    Be careful with Gmail pop access and plugins. http://benstrawbridge.com/wp/2006/05/12/be-careful-with-gmail-pop-access-and-plugins/ http://benstrawbridge.com/wp/2006/05/12/be-careful-with-gmail-pop-access-and-plugins/#comments Sat, 13 May 2006 01:39:49 +0000 benstraw http://benstraw.com/wp/2006/05/12/be-careful-with-gmail-pop-access-and-plugins/ I installed Larry’s Gmail indexer today. It recommended that I reset the pop settings on gmail so it would be able to index all of my mail. What I didn’t realize was that it would do so in a way that google considers abusive… Here are the logs from Larry’s indexer:

    Every 2 - 3 minutes it was grabbing 300 messages! I don’t delete from gmail, so I have thousands of messages in my inbox (not sure if this thing is indexing spam too, in which case there are 10’s of thousands of messages…)

    So I got the infimous “Lockdown in Sector 4″ Gmail screen *(see below) which states that my access has been disabled for “Up to 24 hours…” we’ll see how long that is.

    Good thing G-Mail is my primary email client… good thing it’s Friday afternoon!


    Lockdown in Sector 4

    The state of Massachusetts has laid out a plan to switch all its workers away from Microsoft’s Word, Excel and other desktop software applications, delivering what would be one of the most significant setbacks to the software company’s battle against open-source software in its home market.

    TOKYO — Will the digital age bring an end to squabbles over which TV channel to watch? Sharp Corp. is coming out with a new product that may help. The Japanese electronics firm has developed a liquid-crystal display that shows totally different images to people viewing the screen from the left and the right.
