MABOROSHI  Are there any future plans for this to auto log-in to the website when you choose "Open Inbox" like Google Notifier does?

MABOROSHI  ...more detailed growl messages would be awesome too!

e.g. subject/sender

DAEMON  Is it possible for Gmail Notifr to redirect mailto: links to your mailbox (create new email) like the official Google Notifier? Would be nice indeed, then I could drop Google Notifier altogether.

ASHCHAN  I'm happy to tell you that this feature in under development and should be turned on in the future release (perhaps one or two versions later).

Thanks,

James

AIKWAAR  I am afraid, that this software does not support proxy settings (to be behind the proxy may be one reason to use this soft, when POP3 is disabled) :-( But overall it's OK

ASHCHAN  Just released a fix version for this (v0.4.4), please update it via "Check for Updates...".

I have some problem signing the update under Snow Leopard so it's a little bit late:)

You could also download a beta version with some new features: http://ashchan.com/gn-beta.zip .

ARYA  Thank u for the quick respond :-)

I have tried the beta version. Nice :-)

I like the idea of individual setting & action for each account (including the growl notification), while still having the action-for-all option. However, it's kinda weird (but still nice) to hear multiple sound notification when two (or more) accounts received new emails at the same time.

ARYA  I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now the gmail notifr doesn't show the number of mails beside its icon on toolbar. Any suggestion?

ASHCHAN  This app depends on RubyCocoa, which is installed by default on Leopard and Snow Leopard. It's not practical to embed the rubycocoa framework inside the app, or to ask the user install development tool and rubycocoa by themselves either. So I'm sorry I'm not able to make it run on Tiger.

If you have installed rubycocoa manually on Tiger, chances are you're able to run gmail notifr. (I have helped some friends do that and they don't have problem with it)

NICKJ  Nice job, James! Very useful little app.

Thanks also for offering up your time and expertise to develop this without even attaching a price tag!

PABLITO  WOW! the new icon is astonishing, amazing, gorgeous! looks great .. a futuristic 2009 icon that I liked so much! The application is better than ever. Less memory, less threats again ... check updates, numbers of inbox .. all of sudden the best notifier. I strongly recommend instead any other. Easy 5 stars.
