Yes. Sorry but it's dead.

Mail Notifr sunset on March 8th, 2024.

As this app needs to access Gmail restricted APIs, it's required to complete a CASA security assessment, which is a progress I could NOT get through.

I've decided to make the end of its service. Sorry, and thank you.

Sorry currently it only supports a fixed set of (built-in) sound all the macOS versions have.

Sounds like encoding issue indeed. I will check and fix. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Sorry again for not being able to update 1.3 for below 11.

Hey Susan what version of Mail Notifr are you using? 2.0.0 and above now uses OAuth which I think should be working. 1.3.5 has to use application specific password, which Google said they would drop support anytime. So unfortunately as you're on 10.1x you can't update to 2.0.0 to use the new oauth method required by Google.
I'm sorry I'm not able to update 1.3 version to support oauth and 10.10.

Hi Alex, I believe you need to use an application specific password to use. I'm not aware of any recent changes to Gmail security requirement but if you have 2FA enabled that's it. Please refer to this for more info: https://support.google.com/....
Also sorry I can't make update to v1.x to support Google API or OAuth; unfortunately v2.x requires macOS 11 and above.

2.0 uses gmail api while the previous version used gmail atom feed. I think atom feed returns list of threads, while the api I use returns single messages.

It's not a bug but I'll take a look. Not sure if I'll switch the api to change this, though. Google app review process is too much pain if api usage change require re-verification.

Yes there is a bug when handling zero messages. I have fixed this but please allow a few days before next release is out.

FYI, fix version 2.0.1 is up in the store.

@J Cobleigh I've fixed this and going to submit a new version. Thank you again for bringing this up.

Thank you for reporting this. I'll check and fix ASAP.

Hi Guillaume are you able to use it now? I have M1 Mac mini myself and I can still use Mail Notifr as before.

Re: Gmail Notifr Feedback

James Chen — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 04:10:54 -0000

I received that note as well. Will take a look to evaluate how difficult it'd take to update by using Google API. But there's no guarantee.

Re: Gmail Notifr Feedback

James Chen — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 03:34:16 -0000

Sorry but no (at least for the foreseeable near future).

Re: Gmail Notifr Feedback

James Chen — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 19:35:34 -0000

Does the other account have 2fa enabled? Mail Notifir doesn't support that unless you set an application specific password for 2fa enabled account.

That's odd. I couldn't reproduce this. Have you also tried combination of more modifier keys, such as "cmd+shift+G"?

Re: Gmail Notifr Feedback

James Chen — Wed, 19 Jul 2017 22:06:42 -0000

It's likely you were setting to an existing hot key. Could you try setting other keys?

Anders sometimes this happens without any reason I'd think of. Could you try it in a few days to see if it's working?

Re: Gmail Notifr Feedback

Mail Notifr doesn't claim to have these two features.

Re: Gmail Notifr Feedback

James Chen — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 19:58:54 -0000

I tried to integrate with Google' Gmail API last year but didn't go too far (will try agin in the future).

Regarding lightweight, it's one of the reasons I don't want to embed their huge API. The core of Mail Notifr is very simple: call their legacy feed xml.

Re: Gmail Notifr Feedback

James Chen — Sun, 16 Oct 2016 21:50:14 -0000

Not very likely. The current API it uses doesn't work with that.

This is a really small nice feature.

Will take a look at this issue.
