I use mail-notification for pop-mail.

It also works with Gmail.

What webmail service do you use?

I use gmail and yahoo.

In which case - try mail-notification.

Which Ubuntu version are you using?
If Hardy - get the Hardy .deb from getdeb.net; If Intrepid, just use aptitude.

It's pretty self-explanatory once installed, but this might help for Yahoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356007 (if you use Yahoo POP - but mail-notification has Yahoo as a separate option)

Thanks, but I've tried that before. The free yahoo mail doesn't work with POP anymore.

It does work for Gmail, as does Gmail notify.

I'm afraid I can't help with Yahoo. Obviously Pidgin has the facility to monitor emails, but is not particularly good at it.

Are you using a package manager to install them (e.g. apt-get, Synaptic, Add/Remove, etc.)? If so, are all your Software Sources enabled?
