How to Hack Gmail Notifier to Use SSL

A brief explanation as to how to make the Gmail Notifier open Gmail using SSL instead of normal HTTP. The steps should be pretty self-explanatory from the pictures included.

  1. Close Gmail Notifier.
  2. Copy gnotify.exe and rename to copy to gnotify.exe.BAK (safety first)

  3. Open virtualdub, and then open the hex editor from Tools menu -> Hex editor… (any hex editor will work)

  4. In the hex editor, go to File -> Open, and browse to gnotify.exe (should be in C:\Program Files\Google\Gmail Notifier\).
  5. Select gnotify.exe
  6. De-select “Open as Read Only”

  7. Use Ctrl+F and type http://mail.
  8. Hit Enter, and you will see the URL that notify uses (the http:// one, not the https:// one above it, that seems to be just for logging in.)

  9. Place your cursor on the colon (:) right after the “http” (again, not after “https”) and just start typing.
  10. Type out s://mail.google.com/mail/ which will reduce the number of periods between /mail/ and ?.u, but that’s OK.

  11. Save and restart notify.exe
