Firefox WebMail Notifier
Users who prefer webmail email services like Gmail, Yahoo Mail or Live Mail over desktop email software programs face a problem that desktop users do not have. They have to visit the website of the mail service to check if new emails have been received since the last visit which can be especially problematic for users with multiple accounts at different email providers. So called notifiers try to solve the problem by notifying the user in the web browser or on the computer desktop. The benefit is that the users do not have to log into the webmail interface or keep it open permanently to check for new mails.
Webmail Notifier is without doubt one of the most popular Firefox email notification add-ons. It supports a wide variety of email services with some already build into the add-on and others available as userscripts.
