Gmail: New in Label

Show count of new conversations since a label was last viewed.

v1.4: Changes the Label box so it shows the number of new messages for a Label instead the total number of unread messasges.

This doesn't work w/ Gmail 2, do you have an update for this script?

This changes the value of the unread count in the Labels side bar. This is most useful for if you apply lables based on which mailing list you have subscribed to that are a medium to high volume lists where you only care about a fraction of the conversations on the list. Instead of the unread count meaning "#### conversations with unread messages" it means "## conversations with unread messages since you last viewed that label".

Just uploaded version 1.4 which not only fixes for the recent Gmail changes but changes the way the script injects itself so that it should handle future changes to gmail.

Just uploaded version 1.3 which fixes the issue mentioned in my April 28th comment.

In late April 2006 Google added a new way that they update the Label unread message count. You may notice this when Gmail has been idle for a while. I'll work on a fix when I get some spare time in the near future.
