Official GMail notifier tool
 

Just found this on Neowin
http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/
You may need to be patient for the link to work as the server is swamped at the moment but it's a nice little app that sits in your taskbar and pops up when you get a GMail :)

Nice - very nice :)

Seems to work well so far, you can check your account, open the inbox and even ask for a reminder as to how many new mails/ threads you have. Even the little icon looks nice :D

Superb, nice one Paul. :tu:

U da man! :D

LOL well since people here have Gmail accounts I just had to post the link.
I've noticed that the app uses about 7mb of ram to run but I suppose if it saves you opening a browser just to check the gmail account then you must be saving about 30mb of Ram overall.
I like the way it gives you the first line or so of your gmail so you know what it is about when you open it :) Nice little app to have installed :)

Way to go, I was just thinking of wanting something like that.

Oh no, it does not work from behind company firewall.

Re: Official GMail notifier tool
 

nor do they have a linux version :(

Re: Official GMail notifier tool
 

Thats a pain :( I know that there are extensions for Firefox that notify too but the official notifier must use specific ports. Wonder if they will iron out that problem at some point in the development ??

LOL, gotta love them Open Source people, they even beat Google themselves to the release :D

Re: Official GMail notifier tool
 

Its a food tool but im finding that after i get a mail it is not showing up that I have read it. So I am constantly getting a "1 new mail" messege even if I have deleted it.

Re: Official GMail notifier tool
 

It will show that until it next checks your inbox, have you tried right clicking the taskbar Icon and telling it to check the inbox manually? The only other thing that I can think of is that it may not have been given full permissions for any firewall you may have running.

Re: Official GMail notifier tool
 

I will try that next time it happens!

What a great idea - thanks for the link mate :)
