Safari 3: problems with Gmail

Safari 3 has problems with the Gmail site: When I load the Gmail page
with my e-mails it shows the number of unread e-mails in the title
(e.g. Gmail - Inbox (4)), but that title message doesn't change after
I've read all the e-mails. It's the same with Gmail chat: If my friend
John says something then the page title becomes "John says ...", but
that doesn't change later when *I* say something or when I close the
conversation.

Firefox doesn't have all these problems with Gmail titles. Is there a
workaround for Safari?

Thanks!
Markus

P.S.: I am using Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.15) on Mac OS 10.5.2.

I've given up on Safari for Gmail. Firefox as you've noted works. So does
Camino.

You're not alone.  I've noted that after a while, Safari 3.0.4 will just
stop responding to the javascript on the GMAIL page.  The only solution
I've found is to quit Safari and start it again.  

I also use Yahoo's email a lot for sending out anti-spam LART emails.  
That page's Compose and Check Mail buttons stop working after a while.  
Mostly, I think the multiple "y5beta=yes" strings in the URL are the
problem.  I clear them out, redisplay the page, and the it works again.

You might also try using the HTML interface instead.  For a while, Gmail
just didn't work right with Safari (V2 or V3).  It's gotten better, but
I think there's bugs in the Javascript implementation.

Why not set up your mail client to access gmail via imap and not bother
with a web browser? I do that and it works fine.
