If yes, then this simple Chrome Extension is for you. The extension adds a on/off button to your Google Chrome toolbar. When switched on, the extension overrides the Inbox link while in Gmail to a link with your current emails pausing further delivery of emails in your browser. This allows you to address your previous emails with a cool mind without getting disturbed continuously by new email arrivals or the unread count jumping on the Inbox.
