1. Looking for a simple system tray icon that will notify you of incoming emails and unread threads, without having to log into your Gmail account via your browser? Then Google’s own Gmail Notifier is your best bet.

2. Do you use Mozilla Firefox? Would you prefer a clickable browser button that pops up new mail alerts and keeps track of unread threads? Then a Firefox extension, also called Gmail Notifier, is your new favorite tool.

3. Okay, what if you want to read your Gmail through Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, or Thunderbird? Then gPopper is the app for you. If you need help setting it up with your chosen email client, read this tutorial.

4. Lastly, what if you have lots of email accounts and wish you could access them all in one place? My solution for you is called Mail Notifier, which will keep track of multiple Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and POP3 accounts in a single window.

If you want even more Gmail options, visit Mark Lyon’s Gmail page. Warning: I had problems with GSuite and had to uninstall, but I’m still waiting for GmailerXP’s release.
