I just downloaded v1.2 and to test it I just marked 100 emails as unread and put them in my inbox. Sure, it detects 100 emails, but it still shows 50 in the badge on the icon. I can browse the emails in the thumbnail preview, but at number 20 the .NET Framework crashes. I will give you the crash report, but it's in Dutch:

I can browse the emails in the thumbnail preview, but at number 20 the .NET Framework crashes. I will give you the crash report, but it's in Dutch:

I receive the same crash at number 20. Didnt know until i decided to check after reading your message. If it matters i can provide the crash report in english.

you're not the only one and what's causing this is unknown yet... you will have to wait for a solution..

good to know im not the only one. its not so bothersome to me at the time so no big deal

About multiple accounts support, I think I almost got it. But what to do with unread mail counter if you have grouping enabled?

I'd like to have multiple counters with different colors, if possible :D

About mailboxes with 100 or more unread messages, I suggest to use something like "99+" as counter :)

damn, it stopped showing.... :crazy:

maybe the next version will work properly for me. *edit* nope :crazy:

my suggestion for the multiple accounts unread you could have multiple badges and the badges in different colours (I'm Canadian so that spelling is correct).

here is my mock up/example

33m6c6e-1.jpg

and media fire is a good hosting site. it doesn't require users to sign up to download

i would also like to see sound notification or even a pop up notification implemented, because I'm not always looking at my taskbar

Cool idea but then people will show up and say it sucks when you have 10 accounts at the same time :D I think I'll just display the total of unread messages for all accounts.

Really nice! When will there be a sound warning? (I always open mail by warning sound, not by looking at the taskbar)

By the way, when I click the inbox, it opens in 2 tabs in Firefox. Any idea why it opens dually?

Edit: Just a little idea: when there is mail, maybe you can make the M blue, like in the old notifier. This was always

very effective for me and can be seen from a distance.

Something like this:

gmail_notifier.png

The sound warning will definitely be in the next version. About the blue icon, I've thought about that too but when you have the application pinned, changing the icon has not effect :(

Can you please make those badges bigger? It's too small!

I'll probably add an option for that too in the next version.

You made those overlay badges manually? Ewwww

Programmers don't do that...

Just dynamically draw text to blank icon. It's actually not that hard, I've done it. Making that into an icon afterwards is a bit harder but Microsoft has a sample like that in their free ebook.

I know it sucks but I've never been able to find a good example for doing that. And since I wrote this app for myself at first, I said "screw it, it's working fine like that" :D If you can give me a good example, I'll gladly change it.

I receive the same crash at number 20. Didnt know until i decided to check after reading your message. If it matters i can provide the crash report in english.

good to know im not the only one. its not so bothersome to me at the time so no big deal

Thanks, I'll look into it :)

Love this app! Can I request support for Small Icon mode in the Win7 taskbar. You can set this by right clicking the Start orb, choosing Properties, selecting the Taskbar tab and checking "Use small icons".

Thanks!

I've been trying to add it in the last version by changing the application icon since the overlay icons are not supported in small icon mode. Then I discovered that doing that has no effect when you have the icon pinned so I have no solution at the moment.

It is using a simple HTTP request so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Are using a regular account or a Google Apps account?

it's a regular Gmail account.

i still need to authenticate to HTTP over the proxy because i've not added my computer to the domain. When i use applications that access the internet e.g. windows update, a box pops up asking for cresidentials but doesn't with this app.

i'm assuming proxy settings with username/password would fix this (where needed)

Just found this @ thehotfix.net

You shoudl contact them because the user didnt give you any credits for it.

I hope you left a "author" page in the program becuase no one knows YOU made it on that site.

Yeah, good thing I put my name in there :)

I figured out why this is happening and it kinda sucks: the Gmail RSS feed only show the first 20 messages. Looks like I'll have to move to something else like IMAP :(

would love to see an option to stick it in the system tray.

erm, doesn't that just give you back the standard gmail notifier functionality? The whole purpose of this one is that it's moved from the system tray to the new superbar wotsit (with jumplists)

yes. but more options the better =)

Great app! Definitely the coolest solution for Gmail and Windows 7 so far.

I'm having a problem however. Whenever I have unread mail, when I right click the icon (pinned to taskbar), I no longer see the jumplist. Even after i mark the message read, I have to restart the app before i see the jumplist again. I have the problem in 1.1 and 1.2.

Any ideas? Thanks!

All of those jumplist problems are mostly from Microsofts buggy 7destkop interop dlls. They didn't test them very well.

Also, yes using the actual emails instead of RSS would be good as it would also allow a mark as read feature.

Also, pinning an email does nothing since you repopulate the list each right click. Why not disable the pin button in the jumplist object?

Yeah I guess this is the problem. I think they will release the final version of the dlls around the time Windows 7 goes RTM. Hopefully it will be fixed by then. I'd love to remove the pin button but it doesn't seem possible at the moment.

Also setting check time to 0 seems to cause it to never check. (I'm assuming you just multiply the time by 60?)

How do you set it to 0? The application doesn't allow that :D

I can't remove items from the list. I can click it, remove, but it doesn't happen.

That's because I didn't put any code to do it because I didn't think it would be useful. But now that you mention it, I think it could be useful if you want to see messages that couldn't be displayed before because of the jump list item limit.

    • Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Do you remember the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft's first handheld console designed in partnership with ASUS? This week, ASUS revealed a new version of the device to celebrate twenty years of its Republic of Gamers brand. The new ROG Xbox Ally X20 features an OLED display, a transforming D-Pad, TMR sticks, and other changes. However, the chip inside the console is still the same. Forza Horizon 6 launched last month to critical acclaim, but the game will soon have a new rival made by those who used to work on Forza Horizon titles. Mike Brown from Maverick Games announced Clutch, an upcoming racing game with a story-driven campaign, deep car customization, and rich multiplayer. The game is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027. The next update for Minecraft now has a release date. This week, Mojang announced that Chaos Cubed will be available on June 16, 2026. In addition, Mojang published a teaser of the next Minecraft movie. A Minecraft Movie Squared has now been confirmed for a release somewhere in 2027. NVIDIA GeForce Now is getting 18 new games in June. Those include Jurassic World Evolution 3, Fatekeeper, GOALS, Gothic 1 Remake, NTE: Neverness to Everness, and more. If you are a Game Pass subscriber, you can also get new games soon: Persona 5 Royal, Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, and more are coming to the service this month.

    • Let's goooooooo! I've been loving the entries so far! I still have to finish Rebirth (things have been busy!)! Excited for this next installment.
    • "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
