requirement
1. Your computer must have Windows XP or Vista.
2. Your computer must have the internet.
3. You must have a Gmail Account.
4. You can install some program on your computer.
I used to use the Gmail Notifier.
ReplyDeleteBut since Dec. 1 there has been an even better way of keeping track: the Gmail Gadget for the Google Desktop.
The big advantage it has over the Notifier is that you actually see your inbox all the time as a small display on a sidebar, and, best of all, you can have two (or even more, I guess), Gmail Gadgets showing different Gmail accounts. I now have my personal Gmail and my AUA email open and accessible at a glance all the time.
There is more information at http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/gmail-on-your-desktop.html
And the class Blog sends me an email advice when someone posts or comments, so it's easy to track that as well.
