(NetSurf 3.2 (26th August 2014) ) Interestingly, the Help -> About window, whilst showing the version to be dated 2014, has "Copyright 2003-2011" (?) I do not enable javascript in Netsurf. I access my primary gmail account (the one from which I have posted thiis message), using Netsurf. My gmail account is set to the basic mode (I do not knpow whether that is the name of the mode, as assigned by google - it was previously displayed in the gmail window, but, is not, now). The gmail seems to be as usable as gmail is usable (it does not work with firefox, for me - the way it is displayed in firefox, is illegible). -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

I forgot all about using Gmail with MPro - works just fine here. These are the settings I have in Hermes:- POP3 mail server - pop.gmail.com Port - 995 User name - (MyEmail)@gmail.com Password - You get the picture... Secure connection selected (SSL).

I have a Gmail account as a backup, and I can now easily access it using MPro 8.01. There are full instructions that came with 8.00 as to how to set this up, but you do need a non-RISC OS machine to set it up. Thereafter RISC OS does it all.
