Popper - email Notification now has a PPA

My favorite email notification for Ubuntu has finally got a PPA.

First uninstall any older version of Popper:

$ sudo aptitude remove popper

Add the PPA to you package source:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ralf.hersel/rhersel-ppa

Update the repository:

$ sudo aptitude update

And finally install popper:

$ sudo aptitude install popper 

Make Gmail the default mail application

It always annoys me went I press a link and I get evolution mail client opening up. If you are like me and only uses web base mail clients and particularly you use Gmail this may be of help

Gnome Gmail does just that for you. It add support for making Gmail the default mail application for the Gnome desktop.

Once you install it make sure you go to:

System > Preferences > Preferred Applications

And choose Gmail as you default "Mail Reader"
