Add a Second Inbox to Your Gmail

Great script. I had a label that did the same thing basically but like you said this does it a little better. How would I change the script to only show the unread messages in the work mailbox? Thanks

You can change the script to search for "label:YourLabelName is:unread". That should do the trick for ya.

[...] Ho trovato un bellissimo post sul blog Sitening che descrive come unendo Greasmonkey, uno script js fornito e le labels di Gmail potete facilmente forwardare le mail da un indirizzo esterno al vostro indirizzo GMail e accederci facilmente. L’ho provato e funziona, ora nella mia casella GMail c’ho tutte le mail del lavoro, e passo da un insieme all’altro tramite un tasto. [...]

Why won't this work for me. I've edited the scrpt, adding my labels and email address, but get the message "No messages matched your search. You can broaden your search to include spam and deleted items" in my new inbox and the "ugly" search results, not the nice clean title. Have I missed something?

Sorry, I don't know why it's not working for you, Chris. It's a hard problem to debug without being able to see your inbox.

Tyler - I installed the script and edited it. The buttons appear perfectly. But when I press them, all they do is fill in the relevant string into the search box - but does not actually execute the search. Pls help. (Am relatively new to editing scripts). Many thanks,

[...] Add a second Gmail inbox with Greasemonkey November 22nd, 2006 by Lifehacker Gmail user Tyler Hall started forwarding all his work email to his personal Gmail account and wanted an easy way to view his work inbox and sent mail. So he whipped up a useful Greasemonkey user script called Work Buttons to do just that. Basically the script adds a link to your second addresses' "inbox" and sent mail in the upper bar of the Gmail interface. When clicked, you can see a search of all messages to and from the specified alternate address. To get this working yourself you have to download the script, and add your second address and label. I set it up for Lifehacker's tips email and my personal address and it worked like a charm. The Work Buttons user script is a free download which requires Firefox and the Greasemonkey extension to run. Thanks, Jon! — Gina Trapani Add a Second Inbox to Your Gmail [Sitening] [...]

Thanks, this is the first time I ever tried Greasemonkey & installing a script, and this works great! Nice work.

Mali - I had the same problem. My label had spaces in it. Replace the spaces in the script with hyphens, if you have spaces.

does this hack require that you still forward from one gmail acct to another (and then just automate searching), or does it actually view the inbox of another acct you own? -g

I'm going to echo this question... "does this hack require that you still forward from one gmail acct to another (and then just automate searching), or does it actually view the inbox of another acct you own?" I have no experience with Greasemonkey--I'm just learning--but I imagine that you would HAVE to forward all your work email to your personal account and tag it with a certain label for this script to work, right?

It still relies on you forwarding a second email address to your Gmail account and tagging those emails as such. It automates the search process. You may want to check into Gmail's new POP3 checking feature. You can configure it to pull email from your other accounts automatically.

Hi thanks for the great script...works fine with my G.Monk..., is it possible to get a third inbox? i tried coping and pasting the script in the editor with few parrameters changed reflecting my third gmail a/c..., The buttons show when i reloaded but when i press them, my third gmail a/ct comes into play. even when iam pressing the second a/c buttons,it doesnt show up ....only the third a/c settings defaults....is there a way that we can get my third a/c to get displayed?

Yea, I need way more than three inboxes.. How do I do this?

I installed Greasemonkey I clicked on the link to add the buttons. I have new buttons Where the heck is the script to modify? Thanks Mish

I found the script to modify but it is protected. Thanks Mish

Got it all figured out. Tool Edit greasemonkey select an editor Then I had to change this line in the script document.getElementById("s").firstChild.value = LabelName; It used to say "Label" + LabelName If anyone else is having problems not finding anaything Remove the "Label" + from that line I am working now Mish
