nice....the old gmail app is awful in my opinion.

Unfortunately the Gmail update broke the ability for launcher pro and go launcher to show unread email count in the dock.

From the launcher pro page:

I just received some pretty sad news. The API that LauncherPro uses to access your Gmail messages (used on the Gmail widget and the Gmail dock notifications) is being removed in the next version of the Gmail app for Android 2.2 and higher. Apparently the API does not meet modern security standards. What this means for LauncherPro users is once you update to this new version, your LauncherPro Plus Gmail widget, and LauncherPro Gmail dock notifications will stop working, and even potentially crash the launcher if you try to use them (I don’t have access to this upcoming version yet, so I cannot fully test it). I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope that the Android team will come out with a revised API soon enough, so that we can re-gain our Gmail integration in LauncherPro.

Pool_Shark,
Would that issue be a problem with Launcher Pro if one never used the gmail widget or disabled the unread count for the dock? I don't think you ever did use those widget on my Droid Eris with LPP. I would like to update the gmail app on it so I see the same functionality across both of my devices.

It appears that it is only a problem if you use the widget or want to display the unread count. I don't use the widget, but I still have the box checked to display the unread gmail count and LPP has not crashed.
