Neowin member daty2k1 has released a Windows 7 Gmail application.

The notifier is similar to the current official Google notifier application that sits in the system tray and notifies users of new messages in their Gmail inbox.

This version of the notifier is tuned for Windows 7 only and runs as a task bar application:



When the application detects a new mail it shows the following notifications:



You can right click on the app and get Windows 7 jump lists for new emails, associated tasks and program settings:



If you change your Gmail password or you have no internet connection the application will notify you:



Daty2k1 has released this exclusively at Neowin and will address any bugs you have. Feel free to report bugs in this thread.

is it working on x64 version of windows 7?
#7.1 k7of9 on 01 Jun 2009 - 12:26
Yup running fine here on 64
#7.2 +lcg on 01 Jun 2009 - 12:27
Yes!

Fantastic application, btw!

Another one using it on 64 bit Win 7. A little buggy sometimes, but works great for a 1.0 application. Has the potential to leave the offical Gmail notifier in the dust.

What a beautifully crafted application!!
Thank you for creating it.
#9 k7of9 on 01 Jun 2009 - 12:17
Cool!
Looking forward to see lots of applications coming that take advantage of the new taskbar like this little wonder


It's a smart and good looking app, works like a charm, very very nice
I would love to see something like this for other pop accounts too so I don't need to have my client open all the time. Thanks for sharing!

impressive, great work )
just a question is the little notification number is possible to implement on the little version of the taskbar icone ? :p
or a different color in order to notify there is a new mail.

#14 TOOLaudiofan on 01 Jun 2009 - 13:51
This is the most handy app for Windows 7 I've seen so far. It really shows Daty2k1 put a lot of thought into it. This is a must have application for users of Gmail and W7.
#15 shan on 01 Jun 2009 - 13:58
really cool.....
#16 ]SK[ on 01 Jun 2009 - 15:06
One thing to download when Win7 hits my PC
#17 lothodon on 01 Jun 2009 - 17:19
by the time windows 7 is released, google will own this app.

This is very nice, Good work!

I've one question that might be a little buzz killer for some - What happens with the login details? Just to calm my usually not suspicious side.
#18.1 BeatBlaster on 01 Jun 2009 - 21:24
Yep - you took the fun right out of this for me. Too bad I didn't read this post until after I tried the app! I wasn't even thinking about that. Maybe we'll get an answer soon?
#19 Chugworth on 01 Jun 2009 - 20:47
It looks like an awesome application. But I'm a bit paranoid about entering my Google account information in to it.

Looks like Lifehacker got a hold of you!

"Change settings" don't work for me.
#22 DeMo_BR on 01 Jun 2009 - 23:02
Awesome, great work daty2k1!!
#23 +Ely on 02 Jun 2009 - 01:26
It looks nice, thank you for creating it, I'm going to try it now, will report if I find any problems.

Could you please add a feature that would remove the notifier from the alt-tab window? That would be great.
#24.1 Tom W on 04 Jun 2009 - 07:45
This has been added in the recent update
#25 Saidas on 04 Nov 2009 - 16:04
I just installed W7U 32bt and GN+ and though everything is there, it isn't working; nothing shows in Inbox when there is mail in it and Check For New Mail doesn't produce anything. Any ideas as to what is going on? I'd really like to have this feature. Thanks!
