Review Summary
Users generally found Google Mail Checker simple and effective with useful notifications and quick access to their inbox. It has been reliable over years and preferred by some. However, multiple users report recent bugs: inaccurate unread email counts, inability to open the inbox upon clicking the icon, issues managing multiple windows or accounts, and stale unread counts due to deleted emails. These problems have persisted for weeks, leading to user frustration and requests for urgent fixes from the developers.
