Gmail – How to Force Mobile Mode

gmail

Sometimes I need to quickly get into Gmail on a not-so-great connection, send a message (or get one I know was just sent to me), and get out. The mobile browser interface is perfect for that.

Is there an URL I can use (in a shortcut) that will get me directly to the mobile interface no matter what my real user agent happens to be?

For that matter, I suppose that the simple HTML interface that I sometimes get offered when Gmail has spent many minutes trying to start up could also be useful. Is there a URL or other way to get to that directly?

Best Answer

The URL http://m.gmail.com/ will take you to the Gmail mobile interface.

The URL https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html will take you to the basic HTML interface.

This is a major kludge, but will do the trick. First install the bookmarklet from this answer.

javascript:window.location="https://gmail.com/#search/rfc822msgid:"+encodeURIComponent(window.document.body.innerHTML.match(/Message-ID: &lt;(.*)&gt;/)[1])+"/"+encodeURIComponent(window.location.search.toString().slice(1).split('&').filter(function(x){return x.slice(0,3) == "th="})[0].slice(3));

Then follow these instructions.

Click the menu button to the right of the message's "reply-to" button and select Show original.
After the message's raw source is shown on a new tab (it will resemble the below screenshot), click the bookmarklet.
A new tab will now open with the regualrly formatted message. You can now bookmark or copy the message's URL.
