Gmail notify os x
There are a few ways to get Gmail notifications on your Mac (OS X):
- Native Notification Center: You can set up Gmail notifications in the Notification Center on your Mac. To do this:
- Go to System Preferences > Notifications > Gmail
- Select the types of notifications you want to receive (e.g., new mail, replies, etc.)
- Choose the notification style (e.g., banner, alert, etc.)
- Gmail Notifier: You can use the official Gmail Notifier app, which is available for download from the Google website. This app will notify you of new emails in your inbox.
- Download and install the Gmail Notifier app from the Google website
- Launch the app and sign in with your Gmail account
- Customize your notification settings as desired
- Third-party apps: There are many third-party apps available that can provide Gmail notifications on your Mac. Some popular options include:
- Growl: A popular notification system for Mac that can be used with Gmail
- Notification Center: A third-party app that provides customizable notifications for various apps, including Gmail
- Mailplane: A Gmail client for Mac that provides notifications and other features
- Scripting: If you're comfortable with scripting, you can use AppleScript or Automator to create a custom notification system for Gmail. For example, you can use AppleScript to check your Gmail inbox at regular intervals and display a notification if you have new mail.
Here's an example of how you might use AppleScript to create a simple Gmail notification:
tell application "Gmail"
set newMail to count of messages in inbox
if newMail > 0 then
display notification "You have " & newMail & " new emails" with title "Gmail"
end if
end tell
This script checks the number of new emails in your Gmail inbox and displays a notification if there are any. You can run this script at regular intervals using the "iCal" app or another scheduling tool.
