I put out an update to GMailPush that handles any errors it receives. Previously, it would see an error and stop checking for mail. Now an option exists to tell it whether or not it should stop checking for mail. It will also log the error and a stack trace.

If you’re receiving a lot of errors, feel free to send them to me on the GMailPush code page. Every once in a while I’d run into a null reference error when sending pop commands, so I did some more null checking in the function. I think it was occurring because of network interruption, but we’ll see if any of you experience the same thing.

I sent a tip to the writers at TechCrunch to inform them of GMailPush. I figured their readers might get some use out of it. It wasn’t particularly well-received, but hopefully someone is now using it.

Here is a link to the article: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/13/a-workaround-for-the-gmail-push-workaround/.
