      In the future I’ll be sure to put more descriptive error messages. However for the time being, could you verify that you entered in your correct username and password?

    thank you for the great application. i’m using it with ubuntu lucid lynx.

    i tried few thing to make it autostart. i tried to add entry like “gmail-notifier”, “gmail-notifiear.py” and “/usr/bin/gmail-notifier.py”… but they didn’t work for me. do you have any idea about this?

    it would be nice that this application would start on start-up! cheers

    May favourite email notifier so far… thanks for your work.

    PS. diskotek, ‘gmail-notifier.py’ works for me sometimes, but not consistently for some reason.

    yes, it’s the best email notifier for me also. it rocks when i’m using it with ubuntu’s indicator applet. i’ll post here, if i can find any solution for autostart.

    I also cannot get it to autostart under Lucid, having tried several different things in the startup apps. I didn’t have this problem under Hardy, but that was such an earlier version of gmail-notifier that it’s probably not relevant.

    If I have success I’ll post back to this thread.

      OK, what I ended up doing was create /usr/local/bin/gmail-notifier-wrapper as follows:
      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      sleep 60
      /usr/bin/gmail-notifier.py

      I have /usr/local/bin/gmail-notifier-wrapper in my startup apps. So far this is working for me. Hope this is helpful to the next frustrated person.

    Great notifier, the best I’ve tried as for now!

    I’ve got no probles with autostart on ubuntu lucid with the simple gmail-notifier.py but I thank anyway nyb for this wrapper, may be useful in the future..

    Can I send a small feature request for a future version?

    Do not try to get new emails if I’m not connected to internet. I think that it could be quite easy to get this information from Network-Manager, or with a ping to google.com .
    It’s just my opinion, but I think useless to receive the notification “Gmail notifier: unable to connect” if I already know that there is no available internet connection.
