Address unavailable: http://gs.harryonline.net/gm2en.json ?

Users of the Gmail to Evernote script may have received a “Summary of failures” message today reporting the following error:
Address unavailable: http://gs.harryonline.net/gm2en.json (line 180, file "Code")
The server, from which this file is read, has been down for a number of hours yesterday, so you got these error messages.

Why is the script reading this file, it is only supposed to forward messages from  your Gmail account to Evernote? It has to do with version information, to be able to inform you about new versions.

New version of Gmail to Evernote script creates link to Gmail in Evernote

Version 2 of the Gmail to Evernote script has been released. The new version adds text on top of the message in Evernote, with the basic headers from the email message (From, To, Date) and a link back to view the message in Gmail. For example, if you forwarded the message to a task list in Evernote, you can now quickly send a response after completing the task. No more searching in Gmail to find the message back!

There are more changes, and you have to do some extra configuration steps if you use multiple sign-in for Google, because in that case, the link to the Gmail message is not always correct.

This version will send email notifications when a new version is available. If you are running the script directly from bit.ly/gmailevernote, you don’t need to update, and you will not receive a notification, unless some other action is required or relevant information can be given.

If you made your own copy of the script, you will always receive a notification of new versions, so you can replace your copy with the new version.

You may have to authorize and grant access again, see the previous update on Gmail to Evernote.

Send Google Mail to Evernote

Evernote is a great system to organize your notes, and to remember everything. You often want to add email message to Evernote, for example to add it to a To-do list. Evernote makes this possible by providing an email address, to which you can forward other messages–they will then be added to your other notes. But you still have to tag them, and you may want to put them in a different notebook. This can also be done by appending notebook and tags to the subject line, but this takes time and you can easily make a typing mistaken.

The method described here makes it much faster and easier: simply drag tags and notebook to the message, that’s it. It is shown in this video, and you can click through to read how to make it work for you. The video is short, less than 40 seconds, but it should not take more time to forward the message and see the result.
