I have been a loyal gCount user for a long time, however, recently I have switched to GmailStatus and I haven't looked back. It seemed with every tiny change on Gmail's side gCount would stop working, and since I use my Gmail account as my primary email address I can't work without a notifier of some sort.To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

Do you prefer this over just keeping Mail.app open and checking every 5 minutes?

Yes, yes I do. Until they offer IMAP on Gmail, I'm sticking with the web interface.

Well gmail is kinda like imap. I have it setup so that it archives my mail after it's downloaded as pop3...so if I ever need to grab that mail and I'm at work, it's all available in the All Maill box on gmail.com
Do you just want folders and stuff in Mail.app? Or are you just worried you cant get all your mail in the webapp?

My reason for using the web interface is also because of no IMAP support. I'd like to have virtual folders that tag the mail when you drag it in (and then show you messages with that tag when you open it).
That being said, I use gmail purely for archival. All messages going to my real address go to both that mailbox and to my gmail account. The only problem is mail.app won't auto-bcc outgoing messages except to yourself. So I can't auto-bcc to gmail also.

What advantages does IMAP have over POP? Gmail will automatically Delete/Archive/Leave in inbox any email sent by POP. The Mail.app interface is certainly a lot better than that of Gmail.

I can't even bring myself to use a program like this. It's annoying. What I use to be notified of new e-mails in my one Gmail account is the Google home page (http://www.google.com/ig). It shows me the five newest e-mails in my inbox if there are any and I can decide whether or not if I want to read them.
For my other Gmail account, though, I use Mail since it's just easier to manage there than online. This way, my two accounts don't get mixed up.

I use Gee, but only because its Growl notice tells me who sent the latest e-mail. Gmail Status just puts a generic bubble up that says "new e-mail", which is pretty worthless. Here's hoping they change that.
