Check your Gmail messages without opening your browser!

The Gmail Notifier is a downloadable Windows application that alerts you when you have new Gmail messages. It displays an icon in your system tray to let you know if you have unread Gmail messages, and shows you their subjects, senders and snippets, all without your having to open a web browser.

The Notifier is in beta. Before you download it, we encourage you to review the system requirements and privacy information.

cool thing... gonna try it now
Tried it ... it's good enough .. though i'm not using gmail these days since it has an attachement problem (I don't know if it is because of my slow connection though)..

that's not the only problem, it doesn't open in networks, and some browsers don't support it and crap like that! as for the attachment, the way it does is different, it attaches it immediately, but when we send the email, then it takes a lot of time to send it! (like only when we submit the mail it does the attachment) that's not much practical
GMail Website Is Too Slow, I Hope This Idea Would Solse Some Problems ...
well i guess it wont solve much, coz in the end, u click on the notifier when it notifies u abt u havin new email, and it takes u to the gmail website, so same old song
I even have problems logging in :D:D
Well, I tried to log on using FireFox, it worked fine, but IE is shitty
And the notifier is great, but still some problems connecting to the server
well, gmail is still a beta, so some connection problems must be expected...it's not complete yet

on top of that gmail doesn't like it either and will disable your account
