Google Hosted Mail Notifier

@Seth and @Olivier:

Actually, the official Google Notifier doesn't work for my hosted domain. It works for about an hour, and then can no longer contact the server. I did some research and it's a known bug that Google has done nothing about for more than 6 months. Fortunately, this little program works perfectly.

@Mike:

Don't be an idiot. This isn't a mail client, like Apple's Mail. It's a notifier. I don't use Mail.app and won't want to use it because it isn't as full-featured as the native GMail interface.

useless, just use apple mail, and you can put your hotmail, yahoo, gmail,etc

google notifier works well with my hosted domain

or if you want a desktop app.... http://mailplaneapp.com/
is in beta right now..

I don't understand. Google Notifier works perfectly fine for email and calendar for my domain hosted by Google. Does it not work for everyone else?

#1: Eloise, there sure is. I frequently use and love a widget called MultiDash:

http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/multidash.html

This lets you set up different batches of widgets that you can switch to on the fly. Note, however, that the Dashboard process is 'owned' by the same process that runs the Dock, so when you restart the Dashboard with a new set of widgets, you'll see the Dock disappear and reload itself as well. Nothing is going wrong here; this is perfectly normal and won't harm anything (though you might notice quirks such as any app that uses a badge, like the unread count in Mail and NetNewsWire. The badge disappears, but the app continues to work fine).

Hope this helps!

I'm sneaking in a request really...

I have a few widgets I really like, and a much larger number I use occasionally. Short of creating different users with different sets of widgets, is there a convenient way to manage which ones are active when I hit F12 rather than then having to open, install, use, remove or have them all chewing up resources at the same time?
