The latest version of the Better Gmail 2 Firefox add-on boasts a useful new feature: a summary panel of unread email grouped by sender, as shown above. In version 0.9 of the add-on, check off the "Summarize Unread Messages by Sender" checkbox (on the General tab) to see a listing like this one above your inbox, or any label or search result listing. Click on any name with the number of messages next to it to filter down to just those messages. This new user script is courtesy of developer Winston Teo, who explains how he uses this grouping to clear out his Gmail inbox.
Also new in version 0.9: a disabled-by-default "Support This Add-on via Amazon" option. When you opt into that feature, your purchases at Amazon kick back a small referral fee that helps support development on all the Better add-ons. Thanks in advance for your willingness to check that box. See the rest of the changelog or just download Better Gmail 2 version 0.9 here.
Better Gmail 2 Mailing List Now Available · Last week when Google made changes to Gmail that broke the Better Gmail 2 extension which I maintain, users were freaking out about their spam count showing and hierarchical labels not working and emailing me personally to demand to know when it would be fixed. I happened to be across the country attending a family funeral at the time, so it was nearly impossible to communicate to everyone individually that I'd get to it as soon as I could. To avoid having that lovely experience again, I've created a mailing list for Better Gmail 2, the central place for users and developers to powwow and troubleshoot issues collectively. If you're using the extension and have burning questions or tech support issues, that's the place to go from here on in. · March 9th, 2009, 4 comments
