Is there an email notifier application that:

• can be found in the Ubuntu repositories (not in a PPA),
• is integrated with the Online Accounts in Unity,
• shows notifications in message bubbles in the top right corner in Unity (dunno how it's called),
• is integrated with the Messaging Menu in Unity?

Unfortunately I didn't find any so far and Online Accounts support would be important for me.

IF you really want UOA integration then you should try Evolution (& evolution-indicator plugin). Otherwise Unity-Mail has most of the required features.

Unity Mail

Launchpad:

With Unity Mail we can handle multiple gmail accounts. You will get an OSD notification whenever you receive a new mail showing the sender, and the subject of a mail.

In addition it adds a launcher icon to display the count of unread messages, integrates with the mail indicator to turn it blue, and displays a list of mails in the drop down menu there.

Install it using:

sudo apt-get install unity-mail

Evolution

• Has messaging menu support
• Show notification bubble
• Integrated with Ubuntu Online Accounts
• no ppa

Install it with following command:

sudo apt-get install evolution evolution-indicator
