Gmail Notifier: looking for a replacement

I'd like to find a replacement for the aging Gmail Notifier. Actually, it's always worked well for me but it just won't save the login/password and asks me again on every reboot. Pretty lame I think. :)

There have been threads like this before but they're pretty old, and I haven't really found the right thing while Googling yet.

What I'd like:

• Runs in the systray.
• Alerts on new mail with a sound and a small preview bubble.
• Rightclick ability to preview new messages again; doubleclick to open Gmail in my browser.
• No feature overload if possible...this is strictly for one single Gmail account.
• Simple, self-contained app...no need for .NET or similar runtimes.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd be grateful. :)

I'm actually using Gdow right now. It would be perfect but won't let me re-read new email notifications so if I miss something, I have to open my browser every time.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately this one would require me to keep FF running at all times, which is a no-no.

This is the latest Beta of Gmail Notifier Plus

Great suggestions, thanks a lot everyone :) I'll mark this one solved and try out each program to see which one suits me the best.

Pretty nifty program. The latest release is from 2010 is there an alternative ? Anyone have experience with this one ? The email notifiers for most of the browsers, have their flaws.
