Suddenly "Open Inbox" not working

[Floris]

Hi William,

Love your program! There is room for improvement here and there,
although it's doing it's core job fine. Best gmail notifier imo.
But, since some days now for me the "Open Inbox" is not working any
more. I always used it without any problem. I can't think of anything
I changed that caused this. I hope it's something you can fix?!

More info:
- I use XP Home, Firefox;
- set Gmail as standard for mail;
- when clicking "Open Inbox" it sends me to
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth?service=mail&Email=****************@gmail.com&Passwd=*********************&null=Sign%20in&rm=false&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%23inbox
and displays the welcome screen;
- it doesn't matter whether I'm signed in already or not;
- I checked "stay signed in" on the welcome screen;

Again, as far as I can think of, no changes on my side. But maybe an
Microsoft update interfered, or Google changed something.

Hope you can help.
Regards,
Floris

BTW: I'm looking forward to the next version! Read on your page it's
coming soon??

Yeah.....

I've been working for hours today trying to find a way, (Even having
the program open a local webpage that redirects you to the inbox after
signing in.)
However, at this time there does not seem to be any way to sign into
the inbox.

This has added another problem. In order to make sure you are opening
the correct account I have to load the sign in page, but because I
cannot auto submit anymore you have to click the submit button. I
think I will add an option that will allow you to use a single account
that will be able to open the pages using your browser's persistent
cookie.

I am hoping this change is in preparation for an official Gmail API.

I will be releasing an updated version (0.8 rc1) later today.

Pfff lamers @ Google
I don't understand why typing in gmail.com opens the inbox (if signed
in before duh), but when an external program does something similair
doesn't.
Maybe you can try "IF Floris doubleclicks Gmail icon THEN GOTO
gmail.com?" ;-)

Great news everyone,

I think I found a way to automatically log into Gmail again!

Thanks for your patience while I research this.
