    problems loading gmail
    « on: October 12, 2006, 07:07:04 AM »
    I've just got myself a g-mail account but I seem to have problems loading it with firefox.

    I can view my messages with basic html view but it won't load with the standard it says:

    Loading...

    This seems to be taking longer than usual.

    If you are using a slow Internet connection, you can wait a bit longer for this page to finish loading, or just use basic HTML view for now.

    If you are using your normal Internet connection and you usually get past this loading step without any problems, please refresh this page in your browser. If you continue to have trouble loading your account, please visit the help center for troubleshooting information.

    It loads normally with Internet Explorer but I don't really want to use IE, does anybody have any suggestions???

    They would be much appreciated

    I see that "Gmail is in a limited test period and is only available to a small number of people who are helping test and improve the service before it is made more widely available."  

    So, I'd think it's no surprise that some problems with it may be encountered.  Why don't you report the problem to Google?  That's generally the reason for making beta versions available to the public; it's a way for the developer to have end users try the software and submit feedback to the developer.

      As you use it more it will load faster thru FireFox...

      I just run it thru TBird  I don't want or need to see my mail thru their portal.

          Did you deny the cookie?

            Thinking is not enough, you're going to have to know.  :)

            If the cookie isn't blocked, empty the cache, history and the like (CTR + SHIFT + DEL) and reconnect to Gmail.com

              It's because I'm on such good terms with Firefox.  ;)

              You can obtain step by step instructions on how this is done from your g-mail page...

              Let me know if you need any help.

                Yes I did follow the instructions given in gmail but it doesn't work, I'm not sure if this is because of my aol accounts. I want to be able to use my aol accounts and gmail through Tbird. This is possible right?

                Should be.

                Post screenshots of how you configured Thunderbird.

                I also use Gmail with Thunderbird.
