Is there a Gmail notifier that works with multiple accounts?

Solution 1:

You can install the package gm-notify [Install gm-notify]

Otherwise, open up the Software Center (on the launcher), then do a search for "gm-notify". Once you've found it, mark it for installation, then go click "Install". Once that's done, you can launch it from the Applications lens by typing in "Gmail" and selecting it. Once it's launched, you can then configure it.

Solution 2:

Ok, self answering my question.

gnome-gmail-notifier works on Unity and Unity 2D too if you follow these steps:

  1. type in Terminal:
    gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
  2. log out
  3. log in

Edit:

if you are using Unity 2D this bug makes 'all' not working. A patch has been approved for Oneiric but not released yet.
Workaround:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['Gnome-gmail-notifier']"
(Capital G is needed.)

Solution 3:

Popper E-mail Notifier

Popper reads the new emails from POP3 and IMAP email servers and notifies about the number, subject, sender and time of new emails in the indicator applet and via a notification bubble.

Solution 4:

I believe Cloud Services Notifications is the best app for what you're looking for. It works in either systray or indicator mode and checks Gmail, Google Reader, POP3, etc.
