tutorial - Gmail Notifier - OpenSuSe

CheckGmail 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. Each message can be opened directly in a browser window, and many common Gmail operations (marking as read, archiving, deleting or reporting as spam) can be carried out on messages directly within CheckGmail, without the need to use the Gmail web interface.

Configuration of CheckGmail is GUI-based and the application is designed to be simple, elegant and unobtrusive.

    * Small, fast and elegant
    * Open messages, mark as read, archive, delete, or report as spam directly from the popup window
