This is a really odd issue. GMail Icon can only check the account with the
information you enter in the options dialog. There is no way for the gadget to 
know
your boyfriends credentials. When you double click on the gadget it will just 
open
the browser and point to the gmail website. So if the other account is logged 
in in
the browser it will show the inbox of the logged in user. So the only way this 
could
make sense if is you mixed something up in the credentials or the report.

I have a business gmail account that I check with Internet Explorer only, but 
my main
personal account is run under Firefox. When installing the gmail desktop 
plugin, I
configure it as you said from your instructions page. But even with everything 
filled
in as instructed the icon is checking the mail in my business account on IE, 
not my
personal one as configured in Firefox.
Cheers,

The source of the issue lies in Google Desktops XMLHttpRequest object and the 
way it
handles cookies. This will be fixed in the next Google Desktop release. Then the
gadget will work as expected.

I am having the same problem.  I am always logged in for the google desktop.  
My 
husband and I both have gmail accounts.  If we have two of your gmail gadgets 
in our 
desktop, with our different username and pw's in the options box, they both 
only see 
my gmail account.  Will this new release correct this so we can access both 
accounts?

I have a gmail account AND a google app email account. Although I enter the 
account 
name with the the google apps domain name in the gadget username field, the 
gadget 
links to my gmail account - *not* to the google app account.

I am having the same problem.  Seems to be connected to the google toolbar on 
IE7. 
Whichever google account the toolbar is logged into, that is the account Gmail 
Icon
checks.
