* If a new message is received, a small pop up (or growl notification on Mac) will pop up showing who the message is from.
* If there is more than 1 new message received, the pop up will show the total new messages received.

Checks Messages and Chat!
by bandit
What I found useful:
This Jetpack not only checks for new email messages, but also for new chat messages if you use the built-in Gmail Chat.
What I would improve:
Make it more awesome!

Good Notifications
by azaraskin
What I found useful:
Quickly and easily lets me see how far behind in my inbox queue I am, and efficiently adds more guilt when I see the notifications as the new emails come in.
What I would improve:
When you have more than 100 new emails, the characters in the inbox count get cut off.

Not installed
by gaby2300
What I found useful:
I hope to find it useful if and when I install it
What I would improve:
Are you aware of the warning that appears when you click install? Is it a joke? Is this jetpack actually safe?
Comments:
I would appreciate your reply as soon as you can to be able to try it!

"Official" version is broken
by gsmoffln
What I found useful:
A very nice feature set! Not annoying. Title preview. Chat notifications. A shortcut to focus the gmail tab in background (others just open a new tab). Unread message counter.
What I would improve:
Would like an auto-login feature; configurable multiple accounts, configurable timeouts would be nice.
Comments:
The version here is broken. Version 0.5 from the author's site Just Works.
