I am putting my money on the author clicking through the popup on OS X after you login to Gmail.com offering to keep the credentials and use them within the OS. I'll try to find a copy of this screen. IIRC it is clearly different from just Safari saving passwords but it's highly likely that people will click through it.
Edit: here is the screen I am referring to: http://photos2.appleinsidercdn.com/MLSafari2.030512.png http://photos2.appleinsidercdn.com/MLSafari2.030512.png
- spankalee 11y agoWait, so Safari recognizes when you log into Gmail and vaguely offers to let you use Apple Mail instead, which has a history of not working well with Gmail's label and archive system? That's kind of fucked up.
- mattkrea 11y agoIt does indeed. And aside from a few less-than-sane defaults I haven't had any issues with Mail and our Google Apps account at work (though I don't add accounts this way).
- davewiner 11y agoI am the OP -- never happened here. I don't use Safari for email, btw.
