Gmail Notifier 1.8.2 for Mac is Broke
Update 04.01.2006: It magically started working again!
I know it's not just me, everyone at lunch today chimed in on how their Gmail Notifier just stopped working.
My workaround? Use the fantastic Adium as your chat client and log into Google Talk with your Gmail account.
Next, enable "new email notification" under the Events tab and Adium will let you know when new mail arrives. Easy cheesy.
Sure I hope Gmail fixes this, but if it takes them a while it's fine with me.
P.S. If you have Growl installed, you can opt for a prettier notification, but it's not required.
...Just found this thread on Google Groups via Digg confirming more outages. I'm running 10.4.5 on 3 machines and notifier doesn't work on any of them.

yeh my notifier dropped out about 1 or 2 days ago, then started working for a very short time then died again. its a bit of a pain, but arent there other menu bar alternatives rather than using a whole app like adium?
