Easy Gmail Checker Light

Easy Gmail Checker Light is a simple application that gets integrated into your systray and monitors your Gmail account, alerting you whenever you get new email.

It's designed for users who wish to stay up to date with their Gmail accounts without having to launch the web browser to regularly check their inboxes.

Following a speedy setup operation that shouldn't impose any difficulties, Easy Gmail Checker Light creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area.

It's evidently necessary to specify your Gmail credentials to be able to take advantage of this program. By clicking the tray icon, you will bring up a small dialog to the screen, where you can input your email address (without the Gmail domain) and password.

There is no confirmation button displayed, as it's only required to click the X close button in order to remember the settings.

If the program doesn't seem to work, pay a visit to your Gmail account in the web browser to allow its access. This is a Google security measure that oversees and blocks suspicious login attempts, which can be unlocked by you.

After making Easy Gmail Checker Light operational, it will beep and show a message dialog in the center of the screen whenever you receive new emails.

In this dialog, you can check out the sender names and, if you click "Ok", the tool will redirect you to your Gmail account by opening a new tab in your default browser.

This sums up all that's provided by the Gmail checker. Unfortunately, it doesn't give you the possibility to tinker with the email checkup frequency or to select a different folder to monitor (other than the inbox).

Nevertheless, Easy Gmail Checker Light was very responsive in our tests and, although it hasn't been updated for a while, we didn't have any trouble getting it to work on Windows 10.
