I have given up on Gmail notifier because for some reason it just doesn't work and I have tried all that I know how. Therefore I tried out the Google Talk desktop client, which has a built in Gmail notifier. I am liking this client, I just wish I could talk to my AIM buddies through it, like I could while checking my mail on Gmail.com.

Hi Alex,I am using Digsby which is a mutli-protocol instant messenger. It lets you chat with friends from pretty much all messengers (Yahoo, MSN, AIM GTalk etc etc) all from a single program. I just checked and it has email notification features as well. By the way it also lets you check and even reply to the emails without opening the browser.Digsby website: http://www.digsby.com

You can't add AIM contacts to the desktop GTalk client. You can only add them to GTalk on the Gmail interface. Stupid I know but that's just the way it is right now.
