the current version of kcheckgmail is 0.5.3a and the current unmaked one in portage is 0.5.1. I've been using 0.5.3a without issue for months, and I couldn't find any outstanding bugs in the bugzilla holding it back. Also, if i recall correctly 0.5.1 isn't even functional with the current gmail protocol (so it doesn't even work :() Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Current version is 0.5.4 and it is the only one that works.
0.5.4 is now stable.
