Juggling a personal, a work and a side-project account? Multi Inbox shows unread mail from every Gmail account in a single popup, with a combined badge and desktop notifications — without asking for a single password.
Live demo: the real extension code running on sample data. Click an account to expand it.
A small tool for a common annoyance: Gmail only shows one account at a time, so mail in the others goes unnoticed.
One list with each account's label, color and unread count. Expand an account to see sender, subject and preview of its latest unread mail.
The toolbar icon shows the total unread count across all accounts, and a "!" if one of them needs you to sign in again.
A desktop notification when something new arrives, grouped per account. Click it to jump straight to the conversation.
"Open", "Compose" and every message link land in the correct account, instead of whichever one Gmail considers the default.
Add an address, give it a label and a color, reorder the list. A "Check" button confirms each account is reachable.
No passwords, no tokens, no servers. Mail data never leaves your browser.
Instead of the Gmail API, which needs an OAuth app and Google's security review, the extension reads Gmail's built-in Atom feed using the sessions you are already signed in to.

The extension asks for as little as possible. Nothing is collected, sent anywhere or shared. Read the full privacy policy.
