If you want to get instant notification from Gmail, you can setup for desktop notification. This works nice if you use Google Chrome browser. But for this, you must be logged in into your Gmail account.
If you do not want to open Google Chrome just to receive desktop notification, there is one more way to receive desktop notification of Gmail. If you are windows 7 user, you can add Gmail to your taskbar. It will show notification each time you will receive a new email and lets you see the message right on the Windows 7 taskbar thumbnail preview.
To add Gmail in task bar, download Kwerty Gmail Notifier and install in your system. After installation, login with your Gmail credentials. After that, you will see a Gmail envelop like icon in task bar. The number on the icon denotes the number of unread messages in your Gmail inbox.
When you take your mouse pointer over the icon, you will be able to read the messages right there in the thumbnail pop up box. You may use the arrows (left and right) to navigate through all messages. To read the full email, click on the icon between the arrows. It will open the email in your default browser.
This application also allows users to customize few settings. You can choose a sound or deactivate it completely as a desktop alert. You can also set an interval (in minutes between 1 and 60) for auto updating.
This is really a nice tool for windows users. But it asks for users' Gmail login credentials. This may be a bit risky. Although, there is no security breach have been reported, But we cannot guarantee anything though.
