GmailAssistant 1.0: Free Java notifier for multiple Gmail accounts
GmailAssistant 1.0 is a Java-coded, desktop-based, taskbar-seated notifier for multiple Gmail accounts. We are always looking for ways to check Gmail without having to open a web browser. For one, it saves time. For two, it allows users who aren't comfortable with web-based email to feel more at home. For three, most desktop based Gmail checkers allow you to keep tabs on multiple Gmail accounts at one time. In these regards and more, GmailAssistant 1.0 is a new, and a nice, addition to the family.
The program uses a secure connection (IMAP over SSL) to connect to your Gmail accounts. GmailAssistant was written in Java, which gives it two advantages: it will run on pretty much any OS, and it doesn't require installation. Instead, a simple double-click on the JAR file will get the program up and running.
Customization of the GmailAssistant abounds. You can choose which alerts to use to notify you of new mail (popup, alert chime, etc...), which labels and inboxes to keep an eye on, colors to distinguish your different mail accounts, and more.
GmailAssistant is free, open source, and requires the Java Runtime Enivronment (JRE 6+).

Another more useful way to check multiple Gmail accounts without using a browser is to use an email client like thunderbird since Gmail gives free pop3 access.
