If you are using Firefox and have GMail account, GMail Notifier is a very handdy extension you must have.

Get it from here : GMail Notifier 0.3.1 by Doron

::::: Feature :::::

* Context menu for access to:

- Toggle Statusbar item

- Check Now

- Logout

- Preferences

* Automatic login preference

* Once logged in, a preference to determine what happens if the icon is clicked on: either open in current tab, new window or new tab.

* On windows, when new mail arrives, a systen notification is shown (like mailnews/tbird does for new mail, or the ff download manager). Can be disabled in the preferences panel.

This is pretty cool. But since I got gmail and have all of my accounts forwarded there, I've been leaving the first tab of firefox open to gmail. Gmail automatically refreshes itself and if you have a new email in your inbox, the title of the page changes to "Gmail - Inbox (1)"

So essentially, gmail can notify you if you have a new email, this button just hides the tab. It is cool, though.

Not sure what my point is...

really appriciate this :D

edit: does anyone know how to change the icon? the big 'M' doesnt match the theme im using :(

I also was trying to change the icon, but it seem there is no easy way to do that. The only way to change icon is to unpack the extension, replace the original icon with your own then repack and install.

I believe the upcoming version will move the icon to the status bar, so you don't have to waste any space on the toolbar.

For some reason, its not working, I installed it, reloaded firefox, but nothing changed. Any help? On a sidenote, how did you make your gui look so much better, specificaly the buttons?

right click the toolbar and choose customize. Place the big 'M' icon anywhere on the toolbar. Then click the icon and it should ask u for ur gmail account

I found a good way of using Gmail in MSN Messenger, go to http://www.msnfanatic.com/tabserv and register and create a tab called "Gmail" and all you have to do is put the URL of gmail in. Once this is done you get to have a tab on your MSN called Gmail and you just need to click on in log in and BANG you got gmail in your messenger (yeah I know a bit crude but it works :D)

If you read the comment in the download page, I believe you will need to login with the Firefox browser first(incase you never login to GMail since you install Firefox or you just clear cookies).

still cant login!

(is it due to the *.hta file , should i delete it?)
