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

  • notifications on new mail,
  • integration with the messaging indicator.

  • It doesn't seem to support multiple accounts.

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

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

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.

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

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

    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)
