Google GMail Widget Woes

I’ve been using some of the personalized homepage widgets on Google’s website lately, most specifically the GMail widget. It was working for a while, but I suspect there is something wrong with it as of late. I started noticing that I wasn’t getting any email.

What actually happened, and I was able to verify without certainty, was the GMail widget must have been moving my email directly to the All Mail category, out of the inbox. It started about a week ago. I checked the all mail and there were about 7 days worth of mail I had missed.

Anyone else experience this? If not, I’d recommend keeping an eye on the All Mail category just in case it is moving your mail over.

    Well, it seems that may not have been the case. I disabled POP3 access in GMail to prevent this from happening and it seems firefox was complaining about not being able to connect.

    I don’t remember setting up firefox to keep tabs on my mail, so maybe I should look into removing that information.
