  • provides customizable keyboard shortcuts (open inbox, open calendar, compose mail, sync mail)
  • displays detailed email & incoming meeting notifications
  • let you start a search directly from any webpage using the chrome address bar. Just type the "v" letter following by a space, then type your search.

  • fixing bug with some meetings notifications which weren't displayed.
  • adding a small feature in the Options page to the reset inbox's unread counter (which was stuck to 999+ after the migration of my IBM mailbox to HCL cloud, I assume I'm not the only one)

Fellow IBMer. This extension is indispensable. Thank you :)

Great extension! Please add privacy options for new email popups, such as to hide senders, subject, and body. Please add timing options for the amount of time the new email popup remains up and visible with "indefinite" being one of the options. Please add options for which folders to show or not to show the new email popups for. Thanks!

Great little tool. I used this for almost a year now, there was a small issue at the beginning but nothing since.
