User reviews

This is an absolutely valuable feature. I am surprised this feature is not being offered by other plugins, and/or maintained more. I would support the developer maintaining / improving this app to meet chrome requirements. Would hate to see this go away.

Exactly what I was looking for. As someone with ADHD, email is so overwhelming and the only thing I know that works for me is one task at a time. I was looking for an extension that helped me only soo one email at a time is exactly what I needed and this does just that. Thanks
