Another GMail Notifier Beta Call

Gmail Notifier 0.4 Beta (0.3.20).

The last issue people are reporting is the system notification the notifier uses on Windows doesn't work for some. If you install and enable the notifications (right click on the gmail icon and choose preferences to enable) and see problems, please go to the preferences panel and click on the Debug Console button and post that output here.

Thanks!

Hmm, here is 0.3.20 that adds even more logging:

are multiple accounts supported yet?

I had a strange experience with the gmail notifier once.

I have two accounts:
- firstname.lastname@gmail.com
- nickname@gmail.com

the gmail notifier was set up to report on my firstname.lastname account.

I logged into my nickname account and invited someone to gmail, but for some reason the invite was sent from my firstname.lastname account.

This happened twice.

I'm getting the alert, but many times the number of new messages reported on the alert, icon and actual new emails does not match.

"I'm getting the alert, but many times the number of new messages reported on the alert, icon and actual new emails does not match."

The number on the icon and alert should match. Those numbers are updated every so often (interval set in the preferences panel), so if you in the mean time read gmails, then the count will be off untill the next update.

Multiple accounts does not work right now and will create weirdness.

Great job. Love the fact that opening new windows inherits the notifier logged in.
I'll let you know if I come across any issues.

Great job, indeed. The only problem I have, is automatic logout. Any clue what could cause that?

Great work, it's a much needed extensions.

However is it possible to animate the icon when it's checking for new messages? Just to show that there is some activity and not just look exactly the same as when it's inactive.

Keep it up.. I'll be closely watching this site.
