Superb extension. Love the way it reduces Chrome's RAM usage when working with multiple GMail accounts. Since I began using it I have noticed better performance on my CB. Just one more thing can you give us Gmail's file attachment functionality? Otherwise, keep up the fabulous work.

Just what I wanted. Opens a quick panel view of your inbox with one click. One click on email opens it in the panel. also displays compose button and reply buttons, etc. Can also resize the panel. Can also open as a tab or pop-up. Excellent.
