Inbox mail notifier gmail

Here are a few ways to set up an inbox mail notifier for Gmail:

Method 1: Gmail's built-in notification feature

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Scroll down to the "General" tab and click on "Notifications."
  4. Under "Desktop notifications," select the type of notifications you want to receive (e.g., "New message" or "New message from a specific sender").
  5. Click "Save Changes."

Method 2: Browser extensions

  1. Install a browser extension like:
    • Gmail Notifier (Chrome, Firefox, Opera)
    • Mail Checker (Chrome, Firefox)
    • Inbox When Ready (Chrome)
  2. Follow the extension's installation instructions.
  3. Configure the extension to notify you when you receive new mail.

Method 3: Third-party apps

  1. Install a third-party app like:
    • Pushbullet (Android, iOS, Chrome)
    • IFTTT (Android, iOS, web)
    • Notification Center (Android)
  2. Follow the app's instructions to connect your Gmail account.
  3. Configure the app to notify you when you receive new mail.

Method 4: Scripting

  1. Install a scripting tool like:
    • AutoHotkey (Windows)
    • AppleScript (Mac)
  2. Write a script that checks your Gmail inbox for new mail and notifies you.
  3. Run the script at regular intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes).

Here's an example AutoHotkey script:

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance force

; Set your Gmail username and password
username = [email protected]
password = your_password

; Set the notification sound
sound = C:\Windows\Media\ding.wav

; Check the inbox every 5 minutes
SetTimer, CheckInbox, 300000

CheckInbox:
{
    ; Login to Gmail
    Run, https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox
    Sleep, 1000
    Send, {Enter}
    Sleep, 1000
    Send, {Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Enter}
    Sleep, 1000

    ; Check for new mail
    FileRead, output, C:\temp\gmail_output.txt
    If (output!= "") {
        ; Play the notification sound
        SoundPlay, %sound%
        ; Display the notification
        MsgBox, New mail from %output%
    }
    Sleep, 1000
}

Note: This script is just an example and may require modification to work with your specific setup. Additionally, be cautious when using scripts that store your password, as they can be vulnerable to security risks.
