Chrome Gmail Notifier extension hack for your domain

My email domain is hosted by Google, so when they released an extension for Chrome for Gmail I was disappointed that it only supported @gmail.com addresses.

But here's a simple way to fix it:

1. Install the Gmail Notifier in Chrome


2. Close Chrome.


3. Find your extension's installation. On my Windows machine it's here:
   
   C:\Documents and Settings\tmckernan\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ilpnegfhimflflifcnmgpeihglhedbnn\0.1
   
   So you may have to find the proper extension folder on yours.


4. Look for these lines near the top:
   
   var gmail = "http://mail.google.com";
   var gmailAtomRef = "https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom";


5. Replace them with this;
   
   var gmail = "https://mail.google.com/a/<your domain here>/";
   var gmailAtomRef = "https://mail.google.com/a/<your domain here>/feed/atom";


6. Save the file, start up Chrome, and try clicking on the Login button along your status bar. If all is well it should take you to your Gmail login for your domain, and then the Notifier will then switch from saying "Login" to "Inbox".
