    Win7 and IE9 ...

    When logging into gmail, it will loop between google.com/mail and mail.google.com ...

    It was doing this on IE8 and I have tried the following with no luck:
    1. Disable Add Ons
    2. Uninstall Google Toolbar
    3. Uninstall IE
    4. Go to IE9
    5. Boot no add-on mode (this works)
    6. Add / remove / play around with mail.google.com and google.com/mail with trusted sites
    7. Browser security settings to low ...

    Still no luck other than using the safe mode "no add on"

    Any suggestions?

    Lol, weird... never heard of this. I know that's probably not the solution you're looking for, but what about using a different browser? Chrome is a great option, but there's also firefox, Opera etc. ....

    Email client wouldn't really be a good solution for this. Reinstalling flash player worked.
