Parsing of unread count only works in English, original GMail (not e.g. German GApps)

[Florian Heinle]

The current implementation that parses gmail's html code makes to many assumptions about what strings are present. As a result, parsing fails and no unread notifications show when there is unread mail.

As a (1) German user of (2) Google Apps the script fails for me at two points: First, the string "navigate to" is translated to German in my GMail, hence cannot be found. Second, my Google Apps domain uses "Foo-Mail" as a title, hence the button that usually reads GMail (and leads to a dropbox of Mail, contacts and tasks) reads "Foo-Mail" for me.

I managed to get things working on my machine, patch is included.

Florian's patch fixes new mail notifications for me (Google Apps set to proper English instead of US). The Compose New Message quicklist function still does not work, it simply switches to the Gmail tab. The messaging menu also lists new messages, but it does so for every label, quich is quite cumbersome as it adds 14 items to the menu. If this is the intended functionality and not an issue with the patch, then I'll file this in a separate bug.

Is it really fixed ?

[Antoine Apollis (apollisa)]

I have also Google Apps with Gmail set in French and the icon doesn’t show the number of unread messages. I have the latest version of the package (2.4.7) although.

Oh, sorry, then the other bug is the duplicate of this one :)

Just to clarify that an older bug is not necessarily always the master bug, but in this case this bug has a patch so it is better to use this bug as the base for duplicate bugs. Thanks.

  * The test for a Gmail or mail title was removed. The text is not
    always exactly equal to this. When this function is called, its
    already determined that this page is Gmail. (LP: #1069576)
