Due to a change at Gmail versions 1.3 and earlier of Gmail Notifier may not work, therefore, version 1.4 has now been released and resolves this issue. The GUI is also much more responsive than it used to be. Gmail Notifier is currently looking for testers. Email me using the link at the bottom of this page if you can help.

A new feature that was suggested by Matt Labrum has also been added that changes the tray icon color to blue when there are one or more new messages, otherwise the icon will stay red.

A Debian package has now been released, a Windows exe and MAC OS X specific version will be along soon.

Major bugfixes in this release, overall usability improved.

A major libgmail library problem several people complained about has been resolved in this release, some other small fixes have been applied, and a Windows specific version will be released soon.

Tray icon created on startup in KDE or Gnome, many minor bugs fixed and overall usability improved.
