Google Mail Checker Plus
Been using this now for ages, does the same job. But a lot better.
Not quite the same job though. AFAIK, if you're in another program that isn't Chrome, you won't see the notifications.Quote:

Sure you could argue that it's better integrated into Chrome as then you don't need something else installed, and it might be more compatible with work computers - but surely the reality is that work computers aren't going to have the latest version of Chrome anyway? Unless of course you're able to personalise them, in which case I'd still rather stick with Gmail Notifier and be web browser agnostic.
Also, I can leave Gmail Notifier signed in without anybody being able to access my email account, so (unless I'm missing something), the potential for added security with minimal hassle (i.e. I can close t'interweb and go off somewhere, come back briefly and I can see at a glance what emails I've received without needing to log back in, unless I need to read them in more depth/reply to them.
