Bug Description
In cGmail 0.5, the 'open mail reader' button was removed for Gmail accounts. While most of the time this is reasonable, some people, like myself, view their Gmail in a separate application from their web browser. In my case, this application is Prism. Due to this change in cGmail, I can no longer open my gmail account in prism with one click.
I suggest the following solution: add an option to the account dialog that allows the user to choose to use either their browser, mail reader, or some other application to open their gmail account.
while IMAP can provide a workaround for this, I'd much rather use the more-efficient gmail method if at all possible. So, until this bug gets fixed I am returning to 0.4.
Set to wishlist, patches are welcome.
