744110 2009-02-02 02:15:00 Can't sign into Gmail, or use Google Talk though Pidgin - but it works fine on my other computers.

Gmail will load only under basic HTML view.

If I try to sign in normally or in secure mode I get an error:


This is taking longer than usual. Try reloading the page.

If that doesn't work, you can:
Try using https.
If you're on a slow connection, try basic HTML view.
For more troubleshooting tips, visit the help centre.

Pidgin says:


Could not establish a connection with the server:
Connection timed out.

Checked help, they suggested I clear out cookies, so I cleaned everything with CCleaner but that didn't help.

If you keep getting a fresh login block dont try to sign in again , refresh your page instead. I only found out that I had been logged in after all, when I googled and noticed my name was at the top of of the page!

Pidgin can't sign in to Google talk either - both Pidgin and IE7 have a timeout error.

It's not that I can't login, I can access iGoogle fine and my name is in the top right like you say but Gmail won't get past the loading screen. Refresh doesn't help.

744113 2009-02-28 06:45:00 Now the PC that Gmail used to work on Pidgin on, has stopped working!

Can't sign into Gmail on Pidgin on either of them now ... :(

744114 2009-02-28 06:48:00 I fixed it:


Set 'talk.google.com' as the Connect Server for your account in Pidgin
