I need the exact opposite -- something to help me avoid checking email constantly throughout the day. :) Thankfully it has a mute feature.

Great extension that lets you check and manage gmail without opening up gmail.com. Great for when you're out of gmail and want to check/archive new emails, email the page you're currently on, etc.

Ha, good point. Although if you're going to check email, it can help to use an app like this that minimizes the disruption.

great extension. a little too packed with options

This may have just changed my life. I’ll have to try it for a couple of days, but it might just have solved my “too many email addresses, too many tabs” problem.

Great extension that I use on my work CPU. Allows me to see new emails that come in for work and personal gmail accounts. Can quickly check/delete/archive/reply emails that I want to without having to open new tabs or windows.
