New Message Count

You can easily make CheckGmail use Ubuntu's new notification system with the command: if [ %m = 1 ] ; then mess="Message"; else mess="Messages"; fi; notify-send "You Have %m New $mess" -i ~/.icons/gmail-on.png
The problem is, checkgmail stops counting after 20. Please allow it to count more then 20 new messages.
Sorry, that's an issue with the Atom feed -- it only reports the last 20 unread messages. I could do more datapack reverse engineering and grab all the unread mail that way, I guess ... but Atom feeds are much easier, don't break and most people don't have more than 20 unread messages ...
