I just manually checked my Yahoo mailbox, and there was this HUGE backlog of unanswered mail going back weeks and weeks. This widget just plain doesnt work on my iMacIntel.

Mail Checker Troubleshooting Reportmultiple accounts? - Version: 1.6, 7/11/2006 10:02PM PST

joehobson
First off, i love the widget. I like Gmail Notifier more, but decided to switch to this so i could see 2 Gmail accounts at once. Other people claim that they can get it to work. For me, i get two widgets with different login info, but the same message count. Sure, clicking on the widget brings up that accounts inbox, but the message count is wrong. Anyone have tips to fix this?

Mail Checker ReviewExcellent widget! - Version: 1.6, 1/17/2006 03:14PM PST

Love the widget... use it constantly, the best way to keep track of my three separate gmail addresses. The best feature is by far the progress indicator, which was missing in the previous versions (had to hack the code myself to get a crude progress indicator)

What I'm still missing however is an indication of which notifier stamp is checking which email address... A very small hack I added displays the username of the account at the top of the stamp, but obviously this disrupts the otherwise perfect layout! An integration would be much appreciated.

Mail Checker ReviewGreat product stoped using it - Version: 1.3, 10/18/2005 07:49PM PST

I used this for a little while, then moved on to Gmail Notifier with growl. It really all depends on how you like it. The Widget is very easy to use, and works incredibly well. I really would like to see something similar to this that checks non-gmail accounts too.

I stopped using this because I liked the alerts I got when using growl in Gmail notifier, but this is better because one simple mouse movement and BOOM, you know if something is in your inbox.

It all depends on what you prefer, even though I prefer others I still have to give this a 5/5.

Mail Checker ReviewLink doesn't work - Version: 1.3, 7/17/2005 06:07AM PST

shaunrosenberg
The link to gmail, when you click on the stamp doesn't bring me to my inbox or even a login screen, its too bad, because at one point it did work, but that may have been a previous version. There is also no known way to easily correct this, by entering in the link manually, maybe the developer could address this issue. Otherwise a great widget. Simple and effective.(once this bug is fixed)

Mail Checker Troubleshooting Reportredirect & login to https://mail.google.com/ broken - Version: 1.3, 7/14/2005 11:42AM PST

Chris Milne
Checks for new messages properly & looks dandy but the click-to-redirect opens a new tab in Safari which then goes into a never-ending loop and never manages to either present a login page or my Inbox. It flips between
https://www.google.com/accounts/....
https://mail.google.com/mail/....
It will apparently do this forever. Oddly enough if I stop this infinite loop & then reload the tab it works properly. It may in fact be a Safari problem [this is using Version 2.0 (412.2)].

Mail Checker Troubleshooting ReportGreat - version maybe wrong - Version: 1.2, 7/11/2005 01:12PM PST

This is a great Gmail checker - small and yet noticeable. When I did look in the Widget control panel in the system preferences (a plug in) Isee that the version I have is only version 1.0 except that I freshly downloaded and installed version 1.2
