Save a bookmark to one of the above. I would suggest the 2nd one -- https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/ -- as this is completely generic. (It opens 'the 0th mailbox' of whatever Google accounts are currently logged in via cookies, or whatever mechanism it uses. For many users, this is the only account. If you're typically logged into multiple Google users at once, you could potentially also want https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/, etc. bookmarks.) The subsequent one with 'ui=html&zy=g' is probably also good. 'ui=html' is pretty obvious, probably means 'use the older HTML interface rather than some sort of whizbang JavaScript And Dancing Ponies interface'. Not sure what 'zy=g' is, but if you start at /u/0 and end up redirected to that, you might as well pre-encode that redirection in your saved bookmark... The one with mouse's [redacted] Google user ID might also be good, obviously with *your* Google ID; but it only saves you one more redirection; and I have some vague misgivings about encoding that in a bookmark. >Bela< _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
