Introduction

gmail-notify is a cooler looking gmail notification client for Ubuntu 9.04+. It uses the latest Ubuntu 9.04 notification system for displaying mail notifications. The design is inspired by the the Mac OS X based gmail notification tool.

The program uses the gmail atom feeds for mail notifications and provides direct links to e-mails and inbox.
