Freeware February: gCount

I'd have to say GmailStatus is better.... since it works, and gCount doesn't.

I have multiple accounts with gmail so I figured I could use gcount and gmailstatus each with a seperate account, but no such luck. The gcount would say there were no unread messages in either account, but once I closed gmail status it would find the unread messages in both accounts.

Which is better - gCount or Gmailstatus? Anyone have a take on the differences?

Kevin- Yes I've heard of IMAP. The problem is that my web/mail host, 1&1, doesn't offer IMAP access so I'm stuck with a web-based account. The next time I move my account that will be the first thing I look for.

Erik - ever heard of something called IMAP? It lets you keep all your mail on the server, so you can access it from several different machines in different locations and have access to all your mail from any of them.

Question for the folks pulling down Gmail via POP - is it the bees knees, all that and a bucket of chicken with side of slaw? You can pull down via any POP client on any machine and have your Gmail automagically mirrored there? That would rawk. My other question is for any Gmail folks using multiple accounts: I've sort of hacked up a 'productivity suite' using different gmail accounts to do notes, tasks, etc. because I was tearing my hair out working on so many different machines and devices and who was time to deal with syncing things?!? Has anybody found a decent solution to working with multiple Gmail accounts? Am I doomed to kludge it in my 6 different browsers for now? any tips appreciated, thanks!

mail appetizer from http://www.bronsonbeta.com/ freeware and very handy :)

Is there an incredimail equivalent program for Mac mail? Or a general email notifier that works with Mac mail?

I liked it a lot. But since they introduced POP I abandoned it too.

This is the first I've heard of gCount. I use GmailStatus.
