Functional Live Mail or Outlook 2007 Gadget for Windows 7 x64?!

Looking for a functional email gadget for reading Live Mail accounts in Windows 7 x64. I currently have 3 live mail accounts, and it would be great if there is a desktop mail gadget that quickly shows me new mail for just one(or more) of those accounts.

😱 Desired Mail Gadget Features:
• Displays new mail headers
• Displays new mail count
• Fly-out read mail capability
• Checks mail reliably
• Clean easy-to-use interface
• Windows 7 x64 Compatible

:\ Already tried the following from Live Gallery, but they didn't work for me:
• QuickEmail: Does not detect incoming mail, strange interface, and no idea if it works at all.
• Unread Mail: Shows only the "sum" of all your unread mail combined.
• Outlook Info: Icons are too small, compact but hard to read interface.
• MiniInbox Outlook: Does not detect new mail after closing/re-opening Outlook
• Sidebar Outlook: Does not detect new mail after closing/re-opening Outlook
• Wp-Corp Mail Checker: Always display unavailable, author indicates it's for 32-bit only.


Hours of research on G😱gle eventually points me back to the above gadgets. If you know any email gadget or other ways of displaying your mail please feel free to share!

No one out there use destkop mail gadget? or is there a better mail notifier software out there I don't know about?
 
I just use Outlook 2007 to check 2 gmail, 1 hotmail, 1 Att and 1 yahoo accounts which I keep minimized and it lets me know when something new has arrived.
 
For a desktop gadget, I don't have any suggestions.
For an email checker/notifier, etc..., I have been using Digsby for a while now. Keeps track of all kinds of IM, social networking, yadda yadda...
 
I have an email account for personal, one for work, and another that I use for managing deals/online promo spams. The sound cues of new inbox mail becomes less helpful when I need to use multiple email accounts at the same time. I will check out digsby to see what they have in store.
