Recently released for Chrome is an extension called Instant
Notifications for Gmail <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/
adlgnpfgagimgadbaboilkbdnhbpegmd> which watches labels of your choice
or all labels for incoming messages and puts a Growl-like notification
on screen allowing you to act on them. As you know, GMail only
supports notifications for the Inbox. This extension allows the user
to input as many label titles as they would like, separated by commas,
or select all labels.

Mailplane could do this so much better. You could have it as a
preference in Mailplane. You could turn it on and off, it could pull
in the labels for the currently active account and select them
individually or all at once. You could specify an alert sound separate
from the normal one. Growl would do the actual notifying. Click the
Growl notification to go to the message(s) or you could have it star
the message for later reading.

I have used this on Chrome and it works well, but this is internal to
Chrome, so there is no Growl or direct Mac OS X support. Label
notification is one more sorely needed feature in GMail. We also need
message prioritizing, return receipt, etc. If I was writing Mailplane,
and I'm not, I think I would move this to the top of my list of
revisions for a future release.
