Use Gmail Notifier On OSX With Multiple Accounts

Came across a way of using Gmail Notifier on OSX over multiple Gmail accounts:

  1. Duplicate the Google Notifier application.
  2. Select the duplicate, control-click on its icon, and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
  3. Navigate into Contents, and then open Info.plist in an editor.
  4. There is a property in that file called CFBundleIdentifier, with the value com.google.GmailNotifier. Change the property's value to com.google.GmailNotifierTwo instead.
  5. Save your change and quit the editor.
Thanks to Mac OX Hints for orginally posting this.

Thank you for posting this. Those damn widgets haven't worked in months for multiple accounts and this worked great.

Wow. Works like a charm. 30 seconds later and I've got work and home email notifiers going. Thanks.

In last version Google sign their Google Notifier application so just changing a BundleIdentifier method does not work, but there is workaround though. You should re-sign the second instance according to this instructions.
