X-notifier for Chrome

X-notifier for Chrome is a versatile browser extension that can keep tabs on your email accounts in order to notify you regarding the number of unread emails.

It works with various email platforms such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Daum, Never, Nate and can be extended to monitor sites such as Twitter and Facebook via scripts that can be downloaded from the developer’s website.

The extension is not restricted to handling one account, but it can keep an eye on several, for that matter. The check interval can be configured by the user.

Deploying the add-on on the system is nothing complicated, simply drag and drop it on top of the Extensions section inside the Chrome browser and confirm its installation when you’re prompted to do so.

In order to enjoy its perks, you need to navigate to the Options window, where you can configure the accounts to be monitored. Your login details are required, of course, for the email checking process.

Alongside these, you can also set the application to watch over the Spam folder and to notify you when a new message arrives, optionally through a custom audio alert.

If you’ve finished tweaking this section, you can press the ‘Save’ button, at which point the add-on immediately starts checking the status of your inbox, displaying the number of unread messages in your account(s) inside a little panel located in the extension bar.

Considering all of the above, X-notifier for Chrome seems like a good addition to your add-on collection, being able to check your inbox for new email messages and to redirect you to it in just a click.
