It would be quite frustrating to have gone through all of the trouble of programming and setting up a server and, at the same time, making the client setup process more convoluted, to have Google then release an API. But who knows if they'll even ever release one.
And, just for clarification, GVMax doesn't poll -- the server responds when it receives an email that was pushed by GV and then forwarded via a filter to the server.
Mine is still not working. 1.0.8.7 no update seen in the app manager. kind of a big deal.
Please remember that it is helpful to know what device or version of Maemo you have. Maybe include it in your signature so people can at least guess based on that? In this case it would also have been helpful to know what repos you have enabled.
I'm assuming you have Maemo 4.1 with extras enabled because I realize that when I promoted all of my software from Maemo 5 extras-devel to extras-testing, I forgot to promote the Maemo 4.1 version from extras-devel to extras. It is now done and should appear soonish. Thanks for helping me catch that so people can get the improved version sooner.
As a side note, as part of my The One Ring work, I've got faster downloading of all of the contact information. I have not yet merged this into my Dialcentral code though.
As for general The One Ring status: My semi-automated test is now able to login, get and set presence (avaialble, away, etc), make calls, send texts, and get contacts including their name. I have most of the work done for checking GV for new texts/voicemails to notify you of.
As long as nothing catastrophic comes up with other software or real life, I plan to finish testing notification of new messages this weekend. My next step will be either this weekend or next to test within Empathy and then on Maemo 5. It would probably be another week or two for Maemo 4.1 support if I end up doing it. There might be some decent amount of work involved with this because telepathy is still rapidly changing and the docs keep listing "For this version, support this, for that version, support that".

Man I hope you can find a way for supporting 4.1. Thanks for the update.
