No filters in use, on any account. Let me guess, yet another security hole that wouldn't be there if javascript wasn't used?

I have no idea - I don't use G-mail and not too many people bother to write crap like this for Thunderbird and Firefox.

But I wanted to help spread the word, in case anyone I know is affected.

Nothing to do with JavaScript. Everything to do with how mail is handled and delivered. This is why all of my mail accounts are POP-based, rather than web-based.

I did check my account. I keep that one pretty tightly locked. Not that anyone would want to hack me anyway...

It is good to know and I will pass it on. Unfortunately, it is not just GMail that this can happen to.

Thank you for this. At least it says this is a loophole that's now been closed. I will pass on this info.

I have a smart geek hubby; when I set up my Gmail account, he set it for no forwarding, POP and IMAP all disabled. That's really all you need to do. All the filters do is give different files for the emails, at least that's my impression.

It pays to have a professional security person look over your settings and accounts if you've a lot to lose in either email accounts or web-sites.
