So you've switched to GMail but pine for the days of yore when that snooty butler hand delivered your new Incredimail messages to you? Well, you're in luck!
Among the dozens of options available for GMail inbox alerts is b2 Notifier. Think of it as a combination of one part something Download Squad readers love (GMail) and two parts things they hate with a passion (Adobe Air and Incredimail).
And unlike Incredimail, since this baby is built on Air that means it will run on all three major OSes. Isn't that awesome news?! Yeah, I didn't think so either. I've built up an aversion to apps like this over the years.
It never fails that a system which can barely run the diagnostic and cleanup apps I throw at it will have Incredimail (or some other cheesey animated alerter - RIP, Bonzi Buddy) installed. And it also never fails that they'll start popping up with great frequency the moment I need to dig in.
But hey, to each his/her own. If you love sappy happy animated shenanigans, b2 Notifier should be right up your alley. And, in truth, if this app would actually convince some of my customers to switch from Incredimail to GMail, I'd be all for it.
