The application sits on the on the taskbar and lets you operate your emails without opening  your mails in the window.

It works much like iTunes which sits on the bar and lets you Play, Stop, Pause, etc..  Gmail Notifier Plus notifies you as soon as you have a new e-mail by showing a number on the icon, it does not pop up with a message which most of us find annoying.

Click on the icon and you will be able to preview all your new e-mails without even opening them in a new window.

The application is developed by a member of Neowin Forums (daty2k1). Click here to visit the launch thread and here to download Gmail Notifier Plus for Windows 7.

I tried to register with leading e-mail services offered today to see how user friendly these services are. One thing that really stood out was simply the username suggestions by these services.

Services like Yahoo and Hotmail/Live lived up to the expectations at suggesting usernames but surprisingly Google got too geeky and suggested some mechanical names and AOL was too lazy to suggest anything

Here is a ground breaking idea for a Web 2.0 company, I am sure SEQUOIA will readily invest a Billion $’s. Here is the idea.. with the growing number of "wanna be" Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo e-mail services it will be nice to have a site where you enter a username and it shows which of the e-mail services has that username available and which does not. Isn’t it a great idea?

Following are the suggestions from different services.

Hotmail’s suggestions (Pretty good, I would select one from the list)

Gmail’s Robotic Suggestions:

AOL was too lazy to suggest anything:
