Gmail Notifier Plus is a small Windows 7 utility. It rests in the new Windows 7 taskbar and allows you to easily access several components of Gmail quickly. It notifies you when you have new email in your Gmail account through a notification on its taskbar button. It uses Gmail’s secured RSS feed to retrieve mail.

The notifier has two major features that make it a good implementation into the new taskbar.

Jumplist Access: Right clicking on the Gmail Notifier Plus icon will bring up a jumplist that lists your most recent unread messages. A counter is shown at the top but the jumplist only allows for 10 maximum titles to be displayed.

Message Preview: If you hover mouse cursor over the icon, it will activate thumbnail previews that show an excerpt of your unread mail. It makes great use of the thumbnail feature to display other alerts as well.
