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 using Gmail view (AJAX) because thunderbird is not working for me in linux. for windows i use Outlook 2003 & sp2 to check mail every 10min.i don't think i need a notifier.

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.
