Flock 1.1 Offers Built-in Webmail Support

By Scott Gilbertson March 7, 2008 Categories: Software & Tools

flocksmall.jpgFlock, the web browser based on Firefox, but with added features for tracking your friends across the web, has released a small but welcome update. Flock 1.1 adds support for webmail services like Gmail or Yahoo Mail.

A new mail button in the Flock toolbar allows you to stay logged in to your webmail account without having to keep a browser window or tab open. The toolbar button will notify you when new mail arrives. Clicking the button opens a menu showing the number of unread messages and even the subject of the first few messages — just click on a message and it will open in a new tab.

To make the webmail integration it more complete, Flock 1.1 will also intercept any mailto: links and automatically open the Gmail or Yahoo Mail compose page in a new browser tab (to set a webmail service as your default e-mail handler head into the Flock preferences panel).

The other notable new feature in 1.1 is that Google’s Picasa photo sharing service is now available for search and subscription through Flock’s media bar — joining similar options for sites like Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and more.

Flock is free and can be downloaded from the official site.
