiki/GmailGreasemonkey10API) we use for "email" seems to be having issue recently.

  gmonkey.load('1.0', function(gm){ gm.getNavPaneElement() })

throws:

  uncaught exception: CustomError: Service for "H" is not registered

Something similar has been reported to the Greasemonkey list:

I tested on my systems and so far it fails on OSX and Linux Ubuntu
9.1.0 but that would be expected if the email function is really
broken and it is not a conflict with something else.

really unfortunate because this is the main reason I use ubiquity...
in addition I'd been having issues loading images recently in the
email command, now it simply doesn't work :(

hmmm.. so is this a gmail API issue?

I wish I had the power to fix this, but I'm just a casual ubiquity
fan..

decided to a take a look at aza's blog today and try out the latest
ubiquity, and no love on the gmail contact scraping nor the new
message composition from ubiquity command line when gmail is open in
another tab or window..

the new image editing through pixastic is rad.. but I hope gmail's
ubiquity functionality isn't dead for good :-(

Confirmed. I cannot use the Ubiquity "email" and "email to" verbs when
I have a Gmail tab already open. This is happening with Ubiquity 0.5.4
on Firefox 3.5.6.
