GMail Feature Request

Posted: December 30th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: | 4 Comments »

Seriously I need this: I don’t want to remember that large number and check if it has increased to understand a new mail arrived or not. Until the day browsers support out of the window notifications, I want GMail to support a way to indicate that a new mail arrived or not via taskbar title.

It could be something like this:
Initial state: Inbox (4018) …
A new mail arrived: Inbox (4019*) …
Window is focused for N seconds: Inbox (4019) …

UPDATE: Thanks to priority inbox, this is no longer a problem for me!

    YuSuF,

    I uses Google Talk in my Traybar to have notification of new mails.
    If the icon is blank, nothing new. If a red “M” is displayed new mails are arrived.
    See http://www.google.com/talk

    or if you use Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/173/

    @Adriano
    Do you keep unread mails in your inbox, or always mark them as read?
