[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1558111, member: 71075"] You can cobble together a solution for this as I did when notifications were introduced. I setup cron to check GMail every ten minutes through a Python script and if there were unread emails in my inbox, I had [URL="https://github.com/alloy/terminal-notifier"]terminal-notifier[/URL] create a notification. That's likely a little convoluted and involves some knowledge of more advanced techniques so if what I just said looks like a foreign language to you, ignore it. ;) You may want to see if Safari has a check GMail extension. There's one [URL="http://elix14.altervista.org/"]here[/URL] but unfortunately, it doesn't look like it creates notifications. As for the notifications in Safari, they can be triggered from websites but they have to be coded by the website developers. Apple has thus made the functionality possible but it's up to developers to build it in (that's what I gather from what I've read). [/QUOTE]
