Google's ISP offerings are much better. Oh wait...they'd rather do a lot of blog blabbing instead of opening their coffers to build a utopian network for the poor downtrodden consumers. Too bad Google isn't willing to put their money where their mouth says their beliefs are. The sad part is, they still have a better record than the telcos. Not only that, but Gmail essentially unlocked webmail as we know it today. Even if you don't use it, you're using a byproduct of it. Everyone is increasing space and offerings. Remember when some email offerings actually cost you money? Eudora, I'm looking at you. |

Hello,
Thank you for your report. We are aware of this problem, and our engineers are working diligently to find a solution.
If you've set Gmail to always use https and you're using the Gmail Notifier on a PC, you'll need to install an additional file.
1. Visit »google.com/mail/help/downloads/n···ttps.reg
2. Open the file.
3. Double click on the notifier_https.reg file.
4. Click 'yes' when you're asked to confirm if you want to add the information to the registry.
5. Restart the Notifier.
If you decide you no longer want to use the https setting, you'll need to install the other file included in the download to reset the Notifier. Use the same method as above with notifier_https_undo.reg.
Sincerely,
The Google Team

Hrm, they sent me a fix, for a beta product, that is free. Yeah, that is completely unacceptable.
