I love Gmail but their notifier sucks!

Published on August 16, 2005 By greywar In Internet

Anyone else use Gmail notifier and find that it interfers with their keyboard? Whenever I have it on it seems to be sending keyboard interrupts causing the keyboard to miss keystrokes. Very irritating. (Of course I just turned it off)

i saw some similar issues.

Thats why I moved to using Object Docks mail notification (or just some other mail widget).

Gmail gives you POP3 access to you email account.

I have 50 invites to people interested.

I used to use it, but it got to be a pain in the rear for the reasons you mention. So, yes, I have noticed the same issue.

Don;t have any advice as to how to fix it - 'cept to delete it.

I'd suggest using a DesktopX widget instead of their notifier...

Hmmm... sort of amazing to me that a company like Google hasn't managed to fix this issue... I thought maybe I was the only one...

I haven't had a single problem with GMail notifier. Works like a charm.

I've been using GMail notifier for about 4 or 5 months. I haven't had the keystroke issue at all.
