gmail konqueror

Will konqueror ever fully support gmail?

Will it? Gmail already looks and works great on my Konqueror browser.

KDE even has an applet that sits on your task bar and notifies you if any new mail arrives in your G-mail account. It's called KCheckGmail.

Really, are you using the HTML version? If not, what browser identification are you using?

If I log in normally, it directs me to the HTML version which is somewhat lacking. If I change the browser identification, I get regular crashes, usually when I compose. I'm using kde 3.4, but I had the same problem with 3.3.

Yup, I go directly to www.gmail.com

I'm using KDE/Konqueror 3.3.2 and I have my brower ident. set to Netscape 3.01. I suppose the version I'm using is the HTML version (?)

That's the HTML version. It doesn't have all the nice features like address autocomplete and keyboard shortcuts that I can get with firefox. Thanks anyway.

As far as I understand the situation GMail requires some combination of JavaScript and XML communication methods in the browser for its full potential.

Actually some have been implemented in 3.4, not sure how much is missing and how much the browser check on GMail's side is assuming missing.

You could try a browser identification string of a more recent browser.
