KCheckGmail crashes with signal 11 (SIGSEGV) when it tries to log in.

I tried with and without "@gmail.com"

Always when I see settings, password is changed to three letters.

kcheckgmail is broken for a few days now; maybe gmail changed sth in their protocol? Error message is "Unknown Error retrieving cookies". Running Debian unstable, kcheckgmail 0.5.5.

Hi, the new version works just fine and has some new features, check it here: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KCheckGMail?content=57992
I'm maintaining a debian package for testing here: http://deb.atomo64.puffinhost.com/
I hope the Debian maintainer will upload the new package soon.

Hey, i've fixed that, there was problem in kcheckgmailtray.cpp, the developer left buggy checking for password length. The application works, seems good )

If you want to get fixed version mail me on [email protected] :)

I maintain two gmail accounts (one for lists, public things, etc, and the other for professional reasons) and it would truly be great if this application supported multiple accounts.

Right now, the only thing I've found that does this is the GMail Manager firefox extension -- which works great, but I'm currently attempting to rid myself of my firefox dependence.

Thanks, and great job on this app!

No matter how many time I try I can't get it to remember more than 3 characters out of the password. Each time I bring up the config dialog there are only 3 stars. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance.

I still get an 'invalid user name or password' error. For some reason, it works if I start it from the command line. If it's started from the k-menu, or as part of a kde session, it won't log in.

Ok. Odd, I know, but I removed the first one I installed, recompiled from fresh extract of the tar with debug enabled. And now it works fine. No idea what changed. Could be some odd ball upgrade I happened to do in between or something. Or maybe I did something different this time than I did last time (who knows what though).

Cool program. :)

Hi,
This backtrace is only really helpful if kcheckgmail is compiled with debugging enabled.

I'm getting the same error on SuSE 9.3 Pro. Was going to post the backtrace as well, but you beat me to it. :)

Please post if you get it figured out. I'll do the same.
