ad 468x60

sudo apt-get install checkgmail

即可。这个比下面的 gmail-notify 功能更多一些，可以直接查看最近的一些邮件，发信等等。

二、gmail-notify

sudo apt-get install gmail-notify

更适合等信。

三、直接用 livebookmark 订阅自己的邮箱，只要有firefox就可以了，win 下也可如此。我以前主要用这种方式。

https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom

BTW:建立 checkmail 菜单操作如下

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/checkgmail.desktop

内容如下：

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=CheckGmail
Exec=checkgmail
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Icon=
Categories=Application;Network;

然后刷新 gnome 菜单

sudo killall gnome-panel

checkgmail 的图标图片在 gmail 图标可以找到。

How do I play a sound when new mail arrives?

Enter a command in the “Command to execute on new mail” section in the preferences. For example, to play a WAV sound, you could use

aplay /path/to/mysound.wav
What else can the “Command to execute on new mail” do?

Well, it can do whatever you want. I use it to turn on my laptop’s dedicated mail LED light:

echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/mled

but anyone with the Blinkd software package installed could get their numlock or scroll-lock lights to blink with

blink –numlock –rate %m

What’s that ‘%m’ thing doing there? Well, that’s a new feature of version 1.10.1, and represents the number of new messages. Which means that in the example above your numlock LED will blink with the number of new messages. It’s gimmicky, I know (and there’s no way I could live with it personally) … but you’ve gotta admit, it’s kinda cool!

If you’re going to turn an LED on, though, you’ll also want to turn it off - and that’s why there’s also a “Command to execute for no mail” option. In the example above, you’ll want something like

blink –numlock –rate 0

And of course, you can combine options together by using semicolons, for example:

aplay /path/to/mysound.wav; blink –numlock –rate %m

The whole idea is to be as extensible here as possible, and recognise that not everyone wants a sound to play when new mail arrives, but they might want something else to happen instead …
