Windows Vista Problems with Gmail Accounts Part 2

[nivrip]

I have been using Gmail for a few months now. At first it seemed to work very well but over the last month I get repeated problems with Error No. 102.

This can happen when opening a mail item, trying to delete a message, forwarding a message or even trying to get into the Sent Items file. (Almost anything I try to do !) I reckon it's happening 50% of the time.

There was a thread running from 2005 to 2007 about Gmail and almost everyone seemed very happy with it. However, that was pre-Vista days and I am wondering if people on Vista who use Gmail are having any problems.

Any more of it and I may have to change.

It looks like someone else has this problem just a few days ago, and the recommendation was to try a new login URL:

https://mail.google.com/mail/s/

http://groups.google.com.au/group/G.../f0b9a1a4168692fb?lnk=gst&q=#f0b9a1a4168692fb

Not sure if that will work, but worth a shot

Not sure whether to post this here, or in Ian "coincidence's" thread.


Because it's the same thing I said to the woman at BT.


No problems with gmail.

Thanks for that, Ian. Given it a try but no joy.

Any other ideas?

Did you see that your Error 102, is generally called an "Oops Error" and if so, did you see this?

'Oops...' errors

If you're seeing an 'Oops...' error, it's usually caused by your browser's settings or by security software that conflicts with Google Mail.

Here On the same page, there is a trouble shooter link you can click, which might help? That's if you've not tried that already, of course

(I'm also using googlemail with Vista, without any problems )

Thanks for the link, TC. You're quite right, it is an Oops Error but I didn't see the link - some saying about wood and trees springs to mind.

I'll check it out when I have more time.

 

[nivrip]

Yes. I think the problem may well be solved.

Following the hints on the troubleshooter (must take a trip to the Optician) I changed the URL to the "old" version http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1 and everything seems to be working correctly.

I have now been released from the asylum and will gradually get off the antidepressants.

Thanks for that link, TC.

My pleasure Niv, glad you've managed to sort it out now
