Here’s a version that uses XULRunner instead:

Ben: There was no secret. I don’t know why your version won’t let you click on links. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Dumb question;

I was playing around with WebKit for a while, and not once did my builds allow me to click on gMail links. What is your secret? Obscure JavaScript libraries? I didn't spot it in your "10 lines of code."

That said, I'm an objective-C newb.

I really enjoy using the Webmail.app if only I could figure out why some of the links don’t want to let me click on them.

Michael, I spent all weekend hacking on WebMail trying to get it to support multiple GMail accounts in different tabs. I actually have a fully working tabified version (using the PSMTabBarControl http://www.positivespinmedia.com/dev/PSMTabBarControl.html) announced on Adium’s blog a while back), but I can’t get around the cookie limitation in the WebKit framework.

Is this even possible with WebKit? The shared cookie storage model seems impossible to get around. A product exists to do this for Firefox (cookiepie) but the WebKit API doesn’t seem to have as many hooks as FF.

I’d be interested to know what you think about this.. I have 3 gmail accounts and I don’t want to combine them. Eventually Google calendar will work with WebKit, and it would be nice to be able to access your Google “suite” separately for each account.

Thanks, Robert

Alex: Thanks – I’ll forward your comments along to the guy who mentioned he’s building a more serious version of WebMail.

Things that would get me to LOVE this… 1) Work with hosted email — my login page is different, and I can’t customize it without recompiling.. 2) Add a Logo, steal the thing from the Gmail notifier 3) Those of us with Hosted Gmail can’t use the Gmail notifier, but if WebMail would register itself as an email program, I’d love it… i.e. have WebMail handle mailto: links 4) Is there Cookie Support? I can’t log in because my account is hosted, but I assume that once I log in, if I send cookies, WebMail.app keeps it, right? How about a 5) Extra “tabs” configurable in Preferences. The other tabs should be things like the Calendar, complete with a separate URL.

I understand that you aren’t interested in working with this, but thought that I’d share my comments.
