How has the app been running on your comp? Are you getting it to refresh pretty quick. I've tried a few different scenarios with and without gmail running and can't get any consistency in a reload.
Let me know when you throw out a new release.
Professional programmer?
hardly. This is my first bit of code that actually interacts with another program. The only other thing I've really built is my own little
NetDetect program. And it's actually quite similar to many other programs on this site. lol.
The app is running great now. Updates the count and indicators almost as soon as the email count is changed, up or down or all read. There will be a slight consistency issue as it's reloading the webpage, so if the site is slow, the connect is used by something else, or many other things, it can vary. But with the force reload, it should be more consistent now
You don't need Gmail to be running elsewhere, as the program does it in the background.
