allowing popups in gmail

[Mike]

Hi,
I am using the google toolbar and I am also using the popup blocker
feature.
Each time I try to download an attachament in gmail, the page that
contains the attachment is blocked, and I have to go manualy and tell
it to allow the popup so I can download the attachment.
Does anyone know of a way to set it such that all popus from gmail are
allowed forever? I tried telling it to allow popups right after I log
into my gmail account, but that is not permanent. Each time I log in
again popups are blocked again.

Thanks for the help.

either toss the google toolbar popup blocker and use the one you get
with IE on Windows XP SP2 or toss the whole thing and use Firefox

Tossing is not allowed.
I know that that would do it. I was just wondering if someone had found
a way to allow popups permanentnly in gmail using the google taskbar.

sorry, I gave IE up over 1 year ago... it's a bad habit.

Sri Kat: that is Google's answer, but I have the same problem and it's
an example of very poor coordination. Normally Google is good at this
kind of thing, but here they have two software products that don't work
well together. The problem is that you click allow popups and then
when you have a new browser instance the Toolbar forgets that you have
allowed it.

The only solution I've come up with is to hold down the CTRL key, which
works, but is a lame work around.

Exactly Andrew.
Thanks for the CTRL key trick. I didn't know about that, and even
though it's still annoying, it's better than having to click on the
"blocked" button, and have it reload gmail in your inbox. (rather than
in the specific email that contains the attachment you are trying to
view)
