Quite frequently, Google Notifier is getting stuck in this loop where the dialogue box that asks for my password keeps popping up over and over, even though the password is correct and it's set to save the password in keychain. The only way for me to stop it is to quit the application. As far as I can tell, it seems to happen randomly. I've tried reinstalling GN, deleting the plist file and removing GN's entry in keychain, but it hasn't made a difference.

Any ideas?

Can't help, but it's just recently started doing the same thing to me. Quit and restart is the only solution I've come up with.

I do have the latest version. I'm wondering if maybe it's just a problem with Gmail's servers rather than the software.
