Gmail Notifier Highly Integrates with Ubuntu 9.04
Gmail Notifier for Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope is an awesome little python-install application that integrates perfectly with the gnome desktop, and immediately alerts you of incoming Gmail messages.
The official Gmail Notifier by Google is only for Windows and Mac, for now – they say, but it’s been over a year or so that Mac and Windows users enjoy this goody -- and Linux is left out. Anyway it’s not the first time.
To get started, download and cd into the directory.
Install with sudo ./setup.py install
To configure go to System -> Preferences -> Gmail Notifier Configuration. To run Applications -> Internet -> Gmail Notifier . For a better integration with Ubuntu 9.04 this application needs python-indicate
sudo apt-get install python-notify python-indicate
Gmail Notifier puts an icon on your top panel, it highlights your unread Gmail messages, and shows you only their subjects.
– You can also activate the sound notification option for incoming new mails.
– Naturally you don’t need to have your Gmail accounts open on any web browser whilst running this application.
Gmail Notifier for Ubuntu 9.04 is released under the GNU GPL v3 license and is now at version 0.8.

I’ve followed the instructions, but I still don’t get an icon in my top bar. I have all the different files installed, but it just won’t display. Do I have to activate Ubuntu’s new notification thing somewhere?
Thank you for the how-to.

I hope you’re on Ubuntu 9.04 and have also installed python-indicate & python-notify

@ NIELS if you downloaded ver 8.0 then you need to go to Applications / Internet / GMail Notifier and Allow application access to keyring. Always Allow

Man, is there anything like this for Google Voice notifications??
This would be SO perfect, and exactly what I’m looking for!
I know GV supports push now, so would this be possible?
I already have everything else I could think of integrated all nice and swell, so this would make it PERFECT.
Shouldn’t be too hard to create, or to modify this one I’d assume.. however I’ve no idea where to begin anymore. x.x
