Hi. Follow me on Twitter.

   Juan,
   
   I have FireFox 0.9. What do you mean it should check for default browser? Do you mean I should check and if none is set I should launch IE? I can’t really find any other browser other than IE, it would mean a lot of dangerous coding of going through the hard drive, anyways too painful. The user is responsible for registering a default browser (in my opinion).
2. juanej 06.28.04 / 11pm
   it doesnt work with mozilla firefox 0.9 (spanish language at least), it should check the default browser
3. Claudia 06.28.04 / 2pm
   Wonderful tool! I hope you can make some money on this – sell it to Google? Mine takes over whichever browser window I am in, even though I have checked the setting that says, “Always create a new window.” And, it wouldn’t hold my password, either, as in some of the other messages posted here. Good luck with your programming!
4. Anonymous 06.28.04 / 12pm
   I am sad to say I can’t get this to work on windows NT (which I what we use at work).
5. Eurisko97 06.28.04 / 12pm
   Oh wow! Thank you so much. *downloads immidaetly* This little thing actually makes Gmail /useable/ for me. I have been using POP3 clients for over two years now and I really can’t stand the thought of webmail, and yet I love Gmail’s UI.
   
   Thank you, and I do hope you can open source Gtray eventually.
6. Ryan 06.28.04 / 9am
   Is it possible that you can make a conversion for us still using 98 that don’t have the balloons feature so we can get popup notifications as well?
   Other wise it’s just a taskbar shortcut
   
   thanks
7. anonymous 06.28.04 / 3am
   A nice option would be to have the ability to *optionally* specify a browser to open, so for instance I could have it open Firefox instead of Mozilla.
8. Larry Sawell 06.28.04 / 1am
   I want Gmail, please. Would someone tell me how to get it?
9. Cliff 06.28.04 / 12am
   I am sooooo glad you added Firefox support!!
10. vladimir 06.28.04 / 12am
    1) Thanks for GTray. I think it needs a few improvements, and it’ll be a very nice utility.
    
    2) GTray takes the focus when checks mail. This is a serious and very annoying bug. It is especially irritating when I’m typing something and suddenly the window loses the focus because of GTray and I cannot type anymore until click on the window again.
    
    3) Is it really a good idea to change the icon in the system tray? For example, I see that new mail has arrived and I have a window with gmail open, so I go to that window and read the mail. Of course, GTray doesn’t know I did this (I didn’t click on it, I already had a window with gmail open!) so even when mail is read the system tray icon is still unchanged – up to the next email check.
11. Emily 06.28.04 / 12am
    The baloon doesn’t work….it doesn’t work well with IE at least…
12. Daniel 06.27.04 / 10pm
    Can GTray go through authentication Proxy servers?
13. Corey Martin 06.27.04 / 10pm
    When it checks for mail automatically, GTray temporarily steals the focus of whatever window is open. Is it just my computer?
14. Jimmy 06.27.04 / 3pm
    if I have the OPERA Browser open and dbl click on the Gtray icon it opens in OPERA but with the error message
15. nasko 06.27.04 / 2pm
    “Always create a new window” in Browser settings does not works in 2.0.0.6 version. I hope that will be fixed in that great app.
16. ondrake 06.27.04 / 2pm
    gtray with firefox support is not working for me, it is just opening gmail without logging in.
17. shadymg 06.26.04 / 10pm
    AMAZING UPDATES!!! I mean, it went from a program i so couldn’t use, to one which has me switching to GMAIL Permanently!!! Thanks!!
18. mike 06.26.04 / 9pm
    can u make an app that checks multiple(around 11) email accounts for invites
    
    thanks,
    mike
19. Jimmy 06.26.04 / 8pm
    ok downloaded the program again and it works Great!!!
20. Jimmy 06.26.04 / 8pm
    Thanks for the new version for Fire Fox
    But About with this version does not reflect the version being used.
21. Elias 06.26.04 / 7pm
    I’ve added version info to the about dialog.
22. Sam P 06.26.04 / 7pm
    also in the about box it would be good if you could add the version number too as there is no way to find out what version you have.
23. Sam P 06.26.04 / 7pm
    new version as of today still steals focus unfort, maybe you could post the source code and someone can fix it.
24. david 06.26.04 / 6pm
    creo que es muy bueno
25. Simon 06.26.04 / 6pm
    Can it open gmail in firefox? As that is my defult browser.
26. Elias 06.26.04 / 6pm
    Zac:
    
    Fixed. Thanks. I also made it so that it would be “1 message” and “2 messages” instead of “1 message(s)”.
27. Zac 06.26.04 / 5pm
    Just a quick recommendation: how about proper grammar in the popup balloon? Spaces don’t go before exclaimation points, and it’s rather irksome.
    
    Otherwise, good job.
28. Brian 06.26.04 / 12pm
    Elias:
    I have written a program to do just as yours except I can’t figure out to properly do the HTTP POST on the variables Email and Passwd. I POST those variables, but it seems that Gmail requires me to execute some javascript and checks the referrer. Any clues? Thanks -
29. Sunshine 06.26.04 / 10am
    Thank you, thank you for updating. Changin e-mailprog solved I’ll keep checking back here for the update to see if the focus issue is solved (an default bowser option ofcourse).
    
    greetz,
    
    A happy Gtray user
30. Elias 06.26.04 / 9am
    Sunshine: Sorry, sorry. Some code I was playing with for mailto registration slipped in one of the updates. Please download the latest, so it won’t register as the default mail handler.
    
    The focus issue is being worked on.
    
    Gina: Your XP balloon tooltips might be disabled. There’s a link in the FAQ.
31. Sunshine 06.26.04 / 8am
    Soz for doubleposting, just wanted to let u know ur prog takes focus when it checks for G-mail. this is very annoyin when ur typing away somewhere then u look up an see half wasn’t written.
32. Sunshine 06.26.04 / 8am
    I noticed that ur prog changes the default e-mailprogram, any chance u can fix that?
    
    Also an option to use ur default browser would be nice
    
    Thanks in advance, u created something many Gmail-users were lookin for.
33. Gina 06.26.04 / 4am
    Night Song: I don’t have that particular program running but I do have AdSubtract on top of a firewall that filters as well.
    
    If I doubleclick on the tray icon it opens up just fine. I’m just not getting any notification. When it checks mail, it shows in the tooltip that it is for about a minute then reverts back to the regular tooltip. I figure it’s just my OS .
34. Elias 06.26.04 / 12am
    Gina/Night Song:
    
    I have updated GTray to go directly to the login page and not the redirect. Hope this helps. Just download again.
35. Night Song 06.26.04 / 12am
    Gina,
    
    Are you running Spybot? If so it is probably not allowing you to redirect. Gtray is trying to open gmail.google.com which now redirects to gmail.google.com/gmail I’m having the same problem, still trying to find a work-a-round. I miss my GTRAY!! But I started getting too many popups when I started using IE again instead of Firefox so I had to install Spybot….
    Elais, is there any way to change the url GTRAY tries to connect? I looked in registry but couldn’t find any keys with the url to modify. But many thanks for such a useful program!
36. Shrix 06.25.04 / 11pm
    Hi Lotas,
    
    Ur tool GTray is really very cool, and very useful.
    Can I request if u have a gmail invitation to spare.
    Thanx for the great tool.
    
    Regards,
    /Shrix
37. Elias 06.25.04 / 8pm
    I’ll try to find sometime to post snippets and how I did it. You can always start from the codeproject.com articles I linked to in my original post.
38. Brian 06.25.04 / 8pm
    Can you post the technical details of how someone would go about writing their own version of GTray or Pop Goes the Gmail ? That way, we can improve upon what you have already done. No need to post full source, maybe snippets. We are all here to learn. Thanks!
    
    p.s Great Program!
39. Exander 06.25.04 / 4pm
    How do I uninstall it?
    
    Thanks,
    x
40. Jeff 06.25.04 / 3pm
    Ares,
    
    If you still have those 2 invites I’d love to try out GMail and see if it’s as great as everyone says! Thanks!
    
    Jeff
41. Bonus 06.25.04 / 2pm
    Gtray don’t open the default browser, it call IE when my default browser is firefox.
42. Ares 06.25.04 / 11am
    did you ever get an account? I have a few invites left if anyone wants one
43. Matt 06.25.04 / 6am
    Oops, you seem to have covered the first 2 point in the FAQ.
    
    I’ll shut up now then.
44. Matt 06.25.04 / 6am
    Thanks for the program.
    
    Unfortunately, I get the error message
    
    “Error, failed to encrypt data, error code 87.
    Your passsword will not be stored in the registry, but you will be prompted for it once at startup”
    
    every time I start. (on Windows 2000 with latest security updates etc.)
    
    Also I would appreciate using the current default browser (FireFox) to open the http://gmail.google.com/gmail
    page. (GMail can log on automatically in FireFox as it just checks your cookie.)
    
    Finally, it would be nice to display the number of unread emails on the tray icon itself.
    
    Anyway, thanks for the program again!
45. Firace 06.25.04 / 3am
    Hi,
    I don’t know how difficult this would be to implement, but how about adding mailto: support?
    In other words, you would get a Gmail compose window (with the To and Subject fields automatically filled in) when clicking on an email link?
46. Gina 06.25.04 / 1am
    Thanks for the tips. Perhaps the problem is that I’m using Windows 98. I’m in the OS dark ages, still.
47. dj-anakin 06.24.04 / 9pm
    love this thing.
    
    just fix the stealing focus thing and your golden! ive been spreading this link to everyone!
48. Elias 06.24.04 / 8pm
    A common asked problem is GTray not notifying of new mail:
    
    1. Update to the latest version (just download it again when in doubt)
    2. Make sure your balloon tooltips are not disabled (http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/23764/23764.html) in Windows XP
49. James 06.24.04 / 3pm
    It would be great if the tray icon would change whenever there is email. That way, when you come back to your machine after being away for a little bit you can quickly see that you have mail.
50. pagal 06.24.04 / 1pm
    what about releasing the source code so that if you can’t update it, someone else will?
    
    1) open with the default browser.
    2) make the right click menu faster.
51. Gina 06.24.04 / 1pm
    Sorry about double posting earlier. I was half asleep and didn’t realize my first comment got posted. I’m not annoying pr0g happy kiddie, I promse you. Anyway, I fixed the problem and all is well with that.
    
    Though notifications don’t seem to be working for me. My firewall is configured to allow GTray to work but when it checks mail nothing happens. The hover says “Checking mail…” then about a minute later reverts back to “GTray.” Nothing. No notification, though I do have unread email in my inbox. Reading the previous comments and several threads I realize that most people aren’t having this problem, which perplexes me. Any help would be appreciate, as I do think this program is much needed and useful.
    
    Thanks.
52. Gina 06.24.04 / 12pm
    Alas, I too get an error page. httpS://gmail.google.com gives me a DNS error.
    
    Is there a way to remedy this? I’d really like to use this program.
53. Gina 06.24.04 / 12pm
    Alas, I too get an error page. httpS://gmail.google.com gives me a DNS error.

54. Gonzonia 06.24.04 / 11am
    Just count me as a vote for default browser support!
55. Wolfgang Kaiser 06.24.04 / 8am
    Post ist da
56. Sam P 06.24.04 / 6am
    yeah, while its checking it sets itself as always on top, so if you are typing in ms word it stops, then once e-mail checked ms word is back on top and typing begins again.
    
    pretty annoying, please can you fix this.
    
    great program though
57. John 06.24.04 / 5am
    I’m having a problem with Gtray stealing the focus of whatever window I’m in so it can check gmail. Anyone else experiencing this?
58. Jimmy 06.24.04 / 1am
    any plan to add voice notification for Gtray?
    
    i think it is very important for email checking…
    
    thanks.
59. mindphasr 06.23.04 / 10pm
    Great program. Makes my time monitoring more than one gmail account easier. Leaving one open in firefox tab and having this keep an eye on the other one. Excellent!
60. inge 06.23.04 / 9pm
    > 1. GTray seems to steal focus momentarily when it is about to show the balloon. Not a huge problem but when I am typing I miss a few characters. Mildly annoying.
    
    yes, this is very annoying to me, especially when i’m playing games – gtray steals the focus and dumps me back to the desktop. fine app elsewise!
61. Kujila 06.23.04 / 8pm
    Yeah, I would say a trillian plugin would be AWESOME! Other than than, I can’t get any notification balloons from Gtray
    
    …also, I don’t use Internet Explorer, I use Mozilla, so it would be nice to see some support for that.
62. Tom B 06.23.04 / 8pm
    any chance of it being made as a trillian plugin?
63. james 06.23.04 / 7pm
    Yes, please include the default browser because I use firefox not IE.
64. quiiver 06.23.04 / 4pm
    default browser would make this a winner in my book as well.
    
    great program though.
65. Shannon 06.23.04 / 12pm
    I’d love to try it, but the download link seems to be broken.
66. Max 06.23.04 / 5am
    Thanks for your program. =)
    But could you suggest – what i can do with this error
    “Failed to encript password data, error code 87.”?
67. George Deka 06.22.04 / 11pm
    Is it possible to have the sourcecode please, i want to make a linux version.
68. Stephanie 06.22.04 / 10pm
    This is an awesome program. It was very nice of you to share it with the world! Kudo’s to you!
69. Adam Bramwell 06.22.04 / 9pm
    I’m seconding Rhyder’s suggestion for the app to use the default browser for it’s bidness? That’d be great. nice app and thanks!
70. Mark 06.22.04 / 3pm
    Hi, It seems that login details are saved when you exit gtray. I think it would be better if login details are not saved on exit so that nobody could open your gmail account. So that everytime you run it, it will require you to enter login detials. Or perhaps, have a “remember login details” option. Hope it will be on the next realease.
    
    Thanks! Great Tool!
    Mark
71. killer 06.22.04 / 3pm
    so good !!!
72. Magus 06.22.04 / 12pm
    >> have you found in gmail if there is a way to change the send messages to have the sender info as another email address than gmail.com?
    
    Can’t be done.
73. stephen 06.22.04 / 11am
    nice and fast well done…hope it stays fast i assume it will slow down a little when gmail goes public…
74. hey 06.22.04 / 2am
    hey, great program.
    
    so, when you have all your email forward to gmail, do you use your gmail address as the one you give out? or do you have another email address that people email to as your main? and if that’s the case, have you found in gmail if there is a way to change the send messages to have the sender info as another email address than gmail.com? i found how you can change the reply address, but still the info that people receive is the gmail.com email address.
    
    let me know if you found out how to do this.
    
    thanks.
75. Magus 06.22.04 / 12am
    Whoops, didn’t notice the comments were reverse date order
76. Magus 06.21.04 / 11pm
    Any update on if you can release source or not?
77. Vasanth 06.21.04 / 8pm
    First of all cool tool. Just what I needed. Check out my blog post at: http://www.vasanthdharmaraj.com/PermaLink,guid,2bec0b60-8d79-43e3-a4f7-a50e949e2f63.aspx
    
    Second a couple of minor issues.
    1. GTray seems to steal focus momentarily when it is about to show the balloon. Not a huge problem but when I am typing I miss a few characters. Mildly annoying.
    2. The second is that it show the count as 50 even if there are more mails. I assume it parses only the mails in the first page where a maximum of 50 are shown.
    
    Maybe you can look into this if you have the time.
    
    Thanks for the cool tool.
78. SP 06.21.04 / 7pm
    hey awesome tool..one comment though…can you please update it so it does not take the FOCUS when checking email…whenever i play games i have to close Gtray completely
    
    thanks
79. Kant 06.21.04 / 6pm
    I am surprised that you used the code from Code Project articles but didn’t mention about this tool at that site.
    
    Well, anyway I posted about this tool at Code Project lounge. http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp
    
    BTW, Cool tool.
80. chuck 06.21.04 / 5pm
    I can’t believe someone actually download your app and sell it on ebay!
81. ben 06.21.04 / 4pm
    gtray, quite simply brilliant.
82. Anonymous 06.21.04 / 3pm
    When I try to download and open it my Winzip tells me its not a valid archive. I tried Open and Save As and it still won’t. Is this an issue or your side or is it my Winzip?

    AWESOME man… Really! an amazing job! nice, simple, fast, easy to use… Two FAT THUMBS UP!
    
    
    Only… is there a way future release (if any) could use the DEFAULT browser, not forcing to use ie..!!?!
    
    Keep on the good work m8!

85. damaco 06.21.04 / 4am
    I’m a Japanese Gmail user, and tried using this program. It works fine on my XP, but does not work on my Win2k… Is anybody getting the same problem??
    Anyway this is a great tool, thanks Elias!!
86. amir 06.21.04 / 4am
    hi
87. Cymen Vig 06.20.04 / 10pm
    Another vote for using the default browser. I don’t need the login/password entered by GTray since my browser can store that information.
88. Dyuti 06.20.04 / 12pm
    I also hate hotmail, I think it is S-L-O-W, doesn’t work well in non-microsoft browsers and offers a skimpy 2 MB space.
    
    Getting a new Gmail account can be little tricky, since they are disseminated stricly by invitation. However, you wanna trade-in something, you might try http://www.gmailswap.com/ . Meanwhile, two other services http://www.spymac.com and http://www.rediffmail.com is offering 1 GB space as well.
    
    My suggestion is open an Y! account ( http://mail.yahoo.com ). I have stuck with my Y! address for last 6 years and it served me well. The web-interface is neat, fast and boasts the best web-best spam-blocker. They will give you a 100 MB to boot, which might be enough for you. If you want to access Y! from your favorite mail-client (Outlook/Eudora etc.) check out the open-source program YahooPops ( http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/ ) ?
89. DisTuRBeD 06.20.04 / 11am
    Hi Guys , can anybody mail me how you can get a GMail account ,please , i wanna get rid of Hotmail !!
    To : Limpellica@hotmail.com
    
    Thanks a lot
90. Joe 06.20.04 / 7am
    This would rule if it ran on Firefox (or any default browser) and could check multiple accounts.
91. clojita 06.20.04 / 6am
    Clearly there are lots of requests for this, but I thought one more couldnt hurt, PLEASE PLEASE make it support FireFox.
92. Dyuti 06.20.04 / 3am
    Hi Elias,
    
    For uploading your existing mailbox information to GMail, have you tried “Mbox & Maildir to Gmail Loader” (http://www.marklyon.org/gmail/)?
93. jamie 06.20.04 / 2am
    Great program! You’re a genius. I love you. Marry me. K not really, but thanks it’s a wonderful program.
94. Nick Horvath 06.20.04 / 12am
    It would be great if the “Open” command opened in the default browser instead of IE (I use firefox).
95. Graham 06.19.04 / 10pm
    Nice prog — but I don’t have IE (and never will)
96. Matt 06.19.04 / 9pm
    Great program, but I, too, use Firefox (Mozilla), and can’t tolerate using IE. I’ll be keeping my eye out in case you change your mind and put out a version that can use other browsers. Thanks!
97. Jay 06.19.04 / 7pm
    Hey guy, like the idea of you application, thank you for creating it!
    
    I discovered that you are sensitive to PasswordSpy and though you might like to know. I just tested this June 19, 2004…
    BFD IMHO

    This is the nicest app for Gmail I’ve seen. Thank you.
    
    Would it be possible to edit it to work as a plug-in TRILLIAN? Please pretty please?
100. Rajan Urs 06.19.04 / 1pm
     Ok all you Gmail Dummies, Use Gmail to send the little Gtray to your friends and other contacts and forget about the slashdot effect.

103. Shadow 06.19.04 / 1pm
     What I don’t like about gtray is that when it checks for new mail, the current active application loses focus and after the check completes it regains focus.
     Anyway, thanks for this nice app.

     I’ll add that to the About box and you are right. The mirror is not updated. Anyone would like to mirror? In the meantime, people: just download from this site.
106. Chris Harriman 06.19.04 / 11am
     Hi,
     
     I know everybody’s struggling to get their first Gmail account, but how long will this software remain useful unless you allow the ability to have Gtray check more than one account?

     The file located at http://botheration.org/misc/gtray2-beta.zip (1.0.0.1) seems to have a lower version number than the one at http://torrez.us/archives/2004/05/23/gtray.zip (2.0.0.1)
     
     And the “about” box doesn’t display any version info (which you may want to include so people know which version they have, just a suggestion). Which one is really the most current?
108. Tomas 06.19.04 / 10am
     It would have been great if it just used the default browser. Sadly, now it’s just useless, for me.

     Maybe you would be interested in my Google Mail mailto: setup. So IE opens Google Mail when you click on a mailto: type link in a browser.
116. Elias 06.18.04 / 4pm
     I fixed the bug that mail checking was not working. Gmail updated their mail frame structures, so I was failing to get a good count. Please update from the normal link to download. Thanks.
117. Roy 06.18.04 / 3pm
     If anyone would invite me to also join Gmail?
     It would be greatly appreciated!

     It is still a great program, and I’m sure there are many people out there who would enjoy helping you in any way possible. This is a great program, and could go into a wider stream of users.
119. Paul W 06.18.04 / 9am
     I tried GTray on Win Xp and I don’t seem to be seeing any activity in the tray. No notifications. Is that right?
120. Elias 06.18.04 / 12am
     First thing is that I want to let you know that GTray has been getting a great response from all over the world and I’m delighted to hear it’s serving a purpose to a few individuals. This is great, a couple of days work is making more than a few people’s lives easier. That’s the whole goal of Software Development. BTW, I’ve noticed that GTray mail checking have stopped working, I’m looking into it and will make sure I adapt to possible changes to GMail in the past week or so.
     
     To Everyone asking for Mozilla/Default Browsers/Etc:
     
     The technologies I made use of to code this project so quickly in practical way tie me directly to the IE browser, it’s not a matter of just “looking” up the default browser or coding it for Mozilla, it basically turns into a whole separate application, for which I may not have more time at this point. Several have approached and asked me how I did GTray and I’m willing to advise and share knowledge for anyone implementing an alternate version, but at this point I’m not investing time on that feature.
     
     To Everyone asking about Open Source/Source Code:
     
     I need to double check with my employer for opening source, since that it’s core business, in a few words, this is a very delicate issue, since I’m not completely free do write anything want for whoever I want.
     
     Anthony:
     
     This program is moderately secure for a webmail application. Your password is not easily accessible via the UI (PasswordSpy, etc), it’s also not easily decoded from the registry since I’m using the crypto stuff to encoded, and when communicating to Gmail I’m using the SSL encrypted URL. I’ve taken all the basic steps toward security, but nothing in this world is hackproof, so no guarantees, but I would confidently say, don’t worry too much about this one app, there are worse in your system (IE is more vulnerable on its own for example).
     
     Mr. Timmer,
     
     I’m definitely not a graphic artist, but I’d also say GTray is only temporary until Google does me better. I’ll maintain a few things and there, but I don’t want to devote too much time to this project.
     
     Cheers,
     
     Elias
121. Mr.Timmer 06.17.04 / 11pm
     You should use some graphic skills and create a style wise theme. Just adds to the effect, its already a easy-to-use GUI. But a theme or mabey skins my make it nice to use. Photoshop is the way.
122. Martin 06.17.04 / 6pm
     We want the Source Code!
     
     Very useful Elias, have you considered making it Open Source?
123. Anthony 06.17.04 / 3pm
     it is secure? can someone catch my email and password?
124. Dylan 06.17.04 / 10am
     Is it possible to release the source? Intergrating this with Mozilla firebird would be really neat.

127. Gary Giesen 06.16.04 / 7am
     Would it be possible to add support for multiple gmail accounts?
128. Trevor 06.15.04 / 11pm
     Yeah, Mozilla access would be nice and dandy, but I really have no idea of how difficult that would be to code.
     
     IE works fine enough, though. Still, I’m sure there are people out there who would rather drown in their own blood than use IE for anything.
129. jeff 06.14.04 / 7pm
     Good stuff. Only a couple of comments: The suggestion to change the color when mail is waiting is great. Also, I thing gtray is stealing the focus of the foreground app when it checks mail. This is a little distracting when you are typing it hangs for a couple seconds.
     Anyway, keep up the good work.

137. brucet 05.29.04 / 12am
     This is great, thanks a lot!
     
     One thing that would be nice is if the icon changed somehow when there was unread mail (just a different colour would suffice), or if there was an option for the notification baoloon to stay up until you clicked on it.
     
     As it is, when I come back to the computer after being away, I have to float my mouse over the icon to see whether there’s mail.
     
     Thanks again!

     I keep getting 404 errors everytime I click the link… what gives?
     
     I think (hope?) that an e-mail checker will be implemented into the googlebar. How could it not? They’d be idiots not to couple the two… it just wouldn’t make any sense.
141. frad 05.27.04 / 8am
     Elias, Awsome program. We appreciate your hard work. IT would be cool if you could start some sort of mailing list that keeps us informed of new releases and such.
     
     I am looking forward to seeing where this project goes. Thanks.
142. Cracell 05.27.04 / 1am
     actually summer is only 4 days away once school’s out i m gonna code like crazy, so if he/she hasn’t got it to go with default browser, i’ll snap together a vb .net gmail checker, mabye I can even force myself to make it a toolbar for ie and firefox (i’m not fond of toolbars) but that’s wut everyone wants is it implemented into the google toolbar, so why not make a mini toolbar? (note I have no knownledge or experience of making toolbars for firefox, it might not be to hard, and it might be, lol)
143. Cracell 05.27.04 / 1am
     yes, depends on how he/she coded it, but it’s possible
     
     i think it’s made on .net so then it’s definatly doable
144. Thomas Caffrey 05.25.04 / 4pm
     I love it, just wish somehow Goggle would build one into their ToolBar that would check for new mail automatically.
     
     PS, I posted a link to GTray in my WebLog
145. tom 05.25.04 / 11am
     yeah, so it’s like this. if you want to maintain a browser email session, just use mozilla or firefox. open your tab and go on with your day.

146. CarLBanks 05.24.04 / 3pm
     Ahh well it’s fine still then. Atleast Gmail doesn’t have popups.
     
     I posted a link to Gtray on my site.
147. Elias 05.24.04 / 10am
     Not easily. GTray is not only about opening the browser, but inspecting the DOM of the GMail login page. I also use other functions to figure out which domain is open in your browser windows, etc, etc.
148. CarLBanks 05.24.04 / 9am
     Is it possible to have it open windows in Mozilla Firefox or basically check the user’s default browser?
149. Sam P 06.29.04 / 4am
     gtray makes click sounds when it is checking mail as it automatically enters your username and pass in the forms, but without us seeing it, it would be good if you could remove the sound of the windows click sound and fix the focus bug.
     
     please release the code so that people can fix these bugs so we can all benefit by having a better gtray!
150. Carl 06.29.04 / 8am
     Thank you Elias for a wonderful program. You absolutely should not open the source code, this is your program, you developed it and we don’t need maniacs tinkering with the code. Frankly I am embarrassed by some of the ungrateful people who have posted their comments.
     
     I have used Firefox (Firebird) for a long time. Gmail has never worked correctly with Firefox which has NOTHING to do with Gtray! Sometimes Firefox will open Gmail and sometimes it will not open, in addition if the sidebar is implemented in Firefox, Gmail will sometimes place ads over your message depending on the formatting of the message. Again this has nothing to do with Gtray. Gmail works perfectly with IE and so does Gtray and it was just silly for people to have complain about Gtray not supporting Firefox. What possible difference did it make that Gtray opened Gmail in IE?
     
     However now that Gtray does support Firefox, I have a problem since Firefox is my default browser, Gtray opens Firefox and I have the aforementioned problems with Gmail and Firefox. I saved Gtray version 2.0.0.1 and have reverted back to that version since it automatically opens Gmail in IE, Gmail is thus displayed properly and I can still keep Firefox as my default browser.
     
     Again, thank you Elias for a wonderful program.

156. maxyvits 06.29.04 / 2pm
     Yes, please fix the focus issue. In my opinion, that’s the only thing wrong with gtray. It’s an amazing little utility otherwise. Perhaps have it working in the background or something. Ugh, please fix this!

163. pepe 06.30.04 / 3am
     Is it possible to have Gtray play a sound (preferably a custom sound) when new gmail arrives?
164. pepe 06.30.04 / 3am
     Anyway to get rid of the clicking sound as it checks email every minute? Is it a setting in windows i can turn off until Gtray gets rid of it/
165. Valkyr 06.30.04 / 4am
     Yes you can pepe, in the control panel choose sound options, then look for the the same sound you hear when he is refresing and disable it (it is in the exlorerr section) , the names might nit be correct because I dont have an englisch version

     Are you aware that gtray seems to keep your screensaver from coming on while it is running?
175. maxyvits 06.30.04 / 8pm
     What’s so great about these previous versions?
176. Doovman 06.30.04 / 11pm
     I think Google might have done something to stop Gtray from working. I had it set to automaticaly update (which didn’t work), then I tried to check it manually and I had to enter the letters I saw in a picture before I could get in. Those are normally used to prevent automated systems from acessing things.
177. Minitch 07.01.04 / 2am
     Great Program, a few issues that need to be fixed:
     1. Gtray doesn’t register any more then 50 new messages (basicially only emails on the first page in inbox)
     2. Gtray makes clicking noises when checking emails and removes focus This is really annoying
     3. Would it be possible in the future for Gtray to check for mails that are Labeled/filtered?
     Thankyou

180. Chris 07.01.04 / 12pm
     I agree that the focus issue is the single major flaw in the program, everything else is more feature requests than bug fixes.
     For example if you play a computer game that uses DirectX full screen (i.e. at least 75% of games out there) the game will minimize whenever GTray connects to google.
     It’s a pain to remember to switch GTray off before you start playinga game.

     Yes, if you don’t mind, please release the source if you don’t wish to develop it so that others can perfect it.
188. Sam P 07.02.04 / 8am
     could you add a hyperlink to your site rather than a textbox in the about section in the tray icon, so people can click on it and get straight here.
     
     also did you fix the focus issue in this latest 2.0.0.7 version ?
189. Sam P 07.02.04 / 8am
     oops, no the focus issue hasnt been fixed, noticed it while typing this message. have you fixed the sound clicks in this version ?
     
     maybe a changlog section would be good in the program, so you know exactly what has been changed in the program.
     
     hope you will release the code to someone who can help you with the focus issue. think it might just be the “always on top” in visual basic.net or whatever .net program you used.
     
     hope you can fix it, cos when you are playing games in fullscreen like need for sppeed underground it minises the game and brings you back to windows, which is VERY annoying.
190. maxyvits 07.02.04 / 9am
     Yes, I can vouch for the minimization of games issue. But also extremely annoying is the focus issue when writing documents. If that’s one’s trade, as it is mine, it can be very jarring. For me this is the single most problematic issue with gtray. One of the reasons I don’t use it all of the time.
191. A Fan 07.02.04 / 2pm
     I updated today (7/2). Double-clicking the icon used to open the GMail Inbox. Now it only takes me to the login screen and I have to log in manually. What happened?
192. Corey 07.02.04 / 4pm
     You’re program is great, BUT the focus issue makes it almost unususable on a practical basis.
     
     I’d highly recommend seeking assistance from the GMail community (which is very big) or
     finding a way to fix the bug yourself. Thanks for your contribution!
193. maxyvits 07.02.04 / 5pm
     Is the programmer even around on this, his own blog?
194. Matt 07.02.04 / 5pm
     The login problem was in the last version too. It works in 2.0.3. I’m sticking with this one until everything is fixed (focus, etc).
195. Vladimir 07.02.04 / 8pm
     It’s a pity the focus issue hasn’t been fixed. This is something that makes me refreain from using the program and recommending it to others… Will wait for the next version.

210. Mike 07.05.04 / 5am
     Pretty good except the checking for emails is a bit slow
211. Adrian 07.05.04 / 5am
     What happens when your default browser is not supported by gmail, for example OPERA.? Is there
     any way to force gtray to open the gmail browser window with IE?
212. fourte3n 07.05.04 / 6am
     Have you thought of making this a plugin for Trillian? it would be a great hit.
213. Vipin 07.05.04 / 12pm
     Want all other emails to stop except – “Gmail”
214. Corey 07.05.04 / 1pm
     The focus bug still exists.
215. larry 07.05.04 / 4pm
     The sound works on the newest version on mine, but the icon no longer changes to the mail “m” — i loved that feature, any way to make that work again?
216. Greg 07.06.04 / 2am
     Great thing! I really like it.
     Please check if there’s already running copy of GTray before starting a new one
217. Jeff 07.06.04 / 11am
     It seems to have issues with bringing up FFox from scratch when a proxy is required. Don’t have a lot of detail on that.
     Also, it gives me a security error when entering my password in the dialog:
     Failed to encrypt password data, error code 87. Thoughts?
218. Chestah 07.06.04 / 5pm
     everyone, go to this site here, it is a gtray equilivent with contact import features + more! (no annoying focus issue!!!!!) http://johnvey.com/features/gmailapi/
219. Chestah 07.06.04 / 8pm
     I hope Elias does fix up Gtray tho, because your program doesn’t require .net runtimes and its very simple, all that i need! Quickly Elias, fix the problems! and i’ll come back to Gtray
220. shadymg 07.07.04 / 12am
     Gtray equivalent my ass. Elias, please don’t stop developing your FANTASTIC lil program. I tried the API one, and it doesn’t compete with yours.
     
     Thanks for all your work!!!
221. Colin McDonald 07.07.04 / 1am
     First off-nice app, thanks alot!
     Correct me if I’m wrong, but the way this app works is via running a “secret” IE window that loads GMail up and parses the content right? Because I’m pretty sure when I click on the Balloon notifier that this IE windows is being displayed (I use Firefox so I know its not the proper behavior like when I click on the icon not the balloon)
     
     What happened was I clicked on the baloon, then was typing out a long reply but then all of a sudden the page refreshed and the inbox came up, destroying my partial message. Basically, I think theres a bug where clicking on the balloon opens up your invisible IE process, which shouldn’t happen and causes bugs.
     
     E-mail me if you want more extensive info or whatever.
222. Shadymg 07.07.04 / 11am
     I do miss my read M icon when i have mail tho (it used to be there, unless i’m hallucinating) ? other than that, GTray’s almost perfect!!
     
     Thanks elias!
223. Kmos 07.07.04 / 1pm
     Hi! How about create GTray to work in Win/Linux !? I think it’s a good idea.. think about that! =)
224. David Kornahrens 07.07.04 / 2pm
     Yes, Hotmail with their small allocated file sizes, and their little limits. Gmail by Google.com is simply better and everyone knows it. Be prepared for MSN to release something free and large such as google to stay in contention. I believe Google should make their own chat client!
225. Chestah 07.08.04 / 4am
     yeah i do like ur program better then that API one, its just that focus bug, its really really annoying, all u need to do is get rid of that, bring the icon back, remove the clicking noises and then it will be perfect
226. Chestah 07.08.04 / 4am
     argh damn it, i can’t decide which one i like better lol
227. Sam P 07.08.04 / 7am
     gone over to the api one now due to the focus bug, you should share you code like the programmer of the other program as i only want the program to check for e-mail not to change contact lists and stuff, his uses 30mb or ram, your used a little less, but until or even if the focus bug is fixed im gunna be using that program !
228. Sam P 07.08.04 / 9am
     wohooooo, elias sent me the 2.0.0.15 beta version, the focus issue is fixed finally !:) and only 1 click when the inbox loads instead of 3 or 4 clicks. it would be good if you could have a tooltip like on the api program to say the message title and the beginning of the message and sender like the other program so you know whether you need to open it right away e.g an urgent e-mail.
     
     keep up the good bug fixing ! once all bugs are fixed then add some new feautures, but a bug free version would be great.
229. Sam P 07.08.04 / 9am
     forgot to add, this program uses only 8mb of ram, the api program uses 30mb, now i can finally use this as i had to stop due to the focus issue was more than annoying !
230. Sam P 07.08.04 / 9am
     sorry, but forgot to add that it now plays the outlook express or it myight be the default e-mail sound, would be good if there was an option to turn this off !
     
     also 1 bug found – when you click on the tray icon it asks you to log in, even when you check the checkbox to remember you for 2 weeks, done this twice in the past 10 mins when checking e-mail. if you fix this and add an option to turn notification sound on and off then will be ready to release !
231. Jeremy M 07.08.04 / 1pm
     I’m using version 2.0.0.13 with Windows XP Pro and I’m not getting balloon notifications when there are unread messages in my Gmail inbox. I’ve double checked my account settings, and I know my balloon tips are turned on. (I get balloons from other taskbar items.) Any suggestions?
232. Alex 07.08.04 / 5pm
     this is a great tool, although it checks my gmail when i click “check now” but doesnt seem to at the set time intervals ???
233. Alex 07.08.04 / 6pm
     ok, seems to be working now
234. Chestah 07.08.04 / 8pm
     hey, where did u guys get the new gmail updates, the 2.0.0.15 beta version?? i can’t wait to get this, if the focus bug is fixed this program is definitly the best checker online , can someone please tell me where i can download it, thanks!
235. Chestah 07.08.04 / 8pm
     or can someone email it to me please chestah007 < @>> hotmail.com (don’t want no spam in my gmail lol)
236. Chestah 07.08.04 / 8pm
     thank you so much Elias thanks for making such a good program now that the focus bug is fixed your program really doesn’t have anymore bugs, just requests
237. Marc Orchant 07.09.04 / 12pm
     Please post the .15 beta version as oon as you can. I love this little app but the focus switching is making me crazy! ;^)
238. A Fan 07.09.04 / 5pm
     2.0.0.12 goes directly to the inbox if I use “Open” right after it checks mail. If I close the window, and then use “open” again, it opens the login screen.
     2.0.0.15 takes me to the login screen, no matter what.
239. The Oracle 07.09.04 / 6pm
     Why in the world would Elias provide the option to turn off the default e-mail sound in Gtray? This is a basic windows option. Simply open control panel > sounds, speech, audio devices > sound and audio devices and turn it off yourself. Many people like an audio e-mail sound, some of even use a custom wav for our e-mail sound.
     
     < <<
     also 1 bug found – when you click on the tray icon it asks you to log in, even when you check the checkbox to remember you for 2 weeks, done this twice in the past 10 mins when checking e-mail. if you fix this and add an option to turn notification sound on and off then will be ready to release !>>>
240. Sam P 07.09.04 / 6pm
     an option to switch off the sound would mean that you could just have outlook express or another e-mail program to play the sound, so you know if you have new mail in your pop3. if you want it for gtray then an option for a checkbox would allow us to choose.
241. The Oracle 07.09.04 / 7pm
     Ok whatever. I am just glad that Elias has been nice enough to create this program for free! Give the man a break and let him do his work at his own pace. By the way Elias 2.0.0.15 seems to work fine except the balloon says that I have 600 unread messages (lol) which in not correct. I know that you will fix it when you can, no hurry. Thank you.
242. ciscokid 07.09.04 / 7pm
     gtray doesnt seem to check my account at the time intervals i set? does it have to be set over a certain time ie, every 10mins at least?
243. Chestah 07.09.04 / 10pm
     Jeremy, i’ve tried sending the latest version of gtray to your gmail account, however it hasn’t been working, can u please contact me again and we can arrange to send it again or try msn messenger or sumthing, sorry i’ve tried in both hotmail and gmail
244. Chestah 07.09.04 / 10pm
     2.0.0.15 rules no bugs found so far, thanks Elias
245. shadymg 07.09.04 / 11pm
     i tried to post in google but it wasn’t workin, .16 still shows 900 Unread messages for me when there are none
246. Chestah 07.10.04 / 1am
     theres a 2.0.0.16 version out? lol where do u guys find this out, i only found out there was a 2.0.0.15 version out yesterday and i only just found a bug then, when u get up to like 20-30 plus emails it has an error saying that there is one more then there is in the inbox, can someone tell me where i can download the latest .16 version thanks
247. Chestah 07.10.04 / 1am
     is there a google group or sumthing???
248. Chestah 07.10.04 / 1am
     hmmm wait a sec, it wouldn’t happen to be the link up the top saying betta testing, since when has that been there lol stupid me!
249. Chestah 07.10.04 / 1am
     btw theres a bug in the new version = 2.0.0.16 Elias, it says i have 100 messages all the time lol, no hurry to get it fixed, i can use 2.0.0.15,
250. George 07.10.04 / 2am
     Honestly, this is getting better with each version.
     Just wishing for an earlier option to come back. It was nice when I had an option to open
     the mail in a new window rather than use a window at random
     Another thing I’d like to point out is that in an earlier version, the tray icon used to change if I had new mail. It disappeared in 0.12, came back in 0.15 and is again gone in 0.16… any specific
     reason?
251. Sam P 07.10.04 / 2am
     version 16 works great for me ! havent tested the sound yet, shows that i have 1 email when i do have 1 email unlike 100 emails that some people have been getting, it looks for the password saved cookie, so logins me right in. all you need to do now is fix the 100 messages and more thing then this is then ready. then we can start on adding the tooltip of the message like on the api program, but a bug free of the current version is nearly here. wohoo !!!
     
     keep up the good work !
252. Sam P 07.10.04 / 2am
     one thing though, like george said, there should be an option in the right click of the tray icon to “open in new window” and when you double click on the tray icon it should by default open your inbox in a new window, its a bit annoying when it goes to your inbox when you are looking on a site, especially if you are writing something as you will prob loose all of that when you click back. just thing and the 100’s of e-mails bug to fix and its ready !
253. Sam P 07.10.04 / 2am
     a final thing once these bugs are fixed, updating the scrren shots and theinfo on how to do things would be good for beginners and deleting these comments and starting from clean would be good, cos it takes a while to load 250 messages as the first ones have had their bugs fixed, just the last 10 posts need keeping really.
     
     your doing a top job !
254. Anonymous 07.10.04 / 2am
     I downloaded .16 and the only problem I’ve had so far is that it seems to open the login page instead of automatically entering my username and password in firefox if I click the baloon or the icon… now with firefox as my default browser it’s really annoying to login everytime… am I doing something wrong or is it the app?
     another thing, I like the fact that it checks new messages in all labels instead of just the Inbox… but I would like it if there was an option to check new messages in the Inbox…
255. Chestah 07.10.04 / 4am
     lol Anonymous! That feature would be good, but is probably a long time off! in the latest version 2.0.0.16, the only problem i have is that it comes up i have 100 new messages every time it checks no matter if i hav any or less then that amount of new emails!!! i tried going back to 2.0.0.15 but its doing this now lol, o well please get this fixed as soon as u have some spare time Elias thanks!!
256. Frank van Hoesel 07.10.04 / 4am

     My defualt is firefox, and gtray always opne Iexplorer…
271. Elias 07.12.04 / 12pm
     GTray no longer logs you into GMail when opening the default browser. This is something I was only ever able to do in IE.
272. Elias 07.12.04 / 12pm
     A friend of mine (Lee) figured out the problem for IE opening instead
     of the default browser. Basically, it’s a bad registry setting by
     FireFox. I think I saw a post somewhere around that here before.
     
     Basically, if and only if you have FF as your default browser, you need to:
     
     - open an explorer window like to the C: drive.
     - Under Tools -> Folder Options
     - File Types
     - Choose: URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
     - Click on Advanced
     - Edit the ‘open’ Action
     - In the DDE section, if you have ‘Iexplore’, this is the problem. If
     the program points to something other than IE. If IE is open, it will
     be opened first.
     - Change that to ‘FIREFOX’
     - Repeat the same for URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy
     
     This worked for me, but again my disclaimer, is that you do this at
     your own risk and I can’t troubleshoot everyone’s machine. So please,
     everyone try to help everyone.
     
     Elias
273. Ted 07.12.04 / 1pm
     I thought you might like to see this diagnostic window I received on the first execution
     of GTray, but because I can’t add a screenshot attachement perhaps you are not interested
     after all.
274. Nolan W, 07.12.04 / 4pm
     Whenever GTray checks for mail, it takes the keyboard foxus away from whatever I’m working on. Is there any way to prevent that? Please and thanks,

276. Sam P 07.13.04 / 10am
     have you figured out how to open inbox in a new window yet mate, it would be much better for us rather than changing our current page we are browsing to the inbox, but apart from that i havent experienced any problems. so that an improve the tooltip like it is in the api program so you know who the e-mail is from and says the title of the email.
     
     keep up the good work mate !
     
     and you could do with trimming this blog too, just keep the last 50 messages as it takes a while to load, the beggining posts have all been read and those bugs fixed.
277. Apostol Apostolov 07.13.04 / 12pm
     Is it possible for Gtray to have an option to open Gmail website in IE or Mozilla rather than default browser – I am an Opera user who is unable to use the direct “click on icon” functionality because of the awkward (in this particular case) browser choice.
278. Dee 07.14.04 / 8pm

     Since first uning Gtray a few days ago everytime I reboot I have to

     Is there any chance that you could add a remember password checkbox
     that if checked would save an encrypted version of the password in
     something like an INI file?

     errr Yoda Oz, gtray checks at the time to specify for NEW EMAILS! what is your point?

     ey Elias? do u need any mirrors for Gtray? juts wondering chestah
296. Sam P 07.20.04 / 8am
     you need to check every few mins for new mails, it dosent have a constant connection looking for e-mail you have to specify a time in minutes.
297. Chestah 07.21.04 / 2am
     Sam P most people wouldn’t want this feature as it would lag their internet connection if it has a constant connection in place, this alone might not be possible to have this link up. Hotmail has this feature on msn because it has a set up direct connection as u have stated except this is made by microsoft. Gmail and Gtray aren’t made by the same people!

     I made gtray register gmail as the system mail application. Now when I click on a “mailto:” link it works fine, unless it has the subject specified. i.e. mailto:webmaster@asdf.com?subject=hello for some reason makes it pre-fill the address field with “webmaster@asdf.co”
     
     weird

Are there any signs that this will improve in the next time ? Because there are other programs that can do this ! Thanks alreaday, and if you are charging a small ammount of money ($5) i would like to pay !
303. Cat 07.27.04 / 10am
     You can use Mail Notifier for this. It always opens Gmail in a new window,

     awsome. Exactly what I was looking for ever since I got gmail, wonderful program. Google themselves should license this from you! One quick suggestion, is it possible to make the program open a new browser window when you click on the balloon or double click the icon? Sometimes I’m reading a website and then click it, and my page is gone It’s a minor moan though, kudos to you!

     Also, when you click on the mail icon, it doesn’t log you in automatically, it only takes you to the login screen, where you have to enter your username and password again.
     
     Is this an incompatibility bug with Windows 98 or is it a different thing? Will you fix this as well?
     
     Thank you.

     gmail rocks. a nice feature would be when you right-click on it in, a “compose mail” option that would take you directly to the compose mail page.
310. palisade 07.30.04 / 7pm
     GMail has been great for weeks, and all of a sudden STOPPED working. It still tells me when new mail is availble. But, now when I click the popup or try to double click the system tray icon it doesn’t open my browser.
     
     I recently had to uninstall/reinstall FireFox (mozilla), maybe this has caused the problem. Note: I attempted to delete all the gtray registry entries, still no go.

     If you have any concerns or problems about Gtray, please contact us about it in the Gtray google group >> http://groups-beta.google.com/group/gtray << This is the fastest way to get your problem solved. As me and other moderators (including the program creater) check this regulary throughout the day and will beable to help u there. Sorry, Chestah

     Are GTray and Mail Notifier (DynAdvance)against the Gmail TOS? I know that a Firefox extension that does something similar to this IS indeed against the TOS… If so, how likely is it to get caught/penalized?
     
     Also, if I set GTray to check for mail every 1 minute, will it slow down my comp/internet speeds? I’m on dialup (45k) btw…
     
     Thanks.

     maybe it could save a password, so each reboot doesn’t need a password
316. nemo33 08.03.04 / 2am
     I check by netstat
     GTry seems use normal http connection to chat with gmail server,
     it will be better if GTry apply https connection.

     Till one version it was working fine, but none of the last new ones is working here, when I double click the little icon, it doesn’t fill my user and pass automatically, it just opens the homepage. Can you pass me an older version?

     Hey I like the new features of the most recent version, but I miss the option to open GMail in its own window. Now it opens on an available IE window and often times messes up whatever I was working on. Good job though. Thanks!

     Eek! Everything was working great, but GTray seems to have stopped working in the last day.. I guess Google changed something? Please update as soon as you can, I can’t live without my GTray now!
329. Elias 08.07.04 / 4pm
     A few people have said the same already and I can’t seem to replicate it. GTray is working (2.0.0.17) for me, please make sure you update first then I’ll see if I noticed something else.

     Excellent program, but 2 obs:
     . It should be better to creat an option “open in a new windon”;
     . I’d like to change the sound of “New Message”… is it possible.
341. MNK [-_-] 08.12.04 / 9am
     I’ve tried several apps, like “Pop Goes the Gmail” or “eMail2POP”, but that one is definitly the best, slick and small, and very easy to use; Nice Job.
     The only point I’m not happy with is the look of the tray icon, for sure it’s the “G” from google, but it’s butt ugly, Gmail icon is an envelop with a red M on it…

349. Tal 08.18.04 / 1pm
     The only thing that is missing is GTray opening a NEW instance of IE, instead using one

     other than that – it’s perfect.

I love the “Tell me again” functionality of the Google Reminder utility – very handy if you’ve been away from the PC. If you could add something like that to GTray – that would be awesome.

     Error: Enter the letters as they are shown in the image above
     
     
     I hope you can solve this

378. Mastermnd 09.07.04 / 10am
     Very nice idea and very nice program , although when i close 3.0.0.1 beta a process is STILL active, and i can’t delete the EXE: that would need using the task manager. Moreover, automatic login isn’t working: why? i’m using opera, but have set gtray to open internet explorer and login automatically.
     
     Thanks again for this great tool.
379. Elias 09.07.04 / 10am
     It takes a little bit for the process to go away, I’ll speed that up. Also, automatic login has not been completed yet in IE.
380. john 09.07.04 / 11am
     When i start up my pc (win xp+ sp2) i get the message if i want to install gtray, and i have already installed it so i hope you will be able to solve this in a next version of Gtray.
381. SAul 09.13.04 / 3am
     I don’t know if you can help me with these issues, but here goes: 1. gtray is opening gmail
     in a current browser window instead of a new one. 2. It’s not logging on for me. Both of
     these occur in both 2.0.18 an the new BETA, but neither happened in an older version I had.
     A Friend of mine is also experiencing issue no. 1, but not no. 2. Thanks, cool program.

     GMAIL is blocking Gtray — it now requires a human to enter in blurry words to log in —
     Thereby rendering gtray USELESS??????
392. john 09.21.04 / 1am
     Is it possible to include a update-button or something, for checking if there is an update available for gtray, without checking this site frequently as i do now?
393. Scott 09.21.04 / 9am
     Everyone should chill. Gmail has blocked the auto-login features of gtray and other apps (though
     I have noticed this morning that auto-login is working) so you have to login manually for now
     I believe. If you read Elias’s comments he says “I wrote this for my personal use, but if you want it, you can have it. I’m just not responsible for anything this software does incorrectly to your system.”
     So I think we should all be happy that this app is around and stop critizing about it.
394. john 09.21.04 / 9am
     Scott, we ‘re not commenting on (i know i’m not)but we are making suggestions for improving Gtray it’s a wonderfull app and that’s why we are using it. We are thankfull to Elias for giving us this app.
     So we are not commenting but just trying to make the app work better (if possible)

395. Mutiny 09.21.04 / 2pm
     Im getting 10mb of memory usage with this app, rouhgly around the same amount of memory
     that the official gmail notifier app uses. I think this is excessive considering the
     simple nature of the program. Is anyone else getting the high memory usage? The high memory
     usage of the official program is a well known problem. Its why i tried this app in the
     first place. Apart from that however the app has great features and seems to work well
     enough, well done.

428. Allen 10.23.04 / 2pm
     The latest GTray beta seems to be having problems checking mail – when I get new email, sometimes it doesn’t notify me, and sometimes when it does notify me, it will not update the tray icon even if I have read them email and tell it to refresh.
     
     I’m using Windows XP Service Pack 2.
     
     It seemed to do this before updating to Service Pack 2, so I don’t think that is the problem.

     It is such a nice little program that I don’t want to give up.

433. Sid 11.11.04 / 8am
     I’ve noticed that recently, Google has added in a security image thing or something (“type the letters you see in the following image”). It also appears that GTray has stopped working. It may be a problem on my end (wrong password, whatever), but I think it has to do with google. As I understand, those security image things are pretty hard to crack. (They’re also pretty difficult for me to read sometimes.)
     Just thought I’d report this. Thanks for the great tool that works on WinME! (It’s the only/best one I could find that works on WinME )

     Just a suggestion i wanted to add >> Can you please make the new orange notifier in v3.0.0.3 show what email address got that
     email since I have many accounts and it is hard to guess what account an email came on
     
     Thanks

     Can you make a Ytray for Yahoo! I currently don’t have a gmail account and a feature for yahoo mail o
     would be very helpful.
436. Elias 11.24.04 / 7pm
     I’m not sure I have time to write one for Yahoo Mail, plus I’m sure there are a ton out there for Yahoo. Have you looked around?

     is there anyway that i can get a google mail
438. couger 11.27.04 / 12pm
     so are you gonna include that thing i suggested? Abot the name of the persons email address on which the email has come cause this helps when u have multipe accounts
439. Elias 11.27.04 / 10pm
     couger: Yes I will include what you suggested. It’s totally something that needs to be there.

     Hi Elias, I haven’t looked around for a yahoo tray…if you know any good sites, pls suggest
     me to any…thanks!
441. john 11.30.04 / 6pm
     Hello Elias for some time now Gtray isn’t working. It doesn’t notifie at all for incoming mail. I do not have that problem with other notifiers like the gmail helper itself. I hope you can solve that problem.
     Thanks very much, because Gtray is a good tool, much better dan google’s itself!!!
     I hope to hear from you soon about a new Gtray update.
     
     Greetings John

     Hi,
     I had a question – when GTray checks for email is that equivalent to me logging in to my gmail account and checkin mail?
     
     I wanted to know cause I have several gmail accounts and as we all know gmail accounts expire if you dont login for like 9 months or something, so if i use gtray is that the same as logging in myself?
448. Kátia Santos 01.01.05 / 8am
     Thank you! I’m loving Gtray! Now it’s possible administrate with more organization my two accounts Gmail: one with Notifier, other with Gtray.
449. Gary Giesen 01.01.05 / 6pm
     GTray 2.0.18 expired today (Jan 1st, 2005) and there’s no replacement/update for it
450. Gary Oldman 01.01.05 / 10pm
     Why do you find it necessary to put time bombs in your software? It’s not as if this is mission critical software that is constantly being revised.. either it works, or I come here and get the latest verstion and hope that you’ve updated it. When you create software, you cannot expect to shelter it like an overpossesive mother.
451. Elias 01.02.05 / 11pm
     Gary Oldman,
     
     The reason why I did that was because I was not sure how Gmail/Google would react to it. I’ll make an update w/o time bomb now, if people are still interested in GTray.
452. Allen 01.03.05 / 1am
     Yes… there are lots of us interested in Gtray! Thanks…
453. Anonymous 01.03.05 / 11am
     Yes, please make a new version!
454. Elias 01.03.05 / 2pm
     Done. A new version of GTray2 is now available.
455. Allen 01.05.05 / 12pm
     Thanks….
456. Gary Giesen 01.05.05 / 9pm
     There’s a bug in the new version where if I close the gmail window, Gtray opens a new gmail window. If I log out of gmail, it opens new gmail login windows repetitively until I close GTray
457. Charles 01.06.05 / 3am
     anybody can help me to register an account to gmail. please!!!!
458. Allen 01.08.05 / 2am
     The 2.0.19 is like 3.0.0.3… it doesn’t always check for new email…. It always works the first time, but it typically won’t check after that. Occasionally it does, but then it continues showing unread email until you close and restart it… 2.0.18 didn’t do that….
459. Paparazzi 01.08.05 / 3am
     Downloaded a beta version and I see it mentioned as 3.0.0.4 in the status bar. Has there
     been a version like that? If I click on “About”, nothing happens. Click on Refresh or
     Re-notify, nothing happens. What are they suppossed to do? And when and how is it
     suppossed to notify me of new mail, cause I never seem to get notified … I’ve got 8
     accounts added in my list (if it matters).

462. Alejandro Sanchez 01.13.05 / 10am
     I have downloaded the last version after the previous stoped working. With netscape as a default browser Gtray opens a infinite number of windows when I click on the icon, until the memory gives up and crash netscape. By the way, I do like your application…

472. robocop 02.19.05 / 6pm
     Your ‘toast’ notification in the beta is too slow in appearing and fading (I have a 700mhz computer with 256mb ram). There is a winamp plugin called ‘Toaster for Winamp’. You should base the new mail notification on that code because it seems to be more efficient. Also if you could add an option to change the toast options (such as background, border and text colours) that would be awesome.

     Using Maxthon browser, Win XP Pro SP2. Clicking tray icon causes Maxthon to begin opening multiple windows until Maxthon window limit is exceeded or GTray is closed. Very Very Very annoying.
482. adam 03.24.05 / 2am
     Can GTray support mailto registration?
     
     Well when it can email me or tell me in the guest book on my site if you cant see my

485. Adrian 04.15.05 / 6am
     Hello,
     
     I would just like to say this is an AWWSOME program!! I would figure your working on when you click on the arrived email (pops up in the ballon) that it will go to the correct email inbox… And when clicke don the “Red Envolope’ it will goto the default email inbox on gmail that you have set in Gtray? Post backon this please… i am currently using GTray Beta 3.0.0.3 on a WinXP Pro Corp Sp2 box… let me know whats going on…. BUT grrreaaat program..
     
     cheerz
486. Goblinboy 04.23.05 / 9pm
     Thanks this program is great it’s so much easier than trying to get hotmail to work with an email client!
487. - B@rney 05.03.05 / 9am
     Great App!
     Could use one minor adjustment. When having multiple accounts it would be nice to have a submenu on “Open”, “Compose” and “Search” with the accounts listed, so that I can go directly to that account… And, as other have commented, clicking on the mail notification could bring you to that mail message, in that account…
488. shields 05.15.05 / 7am
     I am using gtray and it’s been working great. Now, it seems stuck. It’s notifying me of an email I’ve already deleted. And it’s not noticing new emails. Any idea why? I am using Windows XP and it’s checking email with FireFox. Thanks!
489. shields 05.15.05 / 7am
     BTW — I am using the Beta version of GTRAY. Thanks.
490. me 06.07.05 / 6pm

     Have you considered releasing/doing a new version?
498. Nicholas Folts 07.26.05 / 2pm
     is it possible for you to release something that adds the email message notification in the welcome screen feature of this tool without having the tray icon or other features? It is absolutely wonderful by the way… but since it doesn’t work with Firefox, the only part I want is the welcome screen part…

     Hey this is a cool little notifier,
     have you tried xm2Rss?
     
     you can check it out at http://www.xmailharddrive.com/xm2Rss/
     
     it’s free and it’s cool,
     also supports multiple accounts that you can
     switch between, you can even customize the notification
     sound by dragging an .mp3 over it…
     
     check it out!
     good work though!
