As said: I'm looking for a really simple tray notifier that supports gmail, and it needs to work in fluxbox. I'm having no luck with the package search, since with most stuff I can't tell if it'll work with gmail.

You probably want CheckGmail.

It looks really cool, but it seems to be broken.

How is it broken? It works for me.

For me, not so much. Judging by the comments in the AUR, it seems I'm not the only one.

CheckGmail requires the above packages for password encryption
Please download and install from CPAN (http://search.cpan.org) if you want to use this feature ...
XMLin() requires either XML::SAX or XML::Parser at /usr/bin/checkgmail line 3603

You just lack some packages:
try:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::Simple'
and:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Crypt::SSLeay'
works fine for me too.. made me toss evolution again.

I'm aware that I "lack some packages". However, with a package manager that does dependency checking, lacking packages after installing is kind of the definition of "broken", eh?

indeed, it does. Since perl-xml-simple and perl-net-ssleay are in the arch package repository (current and extra).
But it actually has a depend on them, and i always thought xml::parser is installed with xml-simple.
What it's definitly lacking on are the encryption modules (wrote it in the package description)

Ability is nothing without opportunity.

This is weird. According to "perl -MCPAN" both XML::Parser and XML::SAX are up to date, but checkgmail still fails with
XMLin() requires either XML::SAX or XML::Parser at /usr/bin/checkgmail line 3603
A thread exited while 2 threads were running
Do I need to relogin for perl to be aware of these packages or something?

xbuffy works with gmail. I made a package for it sometime ago, it is still on AUR.
However, it's not really a tray notifier, but usually sits on the desktop.
Quick notes on its usage are here.
However, I'm not sure if it will be what you're looking for, because as I said, it's not a tray notifier.
