Gmail Tools

June 27, 2004 06:34 PM


I found some more interesting tools to make your Gmail experience smoother —

  • G-Mailto: Sets Gmail as your default mail program in Windows. So when you click on a mailto:// url, your favourite web browser will open up a page with Gmail's Compose window. Pretty nifty.
  • GTray: Windows system tray notifier for new Gmail mail.
  • GmailCompose: A Mozilla Firefox extension to open the Gmail compose window with the click of a button.
  • Gmail Loader: Import your existing mail into Gmail!
  • Other supporting apps to help move to Gmail.

Gmail doesn't work for me; I'm on a Mac, and only use IE, and that combo is "unsupported." I'm still supposed to be able to log in and use most of the features, but that always gives me an error message.

I hope they don't expect me to get a whole other browser running just to access an email account that I don't actually need, lol.

I avoid Mac-hostile services like the plague, so, even if they ever make their accounts work with IE, they're out of luck if they want me to use their email service.

I just finished my Gmail notification application called gNotify.

gNotify monitors your Gmail account and notifies you via the systray when new mail arrives.

To download it, or for more information and screenshots, visit:

Just came across this website which can convert your Gmail account to a blogging tool. It's by some Mexican programmer and I think it runs on PHP. The website is :

I have written a little app to look at my gmail - just cus i was sick of it getting muddled up with my internet explorer windows.

It's pretty basic - but it'll put the number of mails you have in the taskbar at the bottom - like outlook.

I have just been trying out a Linux clone of the Notifier program released by Google, it seems to work really well. Take a look: http://gmail-notify.sourceforge.net/

I've written a web based gDrive in PHP that allows you to store files of any size (other gDrives are limited by gMail's max of 10Mb per attachment)
