If in doubt, better not install the script.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3184570402985115894-2345539896524029866?l=g-alert.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Balajihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14751419966740395874noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184570402985115894.post-55521877286454612362007-09-08T10:31:00.000-07:002007-10-10T00:26:48.504-07:00<div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b>G-Alert </b>^{<span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">alpha</span>}<b> -- A Greasemonkey script for setting reminders in GMail</b><br /> </div> <b><br /></b><u>WHAT IS IT ?<br /><br /></u>G-alert is a small script that runs on your browser when you open GMail.<br />You can select and set alerts on the mails that you need to be reminded later on.<br />It remembers the alerts set by you and pops-up a window on the scheduled time.<br /><br /> <u>INSTALLATION<br /><br /> </u>1) Install greasemonkey firefox extension <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748" id="dq6:" title="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748</a><br /> 2) Install G-alert by <a href="http://g.alert.script.googlepages.com/gmailalert.user.js">clicking here</a>.<br /> 3) Open GMail; you should now get a G-alert menu bar at the top-right of the window :<br /> <div id="j_9w" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"> <blockquote> <div id="cjng" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"><img style="width: 543px; height: 176px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dcst5xxj_1ggqmpmhd" /></div> </blockquote> <br /> <br /> <br /> <u>WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT?</u><br /> </div> 1) You can set reminder alerts by selecting your mails, setting the time, and hitting the "Go" button :<br /> <div id="q.mo" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"> <blockquote> <div id="vfh7" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"><img style="width: 589px; height: 296px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dcst5xxj_2cm2vptfz" /></div> </blockquote> <br /> 2) You can add notes by clicking on "Add note".
