Symptoms

It can be painfull to login to your gmail account, because google uses some kind of technolgy that can’t be handled by OWB.

The login page loops without asking for the password. You are stuck on the login window.

Solution

You must spoof as Internet Explorer 10, so google login window gets down to an old login code that OWB can handle :

go to Settings / Spoof as / Internet Explorer

Reload the login page :

then enter your password.

You get on this page, telling you that you are using an unsupported web browser (we don’t care), and that you will use the simplified html version :

So you get on your mailbox. Tadaaa !
