Hi Park,

#applying a label to a message
g.apply_label(msgid,'label_name')

^^^^^^
<snip>

I got an error at this line:

------------------------------
C:\atest>ruby tst_gmailer7.rb
my password
Total # of conversations of my_label =3D 0
Name: shanko_date Email: (e-mail address removed)
Name: shashank Email: (e-mail address removed)
Display language:en, Max Page Size:50
tst_gmailer7.rb:48: undefined local variable or method `msgid' for main:O=
bject (NameError)
from tst_gmailer7.rb:5:in `connect'
from tst_gmailer7.rb:5
-------------------------------

And all I had to do was add this before that line:

msgid =3D nil

It worked like a charm ... even after connecting with the proxy server.

Thanks for this great release.

Great work!

Another idea for a change of method names: use "connected?" instead of
"is_connected".


Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
