Watcher for Yandex Mail™ is a secure Chrome extension designed to monitor your Yandex Mail inbox efficiently and safely. It checks your mail at configurable intervals ranging from 1 minute to 3 hours or manually, notifying you of unread or newly arrived emails through customizable alerts like sound, notifications, or icon blinking.

The extension emphasizes user security by using HTTPS-SSL protocols and leveraging browser cookies for authentication, eliminating the need to enter or store your username and password. It functions only when you're logged into Yandex Mail and cleans up after you in incognito mode to maintain privacy. You can also personalize alert sounds and icon skins, making it a flexible and safe tool for managing your Yandex Mail notifications directly from the browser toolbar.
