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.

    Copy gnotify.exe and rename to copy to gnotify.exe.BAK (safety first)

    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 FilesGoogleGmail Notifier).
  5. Select gnotify.exe

    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.

    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
