Badge Checker for Gmail

   Download For: | |

Unread emails are displayed with a badge notification (supports multi-account). Badge Checker for Gmail is an add-on that allows you to receive badge notifications for all unread emails in your inbox very quickly.

By default, this plugin sums up all unread emails in all of your Google accounts and displays them as a badge symbol. The badge icon’s tiny text (badge number breakdown) also tells you more about each account.

You can also adjust several options, including the total number of Gmail accounts you have; the time interval for checking your Gmail account, and your default Gmail account to launch when clicking on the toolbar symbol. Please note that this add-on only displays unread emails in your “inbox” folder right now. It does not yet support labels.

It’s important to note that the Badge Checker for Gmail does not belong to or relate to Google Inc in any way.
