Is there a Gmail notifier that integrates with the Messaging menu?

Solution 1

I prefer GmailWatcher which neatly integrates with the other notifications in Unity/Gnome.

Solution 2

Try installing the gm-notify package, this will give you :

notifications on new mail,
integration with the messaging indicator.

Solution 3

I'm using Cloud Service Notifications and it works great. In addition to gmail notifications you can also set up notifications for google reader, pop3, twitter, rss and others.

Solution 4

Also, Popper integrates nicely into message indicator for any email provider

It doesn't seem to support multiple accounts.

You can choose whether you want it in the messaging menu or as a status icon in the settings.

I can't make it to work in unity, annoying.

Didn't work well for me, and was buggy. However, Cloud Service Notifications worked really well (installed from git).

I just installed from git, and it is a great simple and versatile solution.

After reading through this thread and trying a few of the suggested notifiers, I am sticking with Popper for now. It's versatile, integrates well with the Natty indicator and it has a good configuration tool with helpful tooltips and a well-written help file. I don't like desktop mail clients for Gmail (too slow), which is why I also liked the fact that the commands invoked on clicking on a new mail header are configurable. I deferred all actions to Firefox opening Gmail in the right places (with some help from kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments)
