Support for new Gmail?
 
Has anyone tried accessing their Gmail account? Looks like they're going to end support for the current version of Gmail in September unless there is an upgrade to a more modern browser.

Is there anything that could be done?

I don't use the current browser based gmail anyway as it is already too slow on the NITs due to all the javascript.

I have gmail setup as an imap account with the inbuilt email client, checking every 5 minutes and it works great for me personally. I still tend to use the full gmail version on a PC every now and then though, like I still use outlook even though I have a blackberry.

I have and it seems to work pretty alright i'd say. It might have become a tad slower but its almost unnoticeable. You can always use the basic html should you not like the new gmail.

EDIT: My bad I did not see the thread is for Maemo4. I was referring to Maemo5/N900.

I just noticed this myself today when going to gmail on my N810.
Is this a microB limitation only or does it apply to the other Maemo4 browsers that I, currently, don't use: Opera and Tear?

Would it also be possible to circumvent this by using a different useragent in microB?

Using N800 / Diablo & I'm seeing the "ending support" message when using microb but not when using Tear.

Thanks, sigh, I'd really hate having to use Tear.
I'll play with some useragent settings and see if I can get that to work.

Use Opera Mobile. It's awesome and kills microb in almost every way.

Use Opera and html version of gmail. Works perfect.

There is no any message about new gmail and old browsers in Russian version of gmail.

Yesterday i went there and it does feel slow and unresponsive, and this is with my N900

Still works good for me.

I always use the basic html site for Diablo. Mobile is terrible however...

part of what gave me a bad impression was probably the "infinite redirect loop" glitch warming up

Using Firefox on my N810, the NEW Gmail seems to work A LOT better than the previous one (or the default one MicroB). I say this because, while still slow, it doesn't hang like the previous version and the chat functions work perfectly (chat didn't work on the previous version at all.)

Re: Support for new Gmail?
 
when microB isn't glitching on me, both the basic HTML and the regular version seems to be working just fine for me (N900 here), well, the standart doesn't provide feedback for where exacly i clicked somtimes, but other than that it works just fine
