Re: An Open Source Gmail Notifier for Mac OS X
#12"Real-time email notifications considered harmful" Seriously, if your daily activities require actual thought, turn all that shit off. If you need to know when a critical email shows up from time to time or from specific people, find a tool that does that or wire one together yourself with IFTTT and a push notification service. Your flow will thank you.
For me it's not about getting real time notifications, but about being able to quickly see if I have any messages without having to keep a gmail browser window open all the time. I actually find that I spend LESS time looking at email when I have Notifier running, because I'm not compelled to keep looking at a full Gmail window to see if I have anything. I can easily ignore it most of the time, and when I do want to see if I have anything, I can see it in a half second glance.
