- staunch 17y agoIt's been years and I still can't even filter/search using regexps or using my own custom headers.
- jonursenbach 17y agoI'd love to be able to advance to a green belt ninja, but alas Video Chat is not available on Linux.
- reedlaw 17y agoOne thing I've never been able to figure out is how to get all elements of the page to render securely. It seems in every browser I've tried, Gmail pops up a message asking if I want to display insecure elements. Is this safe, since I don't know which elements are displayed insecurely?
- brown9-2 17y agoIt's not Gmail popping up that warning, it's your browser. (Although yes, it's gmail generating the links to both insecure and secure content, but distinctions are important to make) By the way, just bookmark the https version of the site. Then you never have to worry about secure/insecure.
- reedlaw 17y agoYes, I meant the browser. Under Gmail Master there is a tip on how to always access your mail via https. I have that on, and always use https://www.gmail.com/ https://www.gmail.com/ in my browser, but there are still some elements that display insecurely, at least in Chrome. I just checked Firefox 3.5RC2 and IE8 and dodn't get this problem anymore. Update: I just cleared Chrome's cache and now it works.
- dantheman 17y agoHow is this not the # green belt feature: Access your mail via https. Everyone should be doing that, it's like a 10 second config change to gmail.
