Gmail Informer

Gmail Informer is (just) another windows gmail inbox notifier that resides in the notification area. I wrote this because I wanted to get familiar with C# and Windows software development and I did not like any of the other notifiers I’ve encountered.

Among it features are:

  • Nice easy-to-the-eye notifications with different transition effects
  • Fetches unread emails from defined label
  • Stores credentials with Windows user account encryption
  • It’s free! :P

Requires the .NET Framework 3.5 (fetched by the installer if necessary).

The most current version is 0.5.0 Beta.
Please report any bugs you encounter!
I have personally only tested the program with Windows 7, though it seem to work just the same on XP too.
