I got the problem today.

Although, the app still notified my incomming emails but I need to type the password again everytime when going to Inbox via web.

I guess google updates and does not allow access the gmail through plain text username&password included link.

Anyone has the similar problem with me ?

The version I used is the lastest one and the problem just appeared tonight.

The strange things happens when I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Because the same link that Gmail Notifier Plus generate

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogi...mp;null=Sign+in

That cannot log in my account if using my machine but it does when using another one.

I do not trust any Windows applications not made by Google that require you to login to web services using your Google account. Who knows if the author has put some code in there to transmit your login details to him...

I've seen others that save your Google passwords on the local computer in an open format. This just nor right. Google should only let their own Windows client software connect to their services.

This is a very bad trend that is starting. While I think this program is good, I hope it's the last of it's kind.

Just think what a person can do if they have access to your Google account...

They can have access to your Gmail, Adsence, YouTube, Analytics, Blogger, Web history, MySpace, Checkout, Calendar, Docs, Picasa, Reader, Alerts, GOOG-411.

Once they get all the data out of those accounts, they can change your password so you can't log in or worse still, they can close your account.

https://mail.google.com/mail/ would be the better address to open when you go to the inbox, because now I have to login every time I want to read or compose new mail. So if you change it to address I wrote, browser will remember me and open inbox without login form.

Hi I installed Gmail Notifier Plus for Windows 7, and during the installation there was some weird error.

Afterwards, it seems as though it had installed, but there is nothing in the Control Panel that looks like Gmail Notifier.

When I click the .exe file or open the ap, I can't 'Change Settings' at all, and of course the notifier never tells me if there's new mail in my inbox. Just about the only thing that works is 'Go to my inbox' which just opens up my web browser and the gmail page. So basically, all I can do is use the ap as a link on my taskbar.

I've tried to re-install, but as there's no 'Setup' file it's just an exe file that restarts the application. There is no uninstall anywhere, no folder in start menu, and I can neither remove it or put a new version in.

Any suggestions?

If it bothers you that much why don't you make a dummy email account and use wireshark to watch incoming and outgoing packets?

Also, gmail changed their login method, is this app going to be updated? It's pretty nice.

I just noticed a moment ago that it wasn't automatically logging me in.

Can anyone else confirm this or is it a problem on my end?

I think it's something related to Google. I use the Firefox Gmail Manager add-on and it's stopped logging me in as well.

I've got a similar application I've been working on, (None of the nice Windows 7 stuff this one has) but I just noticed that Google has disabled the old ability to automatically log in....

You used to be able to use a link with this at the start:

?service=mail&Email=(username)&Passwd=(password)&null=Sign%20in&rm=false

Alas, it seems that this has been disabled.

I have tried using the API to secure a token, but the mail service doesn't support it.

So for now it looks like automatic logins to Gmail are not possible.

However, if you're logged in on Gmail, links like "https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox/12467129a9398d63" work just fine. Why not use that?

Also the "About" window doesn't work for me at all. The one under "Gmail Notifier Plus" in the jumplist.

Yeah both doesnt work for me :(

Its annoying i have to log every time i visit my own gmail.

Of course i want to check whats version i am on, i click like 6 times i thought it was lag or something but no.

Anyhoo, overall its AWESOME program :)

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
