I'd like to have a Gmail notification service in my Epiphany indicator applet, without leaving Evolution open in the background all the time. Right now I only get notifications if Evolution is open. Strangely, this is not the case with Google calendars in Evolution -- evolution can be closed yet I still get applet notifications through the clock/calendar applet.

For each of the answers, can people also list whether that answer also supports google apps accounts, and whether it supports multiple accounts?– Ryan C. ThompsonCommented Aug 6, 2010 at 17:57

Gmail Notifier is probably the best option for what you are trying to accomplish.

I use CloudSN (Cloud Services Notification). It supports gmail, google reader, pop3, imap, twitter, identi.ca

The best part is that it supports multiple accounts.

This is interesting, something new I'd better not mess with, but ... oh, man, supports google reader / identica too? dammit.– emfCommented Sep 25, 2010 at 0:22
I've had good luck with CheckGmail. Has a nice GUI, cool toaster popups, and allows you take actions on emails from the tray.
sudo apt-get install checkgmail; checkgmail &

CheckGmail is the only one of these that: 1. Displays the full text of the email. 2. Allows archiving/deleting/marking as read from the popup.– emfCommented Oct 1, 2010 at 7:20
Check out GMailWatcher. It is still in early development stage, but works quite well. I am using it for over a month now. Recommended.
