Gmail Notifier Plus stopped working for one of my gmail accounts two days ago... Then today it stopped working for my second account.

 

It just gives me a "Please check your account settings" error, even though all the account setting are correct.

 

Has there been a recent change to gmail that has broken the log in functionality?

 

Both of these are google apps accounts (ie. they have custom domain names instead of just @gmail.com) so maybe that has something to do with it?

 

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

Thanks!

I never used that app ...

 

GMail notifies me via notification center on my android phone then I can check email on either smartphone or desktop.

Yes. Me, too... But I also have this app which conveniently monitors my gmail accounts and gives me a handy pop-up of what was just sent to me while I'm working on the computer. No need to have my phone nearby or open a browser.

 

Was working fantastically until two days ago... Hoping someone here knows what changed and how to fix it.

I am having the exact same problem. @andrew_, can you please assist? Thanks. Much appreciated.

I just found the 3.7 alpha version and it is working well again.

Thanks goes to jansokoly and andrew_(shellscape).

I'm not that much of an expert with Github. Is there a fast way to compile it to a usable program?

Unfortunately, version 3.6 isn't working for me. Stil get the "Please check your account settings". I tried installing the 3.7 .msi alpha from Github, but halfway through the install, it asks for the 3.5 version .msi, which I don't have.

 

Please let me know where I can go to get the necessary bits.

 

Cheers

Not sure why it's asking for 3.5 msi... Don't think I have that myself -- but I just downloaded the 3.7 msi from here:

 

https://github.com/jansokoly/Gmail-Notifier-Plus/releases

 

And it installed fine on my Windows 7 64bit system. Working perfectly again for me.

Strange. I tried version 3.7 msi again, and it asked for version 3.5 msi. I tried to uninstall version 3.6, and it asked for version 3.5 msi. So I did a web search to find version 3.5 msi, found it and downloaded it. Then uninstalled version 3.6 and it uninstalled fine. Ran version 3.7 msi again and it installed properly.

 

And version 3.7 does work perfectly.

 

Cheers,

It seems that the way Gmail Notifier Plus works is the following notifications possible

1. Toast transient pop-up.
2. Sound with 1

3. System tray count

4. Taskbar count 

5. Flash the Taskbar a couple of times and leave it backlit for a minute or so.

 

If you are away, the only difference when you come back will be the counts, yet that can be missed.

 

Why not have the option that the pop-up stays until you make a keyboard or mouse action?

===================

 

Also, in my testing, I've noticed that a non-default account does not always trigger an action on a new email.

In fact, the count in the tray for some reason ended up one more than in the Taskbar.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
