There's also the GMail Notifier which is slightly different (not a gadget) but I find it more convenient as it's always visible so I can see unread mail at a glance.. and doesn't get in front of anything either

It's been in Beta since about 2006 but works fine in Vista/7, just Google are moving towards HTML 5 doing everything I think.

As above i've been using the Gmail Notifier for years and it works a treat

Out of interest, which of the many Hotmail gadgets do you guys recommend?
