Miggs asks:
I need a Chrome extension similar to WebMail Notifier from Firefox in terms of stability and being bug free. I want it to “just work”. I’m a Linux user and everything I tried so far was either buggy or useless.

A Simple Hotmail Notifier Extension Released

Hotmail Notifier Extension Features
1)Displays unread emails in your hotmail inbox on the toolstrip
2)View the list of Folders in your Account by clicking on the extension icon
One thing has to be kept in mind that for the extension to work you need to first login to Hotmail as you usually do in Google Chrome.

Yahoo Mail Informer is a Chrome extension which notifies you when a new mail arrives in to your Yahoo Mail Inbox. It gives a handy popup as soon as a mail comes. The service is available even after you have closed the tab after logging into Yahoo Mail.

As I said I’m using a Linux distribution so the first two options fall.

PopTray 3.0
http://www.poptray.org/
Lenik Terenin has re-written the original Windows utility PopTray to fill his needs for a suitable GNU/Linux mail notifier – hence the name: PopTray Minus. PopTray Minus is written in Python using PyQt4 GUI libraries which comes with most Linux distributions from the box.
PopTray Minus…
stays in the tray
checks message headers in my POP3 mailboxes
applies basic filters based on from/to/subj contents
allows a sneak peek to preview the message body
has a very handy delete button to manually remove unwanted messages
PopTray Minus works just fine with GNOME as well as with KDE. Mac OS X and Windows are also supported but not tested yet.
