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...
Also when I try to use the gnome .ini sign in it still reads @gmail.con is there a way to change that part of the app? really needs to be @nolo.com

*sigh* alright.. that is where I place my user name and password. should I have instead placed it in the .ini here:
Url=https://#mail.User#:#mail.Pass#@google.com/a/nolo.com/feed/atom

as in: (example not real of course)
Url=https://#mail.trogerrabbit#:#mail.#14sixteen23wilcoi#@google.com/a/nolo.com/feed/atom
?

again sorry I am a bit new to this..

It should be:
https://trogerrabbit:14sixteen23wilcoi@google.com/a/nolo.com/feed/atom

Don't know if that'll work, though.

no no no that is correct that is where you should type it in, that app he saves that info so it can be loaded in to the skin.. it's a way to make it user friendly, get people out of the configs...

you still could write it in the config though, as poiru said.

and that would be if trogerrabbit were you username and 14sixteen23wilcoi were you password

I pasted:
https://trogerrabbit:#14sixteen23wilcoi@google.com/a/nolo.com/feed/atom

into the .ini file, changed it to my real user and password (still wondering if the # is the issue) and sadly no I am still getting "no new mail" even though I know I have 4 unreads in the box... so unless there are more ideas, I am thinking this will not work due to my works gimpiness.. :(

Thank you both though for helping!

It's probably the service provider, not you ;)

heh.. no comment on that.

From what I understand my company nolo.com is contracted to gmail for our email services, hence the gmail.nolo.com

I just was hoping since we use the gmail interface that the gnometer would still be able to read the inbox. I simply refuse to use the damn google desktop anymore. it works and all but it is so ugly, bulky and zero ability to move things around like rainmeter.
