tony-inpo Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The gmail add on allows users to add Gmail - Google Mail - to the start menu. Right click on the start bar -> Properties -> Start Menu -> Customize -> select "Google Mail" in the email link box. Download The original concept for this program was by Matt Carter The Gmail icon was created by *weboso see - http://weboso.deviantart.com/art/Gmail-Icons-10297734 ========== System Requirements Windows?

Shof Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 so by clicking on this icon it just loads up say firefox and signs you into gmail? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/586938-gmail-add-on/#findComment-588840448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony-inpo Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yeah it loads up your default browser and opens gmail.com. If you've already signed in it will take you straight to your inbox Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/586938-gmail-add-on/#findComment-588840744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony-inpo Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yeah it's basically just intended to be a shortcut for getting to gmail, especially for those using IE with no Gmail extensions etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/586938-gmail-add-on/#findComment-588841236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorak Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I love the icon. Thanks for this, there are plenty of times I don't feel like typing "gmail.com" or "gmail" (since I use OpenDNS). This is the perfect lazyman's shortcut. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/586938-gmail-add-on/#findComment-588841272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shof Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Didnt Gmail has it own apps that adds an icon to the system tray and tells when you get a new message along with working in any browser?

tony-inpo Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Didnt Gmail has it own apps that adds an icon to the system tray and tells when you get a new message along with working in any browser? Yes, see http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-ma...-Notifier.shtml The reason I'm not using that any more is security: if I'm not at my computer anyone can get into my inbox by using that app. If you're the sole user though that application is very handy.

tony-inpo Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Another update: Another update to the Gmail Add on: it now supports users who use googles "Google Apps". Either at the end of install or after, the user can specify what domain they would like to use, i.e. when someone clicks on the Google Mail icon on the start menu, which url it takes them too. Simply go: Start -> All Programs -> Gmail Add on -> Domain Name Changer then enter your chosen domain in the box and click "Change" Download here Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/586938-gmail-add-on/#findComment-588986853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
