Attention Firefox Users: Due to popular demand, and in celebration of the spiffy new release of Firefox 3, you can now use the WebMail Notifier Addon to get notified when you have new email at Zenbe (or any of a variety of *cough* other email providers I suppose.)

1. To get started, download zenbe_webmailnotifier_v2.js and save it to your desktop.
2. Then, install the WebMail Notifier Addon if you don’t already have it. This may require restarting Firefox.
3. Open the WebMail Notifier preferences by either right-clicking the envelope icon in the right corner of your browser’s status bar, or by selecting the WebMail Notifier in the the Add-ons panel (Tools -> Addons) and clicking “Preferences”.
   
4. Click “User Script” and then “Add” the zenbe_mailnotifier_v2.js script you downloaded in step #1.
   
5. Once you’ve successfully added the script, click “OK” to return to the preferences window. You should now have a “Zenbe” option in the account pulldown. Select that and enter your Zenbe username and password in the fields next to it.
   
6. Click “Add” to add your Zenbe account, then close the preferences window.
7. Optional: Click the “General” tab to change how often the notifier checks the server, what sound is played when new mail is received, etc.

Once you close the preferences window, the WebMail Notifier will check your zenbe account and display the number of unread messages in your inbox. It should look something like this:

Happy Notifications!

[Updated 6/29/08: Post now links to v2 of the notifier script.]
