Back to gm-notify

For using Gnome gmail notifier for several days, Gnome gmail notifier can't check email very well. Every time I boot my system, the Gnome gmail notifer seems to fail to check email. So I decide to use gm-notify, and use another gmail account to fetch my gmail accounts (gm-notify only supports one gmail account.)

Because gm-notify was integrated into the indicator applet, it's better to install indicator applet, then I can easily check mail and open mail.

gm-notify have a good funtionality that can let me also check labels of gmail account. So I set up to transfer mails of my non-personal account to my personal account, and set a filter in personal account that can apply a lebal to all mails from non-personal account. Then I check the personal mail account and the label of non-personal account. It should be noticed that the filter need to be set for "to: non-personal account." I used to set "from: non-personal account," but nothing happened. After I checked the detail of mail, I found these mails from non-personal account are all detailed by "to: non-personal account."
