Of all the apps that should open easily I expected would be Google Mail (Gmail) - yet when I try, all I get is an empty page (no content) - anyone else had this experience and if so, has anyone a solution please?

Add AnswerNo problems for me but i'd have to say i'm not overly impressed with the spped / performance of the chrome application when rendering webpages!
Perhaps google released this a little prematurely

I am also having problems opening up gmail in chrome.
I'm using my work computer and there maybe network settings that are causing the problems. Firefox and IE can both open Gmail.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 03, 2008
Same issue here, work computer, both IE and firefox work. Chrome sits with a blank page after logging into gmail.
I also didn't have any problems. I was able to log into my google app domain as well as my gmail account.

Cant use gmai either. I am behind a proxy server. Works fine with other browsers.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 04, 2008
Starting to see trend here. Gmail and Calander won't open with Chrome behind my works firewall. FF & IE both ok.

Same problem... how to solve it!?
By an anonymous user on Sep. 05, 2008
am also facing the same kind of issue at the first stage gmail was not even giving the login page and after a long attempt it log in to basic html with improper style sheet loading. I am also behind a proxy.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 05, 2008
Unfortunately... same story here. I can't access my gmail account via Chrome... but can with FF and IE. I am also behind a proxy.

By an anonymous user on Sep. 07, 2008
I am having the same problem. Once I enter my password Chrome seems seems to to redirect over and over and them gives me the following error:
This webpage is not available.

same probelm here
By an anonymous user on Sep. 08, 2008
Same problem. It was working ok for few days, but after i logged out from gmail couldnt get the page to open again. Also cant open igoogle or any other google web aplication. Cleared the cash and reinstalled Chrome - same thing.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 08, 2008
I am also facing this problem that blank page opens when i try to open gmail.
I thought that , since its a google browser, chrome may open the gmail in different and better style but it just don't open. There is no solution posted yet for this problem.
Somebody has the solution??
By an anonymous user on Sep. 08, 2008
The same problem to me im using my work lap top too
By an anonymous user on Sep. 09, 2008
i got the same problem too...gmail opens with blank page. FF and IE works. Am behind a proxy. Seems like chrome has some issues with proxy
By an anonymous user on Sep. 09, 2008
I have the same problem, i am behind the corporate firewall. FF&IE work very well. I think the problem is related to the HTTPS, no secure site can be opened behind the firewall. I can't find any specific configuration in GC for this.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 09, 2008
Ok i did it,
my gmail didnt want to open because i didnt provide the proxy user and pass requested, and it never prompted for them again, so i had to disable the proxy server settings and enter gmail, and then enable it again... and now it works
By an anonymous user on Sep. 09, 2008
Gmail kept redirecting with me too. Clearing the browsing data seemed to do the trick

I had problems with gmail and orkut. Wonder why google applications not work in google browser!
By an anonymous user on Sep. 10, 2008
Behind a proxy also, have to sign in proxy authentication every time launching Google Chrome.
Yes also can't open gmail
Can Google simplify the browsing process for user behind proxy? IE and Firefox don't need to login, and Gmail works fine with them.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 11, 2008
same problem here
By an anonymous user on Sep. 11, 2008
disable the proxy and enter!
By an anonymous user on Sep. 11, 2008
How about just sticking to Firefox! Not such a bad idea, eh?
I'm tired of google trying to take over the world...They're good (actually, GREAT) at search. At everything else, they're average at best. So, stop creaming your shorts each time Google puts something out!!
Basically, Google is making you the QA Monkey - for free, nonetheless and you're still responding with "We're Not Worthy" - Give me a F@#!in Break...
By an anonymous user on Sep. 12, 2008
I too can't open gmail using chrome. Does the google chrome use the IE credentials for connecting to internet, as when I try to change the proxy the IE property box open up. If that is the case, as some one said above this is a premature release from google.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 13, 2008
I can't login to any of my administrator sections on various website I own hosted on 1&1. I get "This webpage is not available" error.
It works fine on IE7 and Firefox.
I hope Google fixes this flaw soon. I realize it's still in beta, but you would think this wouldn't be an issue. It's so basic.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 15, 2008
people, try this: options/advanced/change proxy config./lan settings/ and UNcheck the proxy server.
Then try accessing gmail again, and when you do, re-activate the proxy settings... and from then on, it will enter every time
same probelm here,i think it is pre. version ,it will solution on next version
By an anonymous user on Sep. 16, 2008
I'm afraid I tried that thing about deactivating and activating proxy without success. It just doesn't work, I'm afraid
By an anonymous user on Sep. 17, 2008

No, I have used gmail on chrome and no problem what so ever.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 24, 2008

By an anonymous user on Sep. 24, 2008

enter the proxy username/pass,
another windows shows telling invalid certificate, press continue,

still google have to review these basic issue
By an anonymous user on Sep. 25, 2008
Chrome can't recognize it's sibling's digital certificate.
It is working good with me.
When you open chrome it will show the history in the form of icon.
By an anonymous user on Sep. 30, 2008
Same problem :(
By an anonymous user on Oct. 01, 2008
" enter options/advanced/change proxy config./lan settings/ UNcheck ALL boxes"
I did this, then Tools-Clear Browsing Data and reloaded and it worked. I'm on my wireless laptop at home, connecting to my home connection.
By an anonymous user on Oct. 09, 2008
I cleared the browsing data and it started working again. Might as well try it. It's easy.
By an anonymous user on Oct. 10, 2008
I was able to use my gmail account fine until I cleared all my browsing data. Now I cant seem to access gmail or my igoogle account
By an anonymous user on Oct. 10, 2008
rofl... that was a good one :D
But seriously, how can I get gmail working@chrome? Thats the only thing that makes me stick to IE at work... which actually sucks!
By an anonymous user on Oct. 10, 2008
When you search Google for gmail the first link is
[mail.google.com/ - 18k - Cached - Similar pages]
Cached means that information about the page is already stored in your computer. If that info is not there that link wont work.
Try looking for another link to gmail a little down that is not cached.
By an anonymous user on Oct. 10, 2008
I face the same problem. It happened only recently tht i cant open gmail or orkut using chrome.
By an anonymous user on Oct. 13, 2008
put https instead of http and it'll work fine
I fell it will take few more releases to get a better product from google
By an anonymous user on Oct. 15, 2008

I am using chrome , I don't have any issue in opening gmail... ,google or any site.
It is good.
No, I have used gmail on chrome and no problem what so ever.
I used gmail on IE and it is stable.
吹吧
gmail could used in any browser
By an anonymous user on Oct. 18, 2008
gmail totally does not work for me, same
as above: blank screen with perpetual
"redirecting" message.
However, I am *not* behind a proxy server,
(other than perhaps an invisible caching
proxy server that my ISP might be running),
so that can not be the only cause.
I am also having problems opening up gmail in chrome.
I'm using my work computer and there maybe network settings that are causing the problems. Firefox and IE can both open Gmail
By an anonymous user on Oct. 19, 2008
Yep Same issue here,
Have ticked and unticked every combo to do with proxy and it doesn't work still.. have cleared browser data... doesn't work, have put https before the web address... doesn't work... hrmmmm
By an anonymous user on Oct. 29, 2008
untick all proxy boxes in ie lan settings, then open chrome and go to gmail
then while its open, enable the proxy settings again
worked for me
By an anonymous user on Nov. 21, 2008
I'm having a similar problem opening Gmail in Chrome, but I wanted to say that I really like the direction that Google is taking with Chrome.
In my opinion, Chrome is very performant, and I really like the "Web Application" direction that Google is taking. I also like the way that Google has broken each web-tab into a separate process, and how they can be killed independently.
Keep up the good work--I'm looking forward to your patches!
