Checks for new messages properly & looks dandy but the click-to-redirect opens a new tab in Safari which then goes into a never-ending loop and never manages to either present a login page or my Inbox. It flips between
https://www.google.com/accounts/....
https://mail.google.com/mail/....
It will apparently do this forever. Oddly enough if I stop this infinite loop & then reload the tab it works properly. It may in fact be a Safari problem [this is using Version 2.0 (412.2)].
