Official GMail Notifier, exactly like GMail Status
GMail Status app came out before the GMail Notifier which adds header-preview. Still, an acknowledgement from Google that us Mac users exist!

I’ve tried the Mac OS X version of this, and it makes no sense to me. It seems to run invisibly, and make a sound occasionally, but it doesn’t show in the dock in any way, and it doesn’t seem to have any preferences that you can set. Am I missing something here?
well, same thing as the other one — i think the other app has more features.
I’m on Linux, so we still don’t exist. Thank you Gmail Notifier extension for Firefox!
Gmail Notifier works fine for me. From the description I thought it was going to put itself in the dock but it actually works very much like Gmail Status, except with the added benefit of the header previews. I would have stuck with Gmail Status but mysteriously it stopped being able to retrieve the number of unread mails I had.
