There doesnt seem to be a reliable support channel for libgmail so i
figured this group might have some people who could help.

I have the latest version(from cvs) of libgmail.py, lgconstants.py
and mkconstants.py with python version 2.3.3. gmailfs
fails with a login error. I also tried a test login script and
it fails on logon also. I double-checked my
username/passwords as well trying to actually login
from the web and with two different accounts. They
both work but both fail with libgmail login attempts. I am not behind
any type of proxy or strange http firewall that I know of(wget works
fine w/o tweaking).
Here is the error from gmailfs.  The last couple lines are identical if
I try the test login script:
---
[root at xxxx root]# mount -t
gmailfs /usr/local/bin/gmailfs.py /gmailtest -o
username=xxxx at gmail.com,password=xxxx,fsname=tE
sT1nG
[root at xxxx root]#
gmailfs.py:Gmailfs:mountpoint: '/gmailtest'
gmailfs.py:Gmailfs:unnamed mount options: ['rw']
gmailfs.py:Gmailfs:named mount options:
{'username': 'xxxx at gmail.com', 'password': 'xxxx', 'fsna
me': 'tEsT1nG'}
Traceback (most recent call last):
