... your notifier tells you you have a new email message, and you get all excited, only to find out it's something you sent to yourself?

hehe i used to do the same thing, then i set up a folder and a mail filter, so they all go one place.
my notifier only works for the inbox... it plays a sound for any mail, which can still lead to said excitement/disappointment, but if i'm away and come back it's less of an issue :)
Heh. That happens when I respond to a blog comment on my own blog, and then it gets sent to my gmail account, and I get all excited thinking I got a new comment.
that's the worst - like when someone eats the last donut and you didn't get one
LOL! SO true!
Tee hee. I do that all. the. time.
Ianqui, I do the same thing!
The Scientist: that is a great solution. Except that often I send myself an email to remind myself of something, and that only works if it sits in my inbox so that I'll see it.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
