Check Multiple Gmail Accounts With Gmail Notifier
It is not that easy to check multiple Gmail accounts regularly. Gmail itself only allows one login per user. There are a handful of ways to circumvent that. Probably the most popular ones are using a desktop email client like Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird to check multiple Gmail accounts, or add-ons or userscripts that allow multiple Gmail logins at the same time.
Gmail Notifier furthermore offers the option to read the header and body of new messages unlike many other Gmail notifiers that only notify the user of new emails. The program will display a message count for every Gmail account that has been added and configured in the software program.
Emails can be marked as read or deleted as well and attachments are indicated to the user. Notifications are in place to inform the user when new emails have arrived in one of the accounts that are monitored by Gmail Notifier. It is possible to switch to the Gmail account immediately by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on the account. This will open the Gmail interface of the selected account in the default web browser.
Gmail Notifier should be compatible with most versions of Microsoft Windows. It was tested on a Windows XP SP3 test system.
Update: Gmail Notifier has been updated by the developer to work with Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well. The program has been localized into languages such as German, Spanish, French and Italian. The program checks every 2 minutes for new mails in all connected Gmail accounts, with the option to check manually at any time with a right-click on the application's system tray icon.

In Chrome, i can use extensions like multiNotifier for this exact same purpose. There are others too.

How many accounts can I have in Gmail Notifier?
I’m not sure, definitely more than one though.
Well I have 9 accounts and I was hoping I could put all of them on here but after I put 5 on I couldn’t put on any more. I’m disappointed because I was wanting to get rid of one of my notifiers and it holds all of them, but does some weird stuff, like when an email comes in it wont signal the right account it puts it in another……. What I mean is…… I have an email that says person “A” sent it. I go to that account and it’s not there, so I have to check all the rest of my accounts to see where it’s from. Needless to say it’s very frustrating.
Wow, nine is a lot. Maybe try contacting the developer to see if it is possible to increase the number of accounts.
who is best for us arenge marreg ya love marrege
wow, it’s nice post. But recently google has allowed directly to log in to check multiple accounts once. You can check this post on this page. http://www.techlikes.com/2010/08/check-multiple-gmail-accounts.html.
I received mail suggesting I check it out for possible review at my blog.
So far I don’t like how this one works. From its FAQ it reads settings from web (for compatibility), is “web-based” and will install updates silently.
Frankly I am very unlikely to use my Google account with third party tools and such mechanics hardly relieve my professional computer paranoia. :)
I hope you sleep well at night you paranoiac creature, cause Google is spying on every bit of your digital life. I like this notifier.
Thank you, I intend to sleep just well.
I have no illusion about degree of online privacy and Google’s role in it. But in no way that does (or should) make me more likely to hand login details to personal and financial information to third party application that I know for a whole half day.
Gamil Notifier is based su IMAP and doesn’t support proxy. However Spiffy does.
Hoi Martin a (quick) question to you do you think this app. is better/handier than CookiePie 1.0.4 (a.k.a. ChocoTorta)?
Paulus. The main difference is that CookiPie is a web browser extension while Gmail Notifier is a desktop application. I do not like to be logged into my Google account whenever I surf the web. This is taken care of by Gmail Notifier. It also does not force you to have the web browser tabs open all the time to check for new emails. Gmail Notifier is nice but I personally prefer a desktop email client like Thunderbird that can also handle multiple Gmail accounts without problems.
Well there is another application like this which I have reviewed, but it supports 2 gmail accounts
I don’t to sound like spam but here is the link

awesome app !
Great post! The timing was perfect because just this morning I was looking for a way to see both of my gmail accounts at the same time… the only thing left is creating a way to have both accounts open in different tabs of the same browser.
