Install CheckGmail in Ubuntu, A Gmail Notifier for GNU Linux

If you want your GNU Linux distro to give automatic notifications when new mail arrives to your Gmail account, then you'll love CheckGmail app for Linux. It uses very little of you Bandwidth (helps to save some of that MBs.. if you're using a limited usage internet connection especially) and via the notifying window, you can perform things such as ...

*. Open,

*. Mark as read.

*. Report Spam.

*. Delete.

Another thing is that, unlike with many of these so called notifiers, CheckGmail does not bother you much while "notifying". When you click on "Open" or any other button/link on the GUI, it opens your default browser and takes you directly to the proper location on your Gmail account as well.

So, if you want to try it out in Ubuntu, open your Terminal and issue the below command.

sudo apt-get install checkgmail
