I’m trying to integrate the GMailer libray into my rails project but I’m  
having problems even making a selection.

using

foo = GMailer.connect(“cpjolicoeur”, “mypassword”)

I get the following error.

RuntimeError: Not connected, verify the credentials.  
from ./script/…/config/…/config/…/lib/gmailer.rb:123:in  
`initialize' from ./script/../config/../config/../lib/gmailer.rb:1767:in`new’  
from ./script/…/config/…/config/…/lib/gmailer.rb:1767:in  
`connect’  
from (irb):2

has GMail changed their protocol or am I doing something incorrect?

Hi,

First, try with the latest version gmailer 0.1.4.

If ithat does not help, please send me the debug output  
after removing # of np.set\_debug\_output($stderr) in gmailer.rb.

Regards,

Park H.

Random tangent, there’s a Python library which allows you to use Gmail  
as a network drive on Linux.
