[rel] Gmail Notifier Plus for Windows 7

[dirtytrick]

Over HTTPS? Oh no.

Oh yes. Just look at the URL when it opens the Inbox. This is security deficiency !!!

[game_over]

It doesn't use POP but the Atom feed over https :)

annoying, i can view the atom feed in FF and IE.. but when it comes to this app it just doesn't function.

possible to add built in proxy settings? i dunno

Erm. It's over HTTPS, what's the problem?

Great little app. Congratulations on creating a neat piece of software.

2 things you might want to consider:

- Is it possible to add support for launching the default mail client instead of opening GMail's home page? and

- Would you add an option to autostart the notifier on logon?

I love the application and has been using it since the day I installed windows 7.

I just upgraded to version 2.1 and noticed this small bug: When you choose a language (I tried hebrew and italian) and then quit the app, the language returns to english when launching again.

For #1, if you use a mail client, what's the point from having the notifier? The client does it for you anyway :)

For #2, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run .. New -> String Value -> RClick to modify -> "Path\To\Gmail Notifier Plus.exe"

and name it as you please.

This would be such a wonderful little app, but for me it's absolutely useless because it doesn't support labels. All my incoming mails gets immediately archived with the help of filters, so nearly all notifiers just don't notify me when there is a new mail since it's never in my inbox. It's a pity, in Windows there is only the Firefox-AddOn Google Mail Manager with support for labels, but a counter in the Superbar would be much more useful.

I love Gmail Notifier Plus, thanks for creating this great application. However, I loose the ability to see the unread email count when choosing the option to show smaller icons on my Windows task bar.

Is there a way to show the number of unread messages or just an indicator that there are unread messages when using small icons on the taskbar? I understand this may not be a possible, but wanted to find out... as I prefer the smaller icons.

Thanks.

[coxis]

tnx for this one

[ultimate99]

is it possible to include the option of deleting or mark as read within the notifier itself?

[Mathachew Veteran]

As noted on previous pages, that's beyond the scope of a notifier.

Any news on the use of this software with a Google Apps gmail account? I do know they work in almost the same way but it seems not to be working at the moment. I will be happy to provide you with a test account if you need to run any testing.

Thanks for the great app!!

That's odd because all of the active email accounts I use are through Google Apps and this works with them. It didn't support it at first IIRC, but it certainly does now.

Great and awesome notifier. I see you allow multiple accounts... any plans on having multiple label support? I use my gmail as a "all-in-one" email place. So when mail comes in I send it to different Labels depending what it is (Work, personal, etc).

However when I use this, and get new unread mail in the "Work" Label, it doesn't show up... it only shows unread mail in the INBOX.

GAlert (Google Alert) does this (although older program). To do it it just asks for a "Label" when creating a new account, and will check mail in that label. Else it just does it in the INBOX. This way you can just add 3 or 4 of the same account under "Multiple Accounts" and just use different labels to get the desired effect. This may be an easy way to implement?

Or add an option under the options to click the labels it should check for new mail in?

Would be nice to have some color code or such depending on the account/label the new mail is for as well.

I think the problem, why these features can't be added is, that GNP uses the RSS!!!

If the developer can code a new checking system like the original gmail notifier: http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/notifier_windows.html

the other features won't be a problem anymore!

The Pros:

+ better an faster checking

+ faster login on clicking: View Inbox

and many more ;)

let' s hope that there will come a v2.5 version or a v3.0 soon =)

[Codster314]

ahhh;

I think with RSS it's easier to add these features (Labels). Since you already have support for multiple accounts... his program already allows multiple RSS feeds to be checked.

It is just a matter of adding the Label to the end of the RSS feed and treat this as a new account:

"https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/[Label]"

Right now he probably just has:

"https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" (With the login info and such for each account)

Hi, thanks for this amazing program - almost everything works fine, but I have this problem:

When I click "Go to your Inbox" then it takes me to the Gmail Login page with filled username, but the Password column is blank and autologin doesn't works...

Is there any solution to this? I have the same problem with http://www.gmailnotifier.com/...

Thanks for advice!

Barton this is happening for me as well, but if I manually go to gmail.com it auto logs in and takes me straight to my inbox. Annoying!

[Calum Veteran]

I really do like this program, it is so useful, thank you. Have you ever considered adding a window which just uses the Web browser component in .NET, so that everytime you click "Go to your inbox" or click on a new email, instead of opening up a new tab in the user's Web browser, everytime, it just opens up that one window whenever needed? That is the one thing I dislike about this application - there is no way to efficiently manage my email once it tells me I have recieved it and everytime I click on a new email, a new tab opens in my browser. Often I end up with multiple Gmail tabs open, when I only require the one tab. Ideally, I'd like Gmail to not open in another tab when I click on an email but just in another window with nothing but Gmail (as would happen if you converted the website to an application in Chrome or using Prism). When closing the window, it wouldn't have to close the whole application, just that one window and then clicking on another email or "Go to your inbox" would just open up that window again.

Basically, that way, it'd work exactly how it does now, with the window hidden when not needed (unless the user minimises the window instead of closes it). If that was added to the application then it would be perfect for my needs. Maybe it could even be an option in the settings if others don't like the sound of it (either "Open Gmail in your browser" or "Open Gmail within this application").

Is it a "yes", "maybe" or definite "no?" :p If it's a "no", is this application open source at all so I could add it myself? :happy:

EDIT - I've seen on previous pages that this application does not contain other features because it is beyond the scope of a "notifier" and I assume my suggestion would not be included in that? If it is, then a link to "Go to your inbox" would also be beyond the scope of a notifier... all my suggestion is is for the links to open up a window used by the application to display the message or inbox (whichever is clicked), rather than opening new tabs in the browser all of the time. Possibly using the .NET Web browser compononent :)

Hi, and congratulation for this great App.

I just have installed 2.1 version (under Win 7 64bits) and when I click on "compose email" or click over any unread email ever my browser open Gmail inbox, don't open the body of this unread email... I hope fix it for next version 2.2.

Thanks for this fantastic App.

[Rob Veteran]

Any way of using the new Google Sync Exchange-emulation offered by Gmail to notify 'push email'-style? Know it'd be a complete rewrite of the app, throwing it out there though :)

[hanok]

Compose mail is another option beyond the scope of a notifier, but in Gmail Notifier Plus is included. Include also delete and mark as read options will improve the app and don't disturb the notification process (of course , if is possible to do it) :)

Thanks for the app!

[iShift]

Nice app but can you add this:

1) Auto start with windows

2) Auto Update

[KeeperOfThePizza]

Thanks for this :)

Great program, been using it for several weeks now.

One problem I've come across is an error message after a wake up from hibernation. It's happened a few times so far but it's the first time I've managed to save it. what could this be and how can it be solved? thanks
