I understand that there are still reasons some prefer using the older version of Gmail. And I always like to be to be reminded why I wrote this script. Thanks.

It is always good to hear about people finding that this script is useful and that it works properly. Thanks.

It is good to know that you find this script useful. In fact, one of the reasons I wrote this script is because there were users who use scripts that only work with the older version of Gmail. And I thought those users would prefer not to have to click the link to use the older version.

Thanks.

It is good to know that the script is working correctly and that you like to use it. Thanks for the positive feedback.

The update to make the script work when accessing Gmail from iGoogle was made as per a request from a user of the script. And I decided to add the option to redirect to a URL so that the connection to Gmail would be secure because I thought some users might want that option. In fact, I thought quite a few users would prefer using a secure connection, and that is why I have it set to redirect to a secure connection by default. And it is good to know that you are one of those users who like that new feature.

Thanks.

Thanks. It is always good to hear about how useful this script is. And I understand that the workaround of changing the display language to "English (UK)" is one that will not work for much longer. Therefore, this script may become even more useful in the future.

I added this script's ability to work with the Gmail Notifier extension after a user of it said that it did not work with that extension. Whenever I find out about ways to improve this script, I try to make those improvements.

Thanks again.

Thanks. Comments such as those are what motivate me to maintain this script. I have also started using it more often, and so I will be more likely to continue to ensure it will work properly.

Thanks again.

I have updated this script once again to ensure that it will work more reliably. I have run tests on it, and found that it works correctly. I would appreciate it if I could be informed if any users of this script are still having difficulty with it. I am not always able to ensure that it is working properly, as I have noted here.

I have updated this script so that it should work when accessing Gmail through the Gmail Notifier extension. It also seems to redirect more quickly and efficiently than it did previously. I have tested this script after these most recent updates, and it works properly when I try to use it. However, if this script does not actually work as intended, I would like to be informed of any issues with it as soon as possible.

I have modified this script so that when using Gmail with a non-secure connection, it will once again redirect the user to the older version of Gmail. I have tested it out and should work properly.

I have updated this script and I have found that it once again successfully redirects the user to the older version of Gmail. I have modified it so that it should work more reliably now and in the future, as it now handles more situations that may occur. I would appreciate receiving any feedback about this updated version of this script. I would like to ensure that it will work as intended.

I have also found that it no longer redirects to the older version of Gmail. I am currently looking into this and I expect to have an updated and working version of this script available shortly.

I was aware of the workaround in which one can choose "English (UK)" as the display language when one wants to use the the older version of Gmail. However, when that is selected as the default language, the user is unable to easily switch to using the newer version. This script makes it so that the link to the newer version is still there for those who want it. This may be considered useful by those who want to easily switch back and forth from the older version to the newer one.

One reason one might want to be able to easily switch from one version to another is that there are Greasemonkey scripts that work with one version of Gmail, but not the other. Also, one may want to occasionally use the features that only the newer version of Gmail provides.

I have said before that this script may not be considered very useful. However, there are still reasons to use it.

Thanks. I had those who wanted to use the scripts that worked with the older version in mind when I wrote this. But you probably found that out after reading the blog entry that I wrote about this script.
