Google updates Gmail Notifier
Gmail Notifier, the little app from Google that... well, notifies you when you have new mail in your Gmail account,
has been updated. It sports a new
icon, auto updating, and it is now Universal.What more could you ask for?
Well, the ability to have it check more than one Gmail account to start with.

You can just set up a QuickSilver trigger for Cmd+G to open http://mail.google.com "On Press". I just set this up and it work perfectly just like GmailStatus used to.

I am having the same problem with my notifier. How do you fix it!?
There appear to be issues with Gmail Notifier.

Not sure if this is with Gmail+Growl or just Gmail Notifier alone. I use both and Gmail Notifier refuses to recognize new mail. Interesting, eh?
Does this version finally check your mail via HTTPS? It's kind of pointless to use a secure login to GMail if the notifier is sending my credentials in cleartext every X minutes.

You could however set up a trigger from Quickssilver, or the launcher of your choice and just point it at the Gmail Notifier.app. or at your gmail bookmark. My only real point is that you don't need a plugin to the Gmail Notifier to be able to get to your inbox in the same fashoin as you described with GmailStatus.

I want a simple keyboard shortcut like GmailStatus offers that immediately opens my default browser to my gmail inbox.
