DEPRECATED

This script was written before Gmail 2. X4lldux has written an updated and improved version of this script, which you probably want to use instead of this one.

How to Use

Instructions

Right-click on the Greasemonkey monkey-face to access the "User Script Commands" menu. Select the "Set list of Gmail labels to hide" menu item.

At the prompt, type in the list of Gmail labels you want to hide, separated by the "|" (pipe) character.

Example

MyLabel|AnotherLabel|Drafts|Starred|YetAnotherLabel

Known Bugs

  1. Sometimes the labels don't hide themselves when you open a message. I haven't yet investigated why this is happening.
