As you know gmail takes a loooong time to login.If you are using dial-up connection it will be a nigh mare for you to check the mail , daily as it will take 4 or 5 minutes to login to the account , some times to make things worse we may not be able to login at all from a slower connection!!.
Here is a little trick that will save you great a lot of time in logging into gmail..
Step 1:Get Firefox 2.x, and install it
Step 2:After installing go to tool=>options. Select the "Main" tab. Under
that you will see the "When Firefox Starts" option, change its value
to "Show Windows and tabs from last time"
Step 3:Now go to gmail.com and login. After you have finished login do not
logout just close the firefox it will ask for a confirmation if you keep
2 or more windows open
Step 4:Go to Start => Run and time "firefox -ProfileManager" and hit enter
a window will pop-up asking you to choose your profile, select the
default profile and rename it to "gmail" or something and then
choose to create a new profile for your normal usage offline or online
Also uncheck the "Don't ask at start up" option and close the box.
Voilla!!! next time you want to check your gmail open up firefox and a pop up window asking you to select the profile will pop up, Select the "gmail" profile and go to the gmail tab . It will automatically load your gmail inbox without logging in!!!
Note: This method is not secure since everyone who uses your computer wil have access to your gmail account.I am writing a plugin that will allows you to password protect your session
hope this will help you...see ya next time...
