401 Unauthorised Fix

Gmail recently changed the login procedure, resulting in this error. To fix this issue, please use the latest version from SVN -- the easiest way to do this is to run checkgmail -update from the commandline and follow the prompts.

I have the same problem. I updated as per Christian's suggestion, but still get the unauthorised 401 error. Any other ideas?

As said in http://<email address hidden>/msg1704869.html you can run:

  checkgmail -no_cookies

and it will work, but when you click on the icon it only opens a new firefox tab and you'll have to enter your password to login.

for me its working again. after

sudo checkgmail -update

working again for me as well after the update (sudo checkgmail -update)

thanks alot everyone

In my case only changing my public IP address helped,more information can be found here :

Same problem on Ubuntu Karmic beta.

issue is back. it's dependant upon the ip. not working in Karmic Beta, updated.

They fixed it in svn (check the checkgmail website). It should be just the matter of committing the change in the ubuntu version.

Anyone struggling should run "checkgmail --update" from the command line, and then enter "Y" when asked if you want to update.

thanks alot Greg!!!

i didn't notice that i should type a big Y and i always didn't realise it wasn't updating :)

SOLVED!
