WikiHow explains how to configure Gmail Notifier to use SSL to retrieve your email account information. This addresses a glaring issue that seems to have been swept under the rug for a long time: why use a secured connection (as is setup when you use Better Gmail) when actually checking your Gmail account if Gmail Notifier is passing your email info back and forth in the clear? The tutorial is specific for Windows and requires the use of freeware app VirtualDub. This will secure Gmail Notifier's connection and take less than five minutes to get going.
