Google Notifier not updating as frequently as you like? Me neither! Until now!!

Do you need email as if it was sugar to a diabetic?  I sure do.  That’s why I’ve got my crackberry for when I’m on the go or just away from my mac.  When I am at my mac, I’ve been relying on Google Notifier to tell me when I have new mail.  It would check every 3-8 minutes which drove me crazy until today.  I’ve got it checking now every minute by using a SUPER simple fix I found via a Google Groups discussion.

I’ll give you the steps to make it easy for you.

  1. Click on you Google Notifier
  2. Press Option + Command together
  3. Click on preferences, if  a new window appreared with two fields in it, you did it correct.
  4. In the “Key” field, type “AutocheckInterval”
  5. In the “Value” field, type a number 1…60, I would like it updated every minute so I put in “1″
  6. Click “Set”
  7. Quit Google Notifier by pressing Command + Q
  8. Open Google Notifier

There you go.  All the steps you need to have Google Notifier update every minute or as frequently as you’d like.
