Im sure this had been asked/answered but why cant we see the mail number when the superbar is set to small icons ?

Because Microsoft won't let applications do anything dynamic in the superbar when it's small. It'll only display the application's icon, and a progress bar.

Hmm, I wonder if you could indicate/clear new messages using the progress bar function...

maybe something like this for new email notification? example: the progress bar fills completely when you have new email, or fills so much depending on how many new emails you have (like 2 or 3 emails = 20%-30% of the progress bar filled)

A bit overkill to be honest. Keeping the application simple is better IMO. The sort of notification is has now is just fine, maybe add support for "flashing" the icon when there's a new email would be a good idea :-)

This apps is really great :)

Maybe to integrate notification with Growl for Windows could be easily done in a future version?

Interesting, maybe it's a good idea to do that (make it optional too). I just think that Gmail Notifier+ needs a couple of notification methods. It apparently doesn't notify you properly if you have small superbar icons, and if you miss the notification sound for any reason, there's no way for you to know if you actually have mail or not, unless you manually check (which I do, and it's frustrating).

One more thing I wish to see is a resizeable configuration dialog. I have more than one account, and I wish to see them (or at least as much as possible) in the configuration dialog. Also would be nice if Daty adds an option to (re)order accounts in the account list.

Daty, would you share your ToDo list with us?

Yes!! I want to use this app but using the full size icons is just a waste of space. Make the icon flash (like in Mensaging programs, for exemplo, Windows Live Messenger) when the program checks for messages and there are >0 to read. What do you think? If this is implemented I'll start using right way. For now I'm using a Notifier inside Firefox but I'd prefer this one.

Notifier is great application, but it has a major bug concerning check for new emails.

I have set it to check every 10 minutes. It checks for the emails, and get that there are 3 emails. I log to Gmail and there are 3 new emails. I delete (or archive) those 3, and there are no more new emails. In the next 10 minutes I get three new emails. Notifier than makes another check and reports nothing. It's still says that I have 3 new emails, but it's still showing previously found 3, not new emails. My guess is that call Notifier makes to Gmail to check for email is only checking number of emails not actually what those emails are.

daty2k1,

I just registered here only to write a comment.

That's a very nice tool, is it possible to make a suggestion? I would like to have the option to make the sound repeat until the unread messages are read. That's because I set my taskbar to 'auto hide' and sometimes I leave the computer alone. So when I return I did not hear the sound and can not see the unread numbers.

This feature is something I saw at the gmail addon for FireFox. Maybe Gmail Notifier+ can give a sound every time it checks for new emails and detects an unread email?

Cheers,

Arnie-75

Hi, I am a user from China. This software is fantastic. I really appreciate.

While I still have a tiny suggestion, I use opera not IE for surfing. when I click the "open" button, IE will be used for gmail sign in.So I wonder whether it is possible to add a option in setting to let user choose which browser they like to open gmail.

Thanks a lot!

I think you have to set Opera as your default browser. I use Firefox, I have that set as my default browser, and it always opens up in Firefox.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. Look it up and keep it. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
