Change the GMail notifier check interval

Change the GMail notifier check interval
The GMail notifier app for the Mac no longer has a preference to let you set how often the notifier checks for new mail. Previous version of the GMail Notifier allowed you to set whatever interval you wanted.

But there is a trick that lets you set the interval that it uses to check for new Mail. Click on the GMail notifier icon in the menu bar. Then hold down *both* the Command *and* Option keys and while doing this click on the "Preferences..." option in the menu. When you do this, it'll pop up a little window like so:

GMail Notifier preferences setting dialog

Click into the box and add this as the key:
AutocheckInterval

Then add the value as the number of minutes you want to use as an interval for checking for new mail. Hit the "Set" button when you are done. You may need to restart GMail Notifier for the change to take effect.
