Runbox Notifier (Part 2)
I know I've asked this before, but I thought I'd ask again: Does Runbox plan on releasing a simple e-mail notifier for use in the Windows taskbar (much like how Google did for their Gmail service, as well how FuseMail did, too)? It doesn't seem like it'd be an enormously big project for any of the team members to take on (probably take a week or less to program), nor would it (probably) be too much to contract out as a job to a third party outside of the company. I'd think that this is one of these things that users really would like to have, but haven't put up much of a fuss about (yet). Thanks to whoever replies.

OK then. How about a "Runbox is down yet again" notifier? That'd help.

So far, 92 people have viewed this thread. It'd be safe to assume at least 80 views were unique ones. I'm willing to bet that nearly all of them would absolutely LOVE to have a Windows-based e-mail notifier meant specifically for Runbox, but haven't bothered to throw in their two cents ... How about it, folks? Would you like to have an e-mail notifier made by Runbox AS for Runbox e-mail accounts? Come on; voice your opinion here ...

I would love to have it, and this is a great idea. However, as people said earlier the service should be stable first.

I'd have to vote with the others here, no time on features till the service is reliable. If it's not back up and running soon, I think a lot of us will reluctantly be going elsewhere, and a Runbox notifier won't help us there . . . --Jason |

Right. I'm one of these people (who're waiting to see what happens with Runbox before I do anything), but still, no reason why we can't plan on the side ...

downtime and a notifier
If you want a notifier try http://www.poppeeper.com its free and never causes any hasles.
Regarding the downtime. I have been a client for a year or so and get 20 plus emails a day and only ever notice downtime occasionally. A couple of years ago when I had no life i used to click on the refresh button every 5 minutes - back then I would have hated ANY downtime. The lack of crap that I get with my Yahoo account (700 spam emails a day) makes the occaisonal downtime worth it. My 2cents Jack |

No. I'd like something that leads to my web browser and opens my webmail interface automatically, much like how Gmail's e-mail notifier works ... Anyone know of such a thing? If not, then Runbox will have to develop its own.
