Funnily enough I did just that, for the same reasons (You want what?! a full-blown MySQL production server just to notify me about email? YDIW.) and wrote it up here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-945868.html I don't use gmail, but I'd take a look at using it via IMAP if I were you. I understand mutt is excellent for that. Feel free to let us know how you get on in the forum post, too, as it would be good to have various setups written-up, and the problems encountered along the way outlined for others.
