You want it to send you an email? How exactly do you want to be notified?

(I use Opera, which is also a mail client, so it lets me know when the gmail account I have it set to gets new mail. I suppose there are other apps that will do this.)

No, I mean that something notifies me that a new mail has arrived..., something like the notification MSN messenger gives you when you have a new mail at hotmail.

I think there are small app's written specifically for this, though I'm not sure if they're in the repo's or not :)

If you're using Firefox, you can use either Gmail Manager or Gmail Notifier. Both will notify you of new mail.

For the Ubuntu desktop, I just looked at cgmail, which is in the repositories. I liked it, but I don't really need one outside of the browser. I know there are a couple of others for the desktop in the repos too, but I'm not familiar with them.

Anyway, one of these should do the trick for you...

There is a gmail-notify in the repos.

If you use Xfce, the mail watch panel plugin works great.

cGmail gets my vote. One of the best mail apps ever.
