I don’t have an icon in my panel either, I do get notifications though. I don’t see anything about gmail in the “add to panel” list either. Still, very nice app.

I was advised that this version requires that you Right-Click on a panel, choose Add to Panel, and then choose gm-notify.

Looks like an interesting app. Shall be playing with it.
However, /me recommends another similar app called checkgmail (http://checkgmail.sourceforge.net/). Available in the official Ubuntu repos. Written in perl.

I have only been a Linux user for a couple of years. Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.3 is based upon Ubuntu 9.04. It comes jam packed with dozens of applications, among other things. Whatever is compatible with 9.04 is compatible with UE2.3.

When I installed gm-notify.py, it did not install any icon in the System Tray or Notification Area. I could hear the sounds, see the Drop Down Box, but there was nothing to click on for launching Gmail.

I’m not sure what you mean by UE 2.3. Is it some other distribution of Linux ? I’ll have to admit, I haven’t tried this on any other distribution except for Ubuntu 9.04, but some of our other reader might be able to help you with your problem.

Silly question, but is the system tray applet of Gnome installed ?

I have UE2.3 64bit. I followed the instructions, Added the Source, Installed the app, Configured it, Launched it, but there is No icon in the System Tray. I hear the Notification Sound, See the Notifier Box drop down below the Time and Date, but I have nothing to click on to Open Gmail.

I have UE2.3 64bit. I followed the instructions to Add the Source, Configure the app, and Launch it. When new emails arrive in my Gmail InBox, I hear the Notification Tone and see the box drop down below my Time and Date, but I do not see any Icon in the System Tray, so I have nothing to click on to Open Gmail.

I have UE2.3 64bit. I installed GMail Notifier (gm-notify). I configured it using the Run command and gm-notify-config.py. It apparently launched the program because I immediately heard the sound and saw the box drop down from the System Tray, but there is no Icon so I can click on it to open Gmail

The option should be there. I can see it on my setup. Which version of Ubuntu are you using ?

there’s no Startup Applications option in Preferences… where else could I find this?

You can use the Start applications manager at System->Preferences->Startup Applications, to add gm-notify-config.py to the list of applications which run at startup.

OK… I’m a windows guy so I’m not sure how to do simple things. I did get this to install and it works fine. Now, how do I get it to automatically launch everytime I start the computer?

[...] utilizan el sistema de notificaciones de Ubuntu 9.04 y hace poco estuve leyendo un artículo de maketecheasier.com donde se menciona que existe una versión más actual de GMail Notifier que es compatible también [...]

You might want to change your screen capture, as it has the gmail-notify tool highlighted in Syanptic!!
