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 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.

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.

      When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
