A request-Gmail notifier? - Nightclaw - 2010-04-03
Does anybody know a good gmail notifier?
Here are the requirements.
Must be instantaneous or as close as possible from when the message shows up in my inbox. My current one takes about 20 mins to show up, and for my needs that is unacceptable.
Must be from a trusted source that wont sell my email/info. I have sensitive information in the account that cannot be compromised.
Must have a notifier that will show up on my screen alerting me that i have a new email as soon as it shows up in my inbox.
This is because I waste so much time clicking my gmail tab every 5 seconds, and that I cant spare screen real estate to have it constantly open on top of my windows, or I dont have 2 monitors to run my gmail when I am using a full-screen program.
Thanks in advance.

What browser are you using?

I am currently using chrome.
Rarely I will switch to firefox when I need to use specialized add-ons though.

Download Google Talk client. It acts as a near instantaneous GMail notifier, even if that isn't its intended use.

Google Mail Checker for Chrome.

not instantaneous.. Three times out of 3 I caught it in my inbox before the mail checker caught it, making it useless to me.

There is no need for someone to instantaneously know that they got a new email.

Not my need, but something i occasionally do which makes it advantageous
Using email to text

Just wanna say...this so much. I like how you didn't even acknowledge it.

Thunderbird, then ignore your email window (or just close it).
