GMailWatcher is a simple yet a very useful application which lets you read e-mails that are fetched from your current G-mail account. It runs in the notification area and lets you know when new mails arrive automatically. A cool thing about it is that whenever a new message arrives it shows a preview of your inbox as well.
For extra security you can integrate it with Gnome-Keyring password manager. It also supports audio notifications and lets you set intervals for downloading/checking new mails + the GMailWatcher fully supports multiple g-mail accounts as well.
