And from now on, when you receive a new email, you will get a desktop notification like this.
To get notifications, your Google Chrome browser needs to be opened and you need to be logged in to your Gmail account.
And later on if you decide you don't need these desktop notifications any more, you can simply turn them off, by enabling the Mail notifications off option you can see in step 2 of this tutorial.
