GMail - Email Notifications
Last Updated 8 years ago
These only work in Chrome. There are extensions for Firefox and IE if you don't want to use Chrome. Just let me know.
This is probably the best extension to use for checking email:

Another option is:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gmail-notifier/dcjichoefijpinlfnjghokpkojhlhkgl?hl=en
You can also get Calendar Notifications and Drive Notifications if you want:
Google Calendar: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/checker-plus-for-google-c/hkhggnncdpfibdhinjiegagmopldibha?hl=en
Google Drive: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/checker-plus-for-google-d/pppfmbnpgflleackdcojndfgpiboghga?hl=en
To install, click "Add to Chrome", then in the pop-up "Add extension". Then you'll see a little email icon on the right side of Chrome. Right-click and go to "Options" and make sure you check "Run in background when Google Chrome is closed".
