Please make gmail work with google apps custom domain names

[carigis]

Id love to use the gmail feature but have my own domain name through google apps and the program doesn't seem to support support it. It only seems to support a regular @gmail.com account.

is there anyway that Im missing to set this program up so you can login to a google apps gmail account? or possibly add this to the next edition..

thanks

First, just for the record, this is a question specifically about the Enigma skin, rather than Rainmeter itself, so other questions like this should go in the Enigma support or development threads. But no worries. :)

If your Google Apps server has an RSS or Atom feed enabled for your inbox, then this is possible. At its heart, the Gmail skin is really just a glorified feed reader; as long as there's some way to get your inbox contents into the source code of a webpage, we can fetch it easily. I've talked to Google Apps users in the past, and they indicated that no feed was available, but if this has changed, then great.

There IS a feed available now.
It would be http://mail.google.com/a/WEBSITE/feed/atom .
I didn't test this, so please report if it worked for you

I just got this working for my domain. Here's what I did:

In Gmail.ini, under [MeasureFeed] change the URL value to:
URL=https://#GmailUsername#:#GmailPassword#@mail.google.com/a/<yourdomain.com>/feed/atom

and obviously replace <yourdomain.com> with, well, your domain.

then the important part I kept missing - in the Enigma options.ini for "Gmail Username", enter your full domain email address, BUT replace the "@" sign with "%40". since the URL is created by prepending the username and password with an "@" sign to the front of the hostname, the "@" sign in the full email address was messing it up. so when your set username and password get parsed into the URL, here is what it will look like:

Code: Select all

https://user%40domain.com:mypassword@mail.google.com/a/domain.com/feed/atom

HTH

Nice. I have been trying for the last hour to figure out how to use Gmail notifier for a Google Apps domain.
