A couple of my gmail widgets have been broken recently,
one is a python script with pygmail, the other is gmail's *own*
widget.

When I click the inbox button, it automatically logs me in (usually)
but now I simply get an error message.

Also the Mobile Java App dosn't seem to work (They don't list it on their Mobile site anymore either)

[put at-character here]Mrrix32:
It still works and you can find it here: http://www.google.com/mobile/default/mail/index.html . Most likely, you've enabled "always use https" in Gmail's settings, but you forgot to enable the similar setting from the app's settings.
