Opening mail threads in secondary accounts.

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I have 3 accounts that I monitor with Gmail Notifr.

The first account is my personal account, and receives the most mail. It's usually the one I have open in my browser. The other 2 accounts are associated with different projects I work on, and receive mail only occasionally.

Whenever I receive an e-mail in my primary account, I get a Growl notification, and I can click on it to open that message in my browser. That part works fine.

When I receive a message in one of my secondary accounts, I get a Growl notification too. When I click on it, I get taken to my primary account in Gmail, and I get an error that says "The conversation that you requested no longer exists".

In order to see my message, I click on the Accounts menu (top-right corner of the Gmail screen), and select the appropriate account. Gmail then acts like it is opening my secondary account, but bounces me back into my primary account. I repeat this step once more, and only on the second time does it work.

So, in summary: clicking on the Growl notification for an e-mail in a secondary account causes Gmail to open/look for the thread in my primary account and fail with an error. Subsequently attempting to switch to the appropriate account fails the first time, and works the second time. (This last part might be a bug on Google's side).

Thanks for your help.

This is a known issue. Unfortunately haven't found a way to fix this yet. More discussions: ashchan/mail-notifr#8

PS: Gmail does have problem switching between multiple accounts.

Thanks for the update. I looked at the other issue thread, and saw there was a fix for Chrome and Firefox. I pulled and build the HEAD, and can confirm that this fixed the issue for me in Chrome.

It's such a relief to be able to read those e-mails to my secondary account with 1 click instead of 3-4!

Thanks again!
