doron's blaahg

Excellent -- I'd just noticed that it was broken this morning, so finding a new version out already was nice to see. Thanks!

It picks up 7 new emails, but I don't have 7 new emails. Not in any label or spam or otherwise. Anyone else have this same problem?

Thank you, very much. It's very pretty the "labels output".

Best Regards.

Doron, thanks a lot for the best FF extension ever! Anyway, how about the non-ASCII labels problem I reported earlier? Any plan to address it? Not so crucial but a bit annoying anyway. Cheers!

When I log out with the notifier, and then log into a different account with it, clicking on it opens the last account, not the one I just logged into. I have to sign out at the gmail screen to switch accounts. This is a pain, and a new problem with this update.

non-ASCII is fixed in my tree, 0.5.1 will take care of it.

Logging issue Shky found - fixed as well. Gmail changed the name of the cookie used to track logged in users.

I've same problem as Greg has. Where I only have 3 unread mails in lables (archived) and none in inbox, it shows total 6 unread.

Same problem as Greg reported here: it keeps telling me I have 6 unread messages, although each individual label is shown (correctly) with 0 new messages.

I'm having the problem with it not counting unread mail properly when I have 'only report unread mail in the Inbox.' *unchecked*. If I mouse over, it says 1 unread message and then shows the Inbox and each label as having 0 unread messages. If I get a new message, the count will be total unread + 1.

Do a gmail search for "is:unread" - that is the number the notifier uses.

If the notifier is going to report unread messages that are in the archive (as was the case for me) then it should be in the tooltip pop-up. It is confusing for the user otherwise (as demonstrated here).

Doron, "is:unread" solved problems. There were some oldest unread mails (Gmail invitation acceptances) buried somewhere deep down in All Mails, for which no count is shown anywhere. Should Gmail say "All Mail(n)", too? Thanks.

Good stuff, mate, especially with the listing of new emails in labels thing.

just one prob. If a label has no new emails in it, it still adds 1 to the total of new emails. See the following PNG for an example:

Looking forward to the next release,
Cheers buddy,

Mitch-

If you look at the posts just above yours, you'll see the cause. Peform the "is:unread" search in your GMail and you'll find the six other messages. The question at this point is if this is a "feature" or not.

I've changed all unread emails to "read," but the icons still show 500 unread. Do I need to log out of the set and back in for it to show correctly (is that the way it works)? Sorry for the dumb question...

Second message...sorry. I tried logging out and then in again, and it's still showing 500 unread mails.

Hi Doron,

I have tried out your Firefox extension and I think it's one of the
most useful ones I have at the moment. I decided to move away from
Thunderbird to a web based system - therefore a good simple notifier
was all that I needed. I do have a small request - I would try to
modify it myself, but I would have to learn developing applications
for Firefox first (not hard, I know quite a few languages already
including asm and C/C++ - but that would take me some time).

The proposed idea:
A simple application launcher that supplies the number of messages as
an argument (like play sound, but instead one that launches an
application).
It would be very useful to me because I have a laptop with an email
LED that I would like activated by the notifier. I wrote a shell
script (Linux) that activates / de-activates it depending on the
number supplied to it. I don't believe it is a lot of code to add a
preference just like the play sound that will execute another program.

Best Regards,
Michael Petrov

Doron,

Great extension, one of the best IMO. One feature request: on new mail, have a persistent notification in the windows taskbar. Currently, a small notification appears and then disappears, which is great if you are looking at your computer. But, at work, I tend to look away for a while, and firefox is not always the raised window at the time. So, it would be nice to have an icon in the taskbar that indicates that I have new gmail.

Great job, keep up the good work,

Roshan

I've translated Gmail notifier to brazilian portuguese (pt-BR). How can I send locale files to you?

Hi Doron,
I ignore if anyone else already said it here, but it would be nice to be able to open a window/tab showing the messages, to open a read message. I know that the main thing to do for Gmail Notifier is to "notify of new mail", but there are many times when you simply want to reply a message you already read, or read it again, etc, and you don't have Gmail open at that exact time. With the other notifyier I'd just select "View inbox", and bingo!
Just my 2 cents.
Keep up the good work D.

The Gmail notifier shows 1 unread mail when there is none (0). Nice feature though; keep up the good work!

Hi, it works good, I like it! But pls, make notification if there is also unreaded mail in label, not inbox. --- I use some filters. If I keep cursor on icon, it writes e.g. "You have 3 unread Gmail messages", but all are under marks and not in inbox (filter is used to archive under label / all messages only, not show in inbox). So, icon says 0 but there are 3. Could you change it pls? I think it could be helpful.

Very nice program. I like the way it automatically logs you in each time rather than having to respond to a requester the way Google's does (which is why I don't use Google's). Any chance of implementing a feature that allows GMail to be used as the default email program when clicking on mailto: links?

I'd like to second Tomas's suggestion above and add one of my own. Would it be possible to support multiple GMail accounts?

Thanks, and I love the extension!

My GMail Notifier doesn't work. I'm running the latest Firefox 1.0.7 and downloaded and installed the latest GMail Notifier 0.5.2.1. It used to work when I had an earlier version and then stopped working. I'm trying to get it going again. It keeps on saying Login Failed. I can log in to my GMail account in the normal way - but GMail Notifier doesn't want to co-operate. I run Windows XP Professional and use the Windows Firewall. Is there a setting I need to change somewhere?

Hello!
Wonderful extension! I love the "labels output"!

One suggestion:
What about the "starred" items? It would be nice to have an "starred item output" additionally?

Yours,
