Yep Constantinos,

I am getting the sign-in dialog box more frequently than I’d like. I’d prefer to have this automated, so that I wouldn’t have to waste my time clicking the sign-in button.

Anyone have a solution for this?

Sadly it is only for Mac OS 10.4 & higher unlike the last version, and according to http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27344 it is buggy as heck. :-(

Is anyone else getting the sign in page over and over again without actually saying that the details entered are wrong?

I am using it on a PPC G4 (Laptop). Any ideas?

[...] Paul points us to the GMail Notifier replacement, Google Notifier, which incorporates a Google Calendar notifier as well. I've been running it for a day and I already want to go back to GMail Notifier. This new version has popup notifications, but it doesn't use Growl, so I can't customize it at all. The notifications last way too long if I don't click on them, and if I do click on them, the email doesn't open up. A bigger issue, however, is that the clickable region doesn't extend all the way to the top of the screen like it did in GMail Notifier and it does in every other menu bar item. It bothers me more than I thought it could, but it's enough to make me go back to the old app. [...]

The notifier is great. Seeing the new release actually convinced me to give Gmail another try over the hosted email solution I transferred to. Can’t say I am a fan of the icon(s). I had to swap those out ASAP.

There's a new version of Gmail+Growl out that supports Google Notifier, available here. Does anyone else have problems with the Calendar notifier? It keeps asking for my password endlessly when I turn it on.

Great update on Googles part to that software. Though, I personally put my gmail notifier sound back to Blow. It’s ingrained into my mind. :)

I’ve always used the notifier’s growl plugin to get that sort of pop-up. I wonder if the new notifier uses growl or if they rolled their own pop-up notifier thingy.

what about being able to set the mail check interval ?

i wish i could set it to something shorter… until then i guess i’ll just stick with gmailstatus.

Iâ€™m not sure if the PC version got updated too, but Iâ€™d assume so.

No it did not: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/notifier/notifier_windows.html

The PC notifier does not include Calendar notifications, however Google Desktop supports Google Calendar. So, for the moment Mac users are 1UPing the Windows Notifier.

What’s the application with the icon to the left of Google Notifier?

The PC version has not been updated or changed. The Google Notifier (Mac) page is says last updated August 18, 2006 while the Gmail Notifier (Windows) page last updated March 21, 2006 so I assume they are just playing catch-up like Paul says.

Well the Notifier for the PC already had these types of notification with the whole pop up thing, so in a sense they’re just playing catch-up. I’m not sure if the PC version got updated too, but I’d assume so.
