How it works

Below is a Gmail account with a number of new emails and 1 new email under SIMPLYBOOK label. Instructions for setup labels and filters in Gmail is available here.

Gmail monitor will start with the main GUI where you can setup you Gmail labels to monitor. If you leave the textbox empty, it will monitor all emails in your selected Gmail. Multiple labels need to be separated by “;”.

You can setup the auto refresh interval i.e. 5 minutes. In the screenshot below, the label is SIMPLYBOOK and interval is 1 minute.

When the monitor start, it will add an icon into Windows system tray (bottom right corner of the screen)

By clicking Refresh button, it will check unread emails of selected label and add into the result textbox (see screenshot below)

If there’re new email, a balloon tip (screenshot below) will pop-up every XXX minutes (interval) to show how many unread emails (i.e. booking emails have not been check by receptionist)

The next two screenshots are example when no label is selected.
