Could someone upload GmailNotifierPlus-v1.2.zip to somewhere else, please? (preferably localhostr, as Mediafire is blocked here, and I can't seem to download it even with a web proxy.

I don't have localhostr, but here's a dropbox link: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/465760/GmailNotifierPlus-v1.2.zip

This is a nice app for those who like to use the Gmail interface. That was all I used for a while. For those of you who like a dedicated program, but cant stand outlook and cant get Thunderbird to be really seamless with Gmail, try Postbox. Its lightweight, based on Firefox, has seamless Gmail integration and some good extra organizational tools. http://www.postbox-inc.com/

hi, i just registered to say thank you for sharing this app. i am not a programer but i really like both, the idea and the implementation of the notifier. it seems to be caching up with win7 users and i really hope to see it grow. i didn't have the time to read the entire thread yet, but i noticed there was an issue with some people using 64bit windows. i am using version 1.2 with 7201 x64 and as far as i can tell everything works as expected. one feature that i would like to see would be the ability to open the default email client when i click on the notifier, instead of the browser.

again, all the best daty2k1, and thanks for this app.

will.

Thanks for the great application! I just wanted to point out a little bug I've noticed: sometimes the background of the Aero Peek preview of the notifier turns black. The attached image should give you a better idea of what's going on. Let me know if you need any extra info. I'm running Windows 7 RC x64.

Thanks again!

Edit: There's probably no way to do this, but can it be eliminated from the Alt-Tab screen? Thanks!

Yeah, same thing happens to me sometimes.

Updated with new version 1.2 Get it here.

What's new in 1.2:

- Google Apps support (Thanks abirdd for the account :))

- Application will no longer appear first in alt-tab

- Fixed mail counter in preview when there are more than 99 unread messages

- Additional bug fixing

What's new in 1.1:

- Updated unread counter icon to make it clearer

- Added multi-language support: English, French and Spanish (thanks Demgel!) at the moment.

- Added automatic login to gmail when opening a message or the inbox

I'd like to thank Chris Ivarson (which I completely forgot to do when I first released the app, sorry!) for his great Gmail icon.

Hello everyone. I've been a member of this forum for a while now but I've never actually contributed. So for my first post, I'd like to present you a little tool I've made:

As you have probably guessed, this is a Windows 7 only mail notifier that will sit in the taskbar:

ngwrvb.pngfaq2on.png

It allows you to see a preview of all unread mails you have. Clicking on the button in the center will open the mail in Gmail:

Unread mails are also accessible from the jump list. Clicking on one of them will also open it in Gmail.

And that's about it! It is using Gmail secured RSS feed to retrieve the mails so it should be pretty safe. Credentials are saved using a machine's dependent encryption. Here are some more screens:

Of course, feel free to report any bug you might encounter :)

Yes, by the way, when I click Compose Mail, it sends me is not to create a new letter, but just in a inbox.

Win 7.7201, Opera 10b1

Works fine for me with Firefox but looks like it doesn't work with IE either. Thanks, I'll look into it.

Thanks, I'll update the original post :)

Happens to me only when my graphic driver crashes. Does anything happen before you notice that?

Nice little app. One suggestion...honor the default browser when opening the inbox or selecting compose mail or make it configurable for which browser (assuming multiple installed) should be used for gmail activity.

It should be opening in your default browser as I don't specify any specific browser when opening the link. It handled by Windows. It is working fine for me when I change my default browser.

I cant in any way access the change account settings, it shows in the popup view, but when i click it nothing happens. I wanted to change it because i typed @gmail.com in the first box

A few people reported this bug as well. I haven't found what the problem is yet but it doesn't matter if you typed @gmail.com, it should be working fine too.

^

The only way i can re-access the options in this case is by closing the app. and re-open it. Then i have the options menu again.

Didnt notice yet what is the reason that causes this problem.

Same reason here.

I'm really starting to think that all these issues are just bugs in the Windows 7 API for .NET. Wouldn't be too surprising considering it's still in beta. According to the MSDN page, final version should be released around the time Windows 7 goes RTM. Hopefully it will be working fine for everyone :)

Ok. Haven't found a way to prevent that yet :(

actually i think its just a bug in Win7 lol.. coz other programs don't have the jumplist working properly either.. i just found out that it's supposed to keep track of your latest opened file in the jumplist, but for some reason it seems that the jumplist is disabled.. screenshot:

EDIT:

OK! i got it i think!

This worked for me:

1. Right click on Windows Orb

2. Click on Properties

3. Click on Start Menu tab

4. Make sure Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar is checked

5. Then click on Customize

6. Make sure Number of recent items to display in Jump Lists is however many unread emails you want to have shown in jump list!

7. Click on OK then again on OK

if the problem is solved for others using this solution, i guess its not a bug after all lol :p

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
