Activate 'hidden' features in the Gmail Notifier
I don't understand why anyone needs the Gmail notifier - just set your Gmail account to allow POP downloading and use your email client to manage your Gmail mail...

Or even subscribe to GMail newsfeed and place it in bookmarks bar to see new messages count...

Because it's POP. I want my email to be exactly the same no matter where I am, which is why I'm obsessive compulsive about IMAP.

Because reading a new message in Mail.app doesn't mark the message as read in GMail, and vice versa.

actually it does mark messages as read. if you set it up in gmail pop preferences, you can have it it archive all the messages downloaded to mail, so you dont miss anything, and dont have to sort through crap when you access gmail from somewhere else. its beautiful.
Gmail POP, archive, and spam
I've noticed Gmail POP occasionally fails to download (and archive, on the Gmail side) a couple messages, which I know are still in the INBOX because of the RSS feed I use to monitor it. And when I interactively login to Gmail those check those messages they've *always* been spam. I have no idea why it behaves like that but it's actually a feature for me because I can mark those unarchived messages as spam without reading them.

I use the Gmail Notifier at work (can't use POP on two machines), and it's great. Unlike the PC notifier, you can go straight to a new message, and it immediately marks it as read. I used to use Gmail Status, but it seemed to cause problems with my connection timing out if I took too long to write an email. With the Gmail Notifier I can take all day to write an email and no problems.

I can understand why people don't want to use POP for gmail. I like Gmail's web interface, but I like being notified on my desktop when I have new mail. I found a much better Gmail notifier than the one that even Google made. It uses Atom feeds provided by Google to check it. Definitely the best one I've used so far. You can get it here:
Gmail Atom feed
Nice tip and utility, though I've grown to like the convenience of having the feed/notification directly in Safari and dropping into Gmail from there.

The problem with this approach is that all eMail gets downloaded straight to the Inbox without some major tweaking_ The "Labels" in Gmail do not translate to a standard mail clients "Folders"_ |
