Are you trying to use the Gmail web-based email for your email, or a 3rd party application such as Outlook express?

[psh]

just gmail.

Are you using the gmail notifier? If so, what browser is it set to use and is the box checked to use it for mailto links?

My EXACT thought....I thought you were just filling in forms on a website? What the heck does that have to do with mailing something?

[psh]

yep i am using it
the box is checked
and its set to system default

Some forms, and I can't be sure about this one, actually prompt the computer to use the mail program to send, and I haven't tried this one...so this may be the case...

[psh]

i have just changed the setting to i.e
and still nothing!
psh

That setting really doesn't make a difference, as it's only for telling the notifier what browser to open the inbox in. this sounds like a browser issue. Do you get the same thing in Firefox?

I did try it and it's all web-based, so it shouldn't be polling that in the first place...

[psh]

at first when i tried firefox it was fine!
but after a while it started bringing error pages up when i tried to upload some music files.
i have managed to enter the fishing comp through firefox though.
so i too think it is definately a browser problem, now all the viruses are gone!
psh

another thing to mention is my dr speedtouch diagnostics,
when i run a test it gets as far as the internet picture then fails
saying that theres a problem connecting to the internet, even when im already on it?

Go to your gmail settings and tell us what they are....What do you have for Outgoing Message encoding?
