My Gmail account shows 50 conversations per page. I’m unable to change  
this  
setting to 25 through the gmailer-0.1.7 library. And this is three times  
weird:

irb(main):004:0\> require ‘gmailer’  
=\> true  
irb(main):005:0\> g= GMailer.connect(name,pwd)  
irb(main):007:0\> g.preference.max\_page\_size  
=\> “10”  
irb(main):008:0\> g.update\_preference(:max\_page\_size=\>964000)  
=\> true  
irb(main):009:0\> g.update\_preference (:max\_page\_size=\>25)  
=\> true

Is it just because I’m a Ruby monkey ?
