I confirm that this exact same error affects me and several other users that I am aware of. The error started to appear on Friday Jan 18th and affects multiple distributions - I personally run three different distributions and all three are affected.

Confirmed!
It looks like a further Google work. They already stopped UMPlayer from showing YouTube videos. The reason resides in advertising: if you don't use your browser they can't fill the own stuff with advertisements, increasingly nasty and aggressive. Originally Google was using advertisement to finance free software. Now they have reversed the own strategy: the new finality is making so much money as possible using free software. In other words they are in the reality a profit company masked as freeware company. Finally, now Google belongs to that kind of industry attempting to convert the earth in a paper ball.

Started getting this error on 18th January, 2012 in Linux Mint Debian Edition. Have since updated using the svg checkout and noe the error has changed from "Error: 200 OK" to "Error: 401 Unauthorised". Running with the no cookies option provides a temporary fix.

Same problem here since the same date. As indicated, the -no_cookies option will fix it temporarily but you can't perform actions (Delete message, Mark as read...) from your desktop anymore.

thanks birchy!
happy to understand that google didn't lose the own mind! by further checking umplayer is unmaintained and smtube replaces the same feature (it works!)
well, as little addition a little howto for beginners:
- install checkgmail from your distro, so you get also the necessary dependencies.
- run as superuser in a terminal:
checkgmail --update
confirm with Y
by typing
checkgmail --help
you should get as version:
CheckGmail v1.14pre2-svn

+1 Same issue here. Error 200 and exiting the application from the tray icon leaves the tray icon where it is and doesn't allow any further actions.

Google have changed to URL from https://www.google.com/accounts/ to https://accounts.google.com/. To fix this, open a terminal and run...
01. svn co https://checkgmail.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/checkgmail checkgmail
02. cd checkgmail
03. gedit checkgmail
04. press ctrl-H to get the "replace" function
05. in the "Search for:" box enter: [b]https://www.google.com/accounts/[/b]
06. in the "Replace with:" box enter: [b]https://accounts.google.com/[/b]
07. click "replace all", then "close"
08. save file and close gedit

NOTE: Ignore the formatting [b] and [/b] in my last comment! Those lines SHOULD read:
05. in the "Search for:" box enter: https://www.google.com/accounts/
06. in the "Replace with:" box enter: https://accounts.google.com/
@Birchy: Thank you! Works like a charm!

thank you birchy!
worked for me too.
Thanks a lot.
Just a "me too" message.
To do the search/replace in a one-liner in a terminal: run
sed -i 's#https://www.google.com/accounts#https://accounts.google.com#' /path/to/checkgmail
(run the command in a single line, even though it might have gotten broken in the site formatting of the comment below)
thanks birchy!
