From the "System" menu select "Preferences" then "Sessions"

You'll see a list of apps that will "autorun" when you login to your
session. Add whatever you want (Gmail, etc) to the list.

Not as easy as Drag-n-Drop to the "Startup" folder on Windows but it not too
difficult and it gets the job done.

And definitely not as good as self starting viri, spyware and malware that
starts up with your application from numerous undocumented places, that
then self spawn other processes that monitor each other such that if an
anti-viri program you paid several hundred dollars for tried to knock one
of its companions off, then each will spawn another making the whole thing
futile. More viri are released per day than security fixes making security
software utterly futile.

You'llhave to figure out the name, and maybe the location, of the
program. I'd thing it would be something like *gnotify*, or maybe
*gmail-notify*, but I don't know that for a fact.

You can try typing the following on the commandline to see if that's
correct, and get a path at the same time if it is:

which gnotify

Otherwise, you might have to edit the menu to see what it's called.

That's the 'problem' with having so much power in GNU/Linux. There's a GUI
route for all of this (even in KDE), but people are typically pointed in the
CLI route, which is quicker and more versatile. For new users, whatever is
recommended in the form of a command typically has a mouse-based equivalent
and the CLI repels new users.

Consider gnubiff as an applet. It's much better and more flexible.
