CheckGmail
 CheckGmail
is an alternative Gmail Notifier for Linux and other *nix systems. It
is fast, secure and uses minimal bandwidth via the use of Atom feeds.

is a system tray application that checks a Gmail account for new mail.
When new mail is present the tray icon changes, an optional animated
popup is displayed and a tooltip displays the number and details of new
messages.
Configuration is GUI-based and the application is designed to
be simple, elegant and unobtrusive.
It is written in Perl.
