wmckgmail is a very simple program used to monitor the number of unread mails
in a gmail inbox. It uses the wget command to get the gmail atom feed and reads
the number of new mails from this feed. It is a dockapp that is supported by X
window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, Fluxbox and
Enlightenment.

This dockapp is quite simple. It contains the gmail M icon and a small counter.
When the program is unable to access gmail, the counter shows the "ERR" string
and the M icon is greyed. When gmail is accessible and your configuration file
contains a valid username/password combo, the counter indicate the number of
new mails in the gmail inbox. If there is no unread mails in the gmail inbox,
the M icon stays greyed. If there is unread mails in the gmail inbox, the M iconthen takes its real colors and the counter indicates the number of unread mails.

CheckGmail is an alternative Gmail Notifier for Linux and other *nix systems. CheckGmail project is fast, secure and uses minimal bandwidth via the use of Atom feeds.

CheckGmail is a system tray application that checks a Gmail account for new mail. When new mail is present the tray icon changes, an optional animated popup is displayed and a tooltip displays the number and details of new messages. Configuration is GUI-based and the application is designed to be simple, elegant and unobtrusive.

There are several other Gmail Notifier alternatives around (see the links section below), but all use a cumbersome method of gathering Gmail account information that basically involves loading the login page, logging in just as a web-browser would, then using Gmails javascript interface to mine the relevant data.

The advantage of this approach is that you can grab any information that you can see on the Gmail web interface. The disadvantage is that it uses heaps of bandwidth and time when typically all you want to know is whether theres new mail in your account. In comparison, the use of Atom feeds by CheckGmail is simple, straightforward and fast while still providing the details of any new mail in your inbox.

The other reason for CheckGmail is security - no password information should ever be stored in plain text, yet this is exactly what at least one popular alternative does. CheckGmail provides the option of either encrypting the saved password information or - for maximum security - re-entering your password each time the application is run.

If you decide to save the password, it is encrypted using a passphrase generated from machine-unique information (the eth0 MAC address and/or uname system information). Encrypting the password prevents both casual reading of plain text passwords on your machine, but more importantly allows the CheckGmail config file in your home directory to be

To access the settings panel you must change the language on your gmail account to EN-US - This is because of how tightly gmailskins integrates in to the Gmail interface. You can change your language back again afterwards and the settings will still be applied, although "your mileage may vary".
Some features will be added to your account, please do not mistake these for beta features rolled out by google like this guy: http://www.digg.com/links/Gmail_New_Features.

GmailAgent is a application that acts as a email client and can be used by programs
like Digikam,gthumb and others to provide email access to a Gmail account.

Its written in Python and pyQT. GmailAgent is licensed under the GPL. Many programs like the ones mentioned before uses a plugins sheme to let the user start a external email client to compose a message with selected files from the program as attachments.

The problem with Gmail is that its webbased and only accessible through the internet.
GmailAgent provides a simple local email frontend where the user can fill in a address and
type some message. It uses libgmail to send the message to the Gmail account which will process it further.

GmailAgent supports the remote command syntax from Mozilla so any program which provide the user with a Mozilla choice can use GmailAgent. When this syntax isnt used GmailAgent tries to make a educated guess.

In addition to the above, GmailAgent is now also supported by the kipi project. So with programs that use these plugins, like Digikam, KimDaBa,Gwenview, and others you can just choose GmailAgent as your email agent.
