Set Up Gmail Notifier
Gmail notifier will let you know when you have email on your Gmail
account. When ever you get a new email to your Gmail account Gmail
notifier will give you a small little pop up on your computer down in
the bottom right hand corner so it doesn't interrupt your work or what
you're doing. The pop up tells you who sent the email and also gives you
a little preview of the email itself.
When the Gmail notifier pops up you can see what the email is so you can decide whether it's important enough to read now or not. If it is you can click on Gmail notifier and you will be taken to the email you want to read.
You can't delete emails from Gmail notifier but you can go to your Gmail and delete them from there. With Gmail notifier you can also set Gmail as your default email program so when you click on email links in a Web page a Gmail window will pop up for you to send mail with.
