you are right, gmail doesn't support opera below and including version 7.54 ( I don't have any feedback with version 7.55), but it does run fine with opera 8.00beta on a PC. Hopefully someone (cf IBM Websphere ?) will port Opera 8.00 to the Zaurus when it's out ...

BTW if you want to use the powerfull search features of gmail from any web browser it's possible with gmail-lite :

Logged into Gmail today to find the New Feature was there.

Being the curious kind I clicked and got this:

Not just any old computer. Actually, yes, any old computer!
Basic HTML view lets you access your Gmail messages from almost any computer running almost any web browser, even old ones (not just IE5.5+, Mozilla, and Safari). Especially great for traveling, since you never know what kind of browser that internet café in Siberia is going to have. Learn more

Which leads to:

If you sign in to Gmail using a browser that isn't fully supported, you'll automatically be directed to a basic HTML view of our service. To make sure that you can always access your mail, we’ve developed this basic HTML view that is compatible with almost any browser.

Since your browser isn't fully supported, you might notice that some of your favorite features aren’t available in the current view, including the following:

    * Filter creation
    * Settings
    * Spell checker
    * Keyboard shortcuts
    * Address auto-complete

For access to all of Gmail’s features, sign in to your account from a fully supported browser, and make sure you have cookies and JavaScript enabled.

Fired up NetFront on the Z and sure enough I can log in and check my email using my Z.

I've been told, but haven't tested yet, that is you use
https://gmail.com?NoBrowserCheck then opera will work with all the bells and whistles.

I'll report back after further testing

I've tried it with Opera 6 on OpenZaurus and it seems to work fine.

**edit**

deleted due to redundant info

Last time I read this thread, this issue hadn't been solved. I should have read it again before posting. Oh well.... live and learn.

You don't even need a browser to read gmail. You can use Sharp email client with stunnel to read gmail via SSL. I do that myself.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=62775\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

[NEWBIE speaking: please forgive my cluelesness...]

I have a Zaurus and don't know much about anything...

I understand that QTmail can't download from my Gmail account unless I enable SSL . Now QTMail is built in to the ROM so I would have to rebuild the ROM (whatever that means!).  So i had given up on this idea.  But you seem to suggest that installing "stunnel" will allow me to download mail from Gmail using the standard Qtopia QTMail? I have downloaded stunnel. Now it says something about openssl-0.9.6g library.  I am downloading this too.  But people are rather cryptic in their instructions here!  Would I put this openssl-0.9.6g  in the \libs directory?

Well, I'm back! Installed the ipk's for stunnel and openssl. Configured GMail for pop-access; set up the smtp and pop server in qtmail (using 465 for SMTP port). Qtmail gets to "connction established" with gmail and then justs sits there. Help anyone?!

to bump this thread alive again...

Has anyone some specific info on how to use the Sharp email client to download gmail ?
Ok Stunnel, then what ?

To have stunnel and QtMail working properly I guess I need to wait till the new Cacko 1.23 for the C1000 ?

Thanks for any help here.

I was able to get my Z to download my gmail with stunnel but not send. Did you setup QTmail to connect to localhost port 465? that's what it took for me.

*edit

I should also mention that when you install stunnel you need to edit the inetd.conf file to set up the tunnels, you didn't mention if you did that.

Thanks a lot

I thought the gmail port should be 995.
Could you specify what changes to the inetd.conf file should be made ???
