Gmail Manager works by installing a status bar in the bottom right corner of your Firefox browser window. It will display the number of unread messages you have in your inbox, and scrolling over with your mouse will display a short snippet of the first 10 messages, letting you see the date, sender, subject and first line of your emails, all without opening any windows. Clicking on the status bar will open a tab and log in to your email.

There are several settings you can tweak by right-clicking on the status bar and choosing "Preferences," including sound notification and automatic login when you start Firefox. One of the great things about Gmail Manager is it can manage multiple Gmail accounts, so if you have a personal Gmail account as well as your Athens Academy webmail, you can check them all quickly and easily without opening multiple tabs (this feature is for Gmail accounts only.)

Installation is easy --- just visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1320 and click the "Install Now" button. Once it installs, it will prompt you to restart Firefox, and once it restarts there will now be an envelope icon in the bottom right corner. Click on this icon to add your Athens Academy webmail account and any other Gmail accounts you may have, set up the preferences as you like them and you're done!

The Media Center will also be purchasing a DVD copy for checkout as soon as it becomes available.

To help ease confusion, we have added a link called "Tutorials" to both the Faculty & Staff and Student homepages. This will be the central repository for training materials (print manuals, videos, etc.) that we produce. Currently, we have tutorials for MovableType, Gallery, and RSS information as well as links to library materials related to research for students. When you get a chance, check it out!

As always, if we create a new tutorial, we'll continue to announce it on the Tech Tips blog.
