That's my question. Seems like a good way to steal GMail passwords if the site is not legit.

I second that question. This has come up before...nothing new. I just wanna know if they have access to your password and stuff.

I posted this a while back. There were the same concerns about UN & PW. I contacted the dev and he told me that he could not guarantee the security of ones UN & PW. It does work well if you really need it.

No one, this was posted a while back, and the author asked if people wouldn't use the script that is hosted on their server for usage... he has it up to demonstrate... Go through the script on your own and host it on your own computer if you want to use it.

I personally will be using my MultiIE to check my Gmail remotely. Why use an unknown middle-man like "GMail Lite" when you can log on to the OFFICIAL Gmail site and enter your information in a secure fashion?

I dunno... maybe it's just me...

Anway, has anyone stumbled upon an actual program that lets you sync your Pocket Inbox with the Gmail servers to download your Gmail remotely without the need to transfer email over from your desktop?

Thanks in advance.

MultiIE works with the full Gmail?

I'd be surprised if it does, it's an overlay for IE. If NetFront can't do it, I would think that MultiIE wouldn't be able to do it. If ti does, wonderful.

This is why there is a need for GMail lite. And no, there's nothing @ the present time that allows you to configure your Gmail account with Pocket Outlook. gPopper is the only app currently on the market that provides POP access for Gmail on the Desktop.

GMail has recently added a setting to "Forward a copy of incoming mail to..."

granted, it's not true POP access, but you can at least receive messages

see http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0...&tid=215&tid=1 for /. commentary

And for what it's worth, IMHO gPopper is a fairly crappy piece of software ... Buggy and it only works with ONE Gmail account and needs access to the Gmail password as well, thus is could not be used easily in small offices/businesses with multiple users accessing Gmail accounts. A true POP3 relay should accept whatever credentials are provided and use these to access the corresponding Gmail account without forcing a notifier option onto the user and asking for the password.

And gPopper is not even open source, so in order to protect the integrity of your Gmail password you'd have to either monitor your network connections extremely carefully or just decompile the .NET assemblies using .NET Reflector and take a look at the source code yourself to be certain that a copy of the password is not secretly sent to someone else.

Call me paranoid, but these things have been known to happen

PS: Take a look at http://www.aimlesswords.com/archives/gmail_pop3/ for a list of other Gmail-compatible POP3 solutions.

There is always a risk involved if you pass your unencrypted password into unknown hands just for the convienence of reading Gmail on your PDA, but for what it's worth, Gmail Lite is also an open source project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmail-lite/ so if you host it on your own site you should be fairly safe here.

wooch

I'm not wild about gPopper either. I think I used it once, and haven't used it since. I like the Gmail web interface anyhow. I agree with your security concerns as well.

if you are worried about security, just set it up on your own site

that link you have is just someone who made a site from
http://gmail-lite.sourceforge.net/

you can set it up on your own webspace also, i am going to popit up on a site sometime soon i think
