[rel] Gmail Notifier Plus for Windows 7

[callummr]

Nice app but can you add this:

1) Auto start with windows

2) Auto Update

1) It's called the Startup folder.

2) I believe this feature is already integrated, no?

2 - not yet

1 - i know but if program do this automatically, it will be better

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.

So you don't use ANY 3rd-party software what so ever then I take it?

Since obviously you'll have thought this all out and realised that any software could do the same thing, regardless of function.

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.

[Anti018]

I am not sure what happened to my notifier. Each time when I click on the Icon, it always ask me to key in my password and not directly go into my mail.

May I know how to fix this problem?

thank you

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?

Mine stopped logging me in a week ago.

Maybe Google changed some code?

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.

Me too.

All 3 accounts on this PC and 2 on the Laptop.

:(

There are really some changes in Gmail, but GMNP works great for me

I love the idea of this app but if you use large fonts (which many do on 24" or larger monitors) 120dpi, you can't even read or use the settings dialog.

[srlake]

Anybody have a fix for the logging in issue?

[William Randol]

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.
