BleepingComputer.com: Problems With Gmail Accounts

I have been using Gmail for a few months now. At first it seemed to work very well but over the last month I get repeated problems with Error No. 102.

This can happen when opening a mail item, trying to delete a message, forwarding a message or even trying to get into the Sent Items file. (Almost anything I try to do !) I reckon it's happening 50% of the time.

I've tried asuggestion of using the alternative URL https://mail.google.com/mail/s/ but no joy.

Anybody else on Vista had problems?

Any more of it and I may have to change.

Hey there! Sorry to hear that you are having issues with GMail! I've also been using it for awhile now, and love it! My dad runs Vista and has been using GMail for over 8 months, and has never had a 102 error.. But, a friend of mine that is running Windows XP HAS gotten 102 errors... From what I understand, the 102 error in GMail is related to SMTP, not Vista.

Looking around the help center @ Gmail states that it's a known issue on their end & also suggests that another workaround to try would be to sign in using the older version of Gmail. Look at the top of any Gmail page & select Older Version.

Now using the "Older Version" and it works a treat.

Thanks for the advice.
