I moved to Google mail last year and it is the best email service I have ever used. It was at the same time Yahoo rolled out its new features which takes absolutely ages to come to life something that has annoyed me so much as I do log onto my old yahoo account every now and again…if you are running a moderate speed internet then be prepared to get frustrated as you will have to put up with a lot of crap…

Anyways…recently I tried to access gmail and discovered a useful feature…a service offered by gmail which simply gives user a choice to load a basic HTML mail interface as opposed to the normal one. This feature gets invoked if you are using a slow internet connection…good thinking I am sure there are people out there who do not use ultra fast internet…

Pure coincidence is I read this article in the morning….

Last nite I changed the urls from “this_is_my_new” to read “this-is-my-new” apparently latter is a better way for search engine optimization…it was a bit of a pain though…but I managed it somehow…

I spent last whole week trying to figure out what was wrong with the e-mail code I wrote in Ruby on Rails because I followed he book closely and was expecting to run it without any issues…but anyways… here are few things you must know before you embark on this task:

1. Ask your host how the server has been configured…after several days and exchange of several emails I discovered that mine has been set up as “POP before SMTP” due to which I was getting a bizarre error.
2. If it is SMTP then I guess it is straight forward (as in the book or tutorials on the web or whatever reference you are following) but if it is “POP before SMTP” then go here. As you will see the link will take you to another page which has two separate code snippets …the first one need to go in the environment.rb and the second one need to go in the ActionMailer’s base.rb class.

Since you will be amending the rails code base I will suggest to perform a freeze and then do it on the rails code local to the project. You can find the base.rb class at the following location:

rails_project_directory/vendor/rails/actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/base.rb

I hope it will resolve the issues for you.
