Worked great until entire bodies of emails wouldn't show up within gmail due to them containing my deadname. For some reason, if an email contained my deadname, rather than the deadname being replaced with my preferred name, it would just entirely delete that email. The email preview would show the email itself just fine, and would even replace my deadname with my preferred name there. Overall, great idea, but buggy execution it would seem.

Didn't work :/ Downloaded it, wasn't entirely sure how to set it up. I think I figured it out but then it didn't change anything at all.
