Interesting. I have always had a Gmail gadget on my desktop to count unread emails and let me know w/o opening the Gmail website that I had emails. About 10 days ago it just stopped working returning a " Error:401" I tried downloading several other Gmail counter gadgets all with the same results. Now I know why.... the end of an era.
