I thought this was a n00b question..

[RaytheRed]

I tried to search for this but I am really lost on all the different post..

My issue is I am trying to expand my rainmeter use to now include the GMail additions.

I have been able to open the .ini file and I think I understand it but I am still running into issues:

the GMail I want to use is not based on gmail.google.com or gmail.com.. mine is based from gmail.nolo.com (yes work has moved to gmail)
so how do I change things around to accept this? is it possible?

also I see the programmer has place #user.name#:#user.password# do I remove the #'s? and what if a password starts with #? does this screw me over more?

any help would be great and thanks in advance. :love:

Sorry I should add I am trying to get this working using the Gnometer GMail theme

The #user.name# and #user.password# are two variables that you can probably change trough some settings app included or something. Easiest would be find that and input your information. What skin are you using?

As for passwords beginning with # no, no problem, # are used in rainmeter to show that you use a variable, you would need one at each side, and even then you password would have to be the same as the name of a variable which is very unlikely

Ah gomemeter.

Ok, I presume you running the latest rainmeter and gnometer?
If so, right click on the gmail theme, go up to gnometer in that menu in the new menu choose settings.ini. That should open a new theme, select Gcal/Gmail, that will open a window where you can input your details. Just input you name and password there and try that

Thank you for that, I couldn't find that before.

Sadly though it still not work as you can only enter XXX@gmail.com when the we have XXX@company.com

Also with that said when we log in using a web browser we have to goto gmail.company.com is there a way to change this?

No guarantees but we can give it a try...

ok, we need to edit the theme a bit, as you already know how to open that up i wont walk you trough that.

Find the URL where it says
https://#mail.User#:#mail.Pass#@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom

Now replace that line with
https://#mail.User#:#mail.Pass#@gmail.nolo.com/gmail/feed/atom

hopefully company mails hosted at gmail also provides their users with a rss feed

If the url i provided above doesn't work maybe you can check if there is a rss, easiest would be to login with firefox and look at the right part of the url bar, if a rss feed is available there will be an icon there that will take you to it, if there is post it here

the RSS feed reads: https://mail.google.com/a/nolo.com/feed/atom

now I have tried entering it in as:

Url=https://#mail.User#:#mail.Pass#@mail.google.com/a/nolo.com/feed/atom

But still nothing..

Edit:
I also tried to use:
Url=https://#mail.User#:#mail.Pass#@google.com/a/nolo.com/feed/atom

Hmmm the first one of those should have worked :/
Cant think of anything right now, and it's hard for me to try stuff seeing how I can't log in there either way :P

Hopefully someone else will have an idea or two

[RaytheRed]

Thanks for trying.. really wish I could get this working

Anyone else have a thought why this is not working?

[Leonick]

The question i am asking myself right now is, have such authentication that we are trying with the username.password@address maybe been deactivated for you company mail? Because if the have deactivated such authentication that would answer that, but the why would the feed still be there as you can't reach it anyway...
