Gmail Notifier

Gmail Notifier
Keep up to date with your Gmail inbox. The Widget presents a summary of newly arrived email in a fading float-popup and plays an accompanying sound. The summary contains on author and on subject a direct link to the particular mail on Gmail. When clicking elsewhere in the summary the float-popup stays so that one can read properly. Multiple new arrivals are presented consecutively. The latest arrivals can be reannounced by selecting "Tell Latest Again" from the context-menu. Location of float-popup on screen, style of sound and overall timing can be configured in the Widget's preferences. Like other notifiers the total number of unread emails is shown as well and links to your inbox or label-inbox on Gmail. On Mac OS X, you can monitor multiple-accounts and/or multiple-labels in parallel by creating copies of this Widget with different names, configuring each individually and running them in parallel. The zero-size inbox-icon comes in handy for this. You can built fully automated content aware mail-queues by defining Gmail-labels based on Gmail-filters. This Widget has been developed on Mac OS X. It also runs on Windows.
