Here are 5 unique ways u can check ur gmail account



[Only for Internet Explorer] Download the Google Toolbar 4. Add the Gmail custom button from the Toolbar Gallery.


2. [Browser] Create a personalized homepage at http://google.com/ig and add a Gmail module.


3. [Only for Windows. Requires download.] Get Google Talk and you'll be notified in the system tray if you have new mails from Gmail. You will also see a snippet from the messages.

4. [Only for Windows. Requires download.] Get Google Desktop, enter your username and password in the settings and enable the sidebar view. You can also filter your mail and create alerts. Desktop can also index your mail to search it offline.


5. [Very fast] Visit m.gmail.com, the Gmail for mobile page. You will see a simple page, without Javascript, that lets check your mail really fast.

Other ways:
[Firefox] Gmail Manager is a nice Firefox extension that allows you to manage multiple Gmail accounts.

[Mac, Windows] Google Notifier displays an icon in your system tray to let you know if you have unread Gmail messages, and shows you their subjects, senders and snippets. It's similar to Google Talk's functionality.

Nice fast ways to check mail !! Though i don't have a gmail account but liked them. Hotmail should implement something similar.

Switching to the basic html view also speeds up the process.

I use Gmail Manager for notifications, and the standard Gmail view (AJAX) for viewing my mails...

I too use Opera's mail client to view my mail and for notifications. Its quite fast and gets the job done quite well. It really rocks.

But if you have configured more than one account in Opera's M2 client, it displayed all your eMails together and there is no way of sorting it based on the different accounts. This really bugs me and renders it pretty much unusable for me. :(
I prefer Microsoft Outlook.
