Getting Flocked: Web Mail Notifier

Still Flocking with this browser, I’ve had a chance now to get to know the web mail notifier feature. First off, I love the easy set up. As soon as you log into your web mail, Flock asks you if you would like to save the settings in the browser. A click or two later and you’re done. You can have multiple accounts loaded in, but only one default at a time. The absolute best feature is the ability to use your web mail straight away when you click on an e-mail link. Remember how you used to have all your web mail settings, POP and SMTP, all set up in a separate e-mail application then, when you clicked on an e-mail link, that app would then have to load on top of everything else. What a pain. No more. How sweet.

Now for the gripes…Flock doesn’t check the web mail for new messages when I load the browser. I’ve looked around at the settings, but I can’t get it to check the instant the browser loads unless I click on it to tell it to. I want less clicks, not more.

That being said, it still super convenient especially when you have several web mail accounts. I also like the one click to compose. That’s bitchin’ nice.
