Extension summary

I found myself annoyed by the Outlook Web App because one has to actually click on the OWA tab to see if you have any messages. With this extension, one can work in other tabs and know if they have any messages waiting for them or not.

This extension works with the OWA URL format https:///owa/

User reviews

Though there are no settings, works as advertised. Would like the icon color to be Red, or a full icon number to be very obvious that there is a new message in a tab that I otherwise never look at.
