en Loving how much better the user interface is with this extension! Much easier to organize, track and work within gmail daily. Question.... one thing I've noticed, when you respond to an email, it's not stacking my response on top of the previous email in the inbox. Is there a setting to show your own responses at the top of the email thread as opposed to going over to sent?

en I've been searching for this type of Gmail UI mod for a long time and love what the developer has done. I'm a paying subscriber to Simplify Gmail and, as a Chrome developer myself, I appreciate the care and detail put into the features. It certainly helps that the developer used to work on the Google Inbox team! Thank you, Michael!

en I consider my Gmail pretty organized. I had auto-labels for lots of things (not everything), nested into top level labels like P1, P2, P3, etc. so that they organized well in my left-hand sidebar. I was reading about Superhuman (super expensive), and what it offers beyond Gmail, and the only thing that really caught my attention was this "splits" idea; dynamic ways that Superhuman splits up items in your inbox so you can more easily digest and deal with what's there. My colleague then said "well if that's all you're really looking for, you should check out Simplify Gmail". I installed the Chrome plugin, and felt instantly shocked by the change, and promptly disabled it. Back to the comfort of my very busy (but very functional) Gmail process. But I kept dipping back in. I toyed with the different widths. Began adjusting the controls that show up for composing new emails. Then I noticed how some emails were being bundled together (like splits), and the bulk actions I could take on those. But I didn't like the way some were in my Important section (I use the Priority Inbox as my base Gmail layout), and some weren't. I was not utilizing my automatic filters correctly. And that's where I started to get really invested. I renamed many of my labels and removed nesting (one small complaint is that the bundle labels are really short before truncation); if my plan is to hide the left-hand sidebar altogether, why nest anything? (though the nesting does give the bundle labels a cool effect of "Parent/Child" as the bundle name). I then peeled through my existing filters to properly categorize the returned items, as well as purposefully choose mark as important or not. I added a ton more filters, until nothing in my inbox was unlabeled (I learnt a lot from the Simplify Gmail bundle tutorial about how to create very workable filter queries). Looking at my inbox now, switching Simplify Gmail off and then on again, the difference is actually quite incredible. I thought I was cooking with gas before, but now we're running on nuclear fusion. I am only 1.5 days into this experiment. I have applied it to my work email and home email (Simplify Gmail privacy policy makes it very clear that it doesn't need to read your email to do what it does). I don't know where I'll be in 30 days, but so far I am beyond impressed. If only my Gmail iphone App worked this way too!
