One Click Conversations for Gmail

Access recent conversations in one painless click.

About
This is a hybrid release, meant to function during the transition from Gmail V1 -> Gmail V2. As of 12/14/07, there are still lots of users not using V2, and as far as I know, Google Apps for your Domain hasn't been updated yet to support the new Gmail V2 features.

Features:
+ Adds icon just to the left of sender name in list view and in message view
+ Clicking on icon takes you to the recent conversations with that user

GMail Version 2 Only:
+ Option-clicking the icon searches for all messages from the sender's domain. This is useful for the pile of old mailing lists/notifications that come from [random]@domain.com

GMail Version 1 Only:
+ Rolling over icon in message view pops up menu, as found via the "quick contacts" panel
+ Adds "Recent Conversations" item to pull down menu in the message view.

Requirements:
+ For GMail V1, view must be set to "standard with chat"

Testing:
+ Works with Firefox 2.0 with Greasemonkey, or with a current version of Opera, for Mac or PC.

Version History:
1.0 - 12.29.2006 - Initial Release
1.1.0 - 12.30.2006 - One bug fix turned into major restructuring.
1.1.1 - 01.17.2007 - Checks if chat is enabled to prevent icons from showing up without any functionality.
1.1.2 - 04.06.2007 - I changed the name from Quicker Contacts to One Click Conversations -- a name that better describes what the main use of this script is.
1.1.3 - 04.19.2007 - The script now alerts you if chat isn't enabled, and provides a link to enable it.
1.2.0 - 06.20.2007 - Fixed logic after google changed their code.
- Added rollover image to icon as well as tooltip, to make it more obvious that it's clickable.

1.2.1 - 07.03.2007 - Fixed slight bug which occurred when clicking "Expand All" in message view.
- Changed XPath function to allow Opera Support.
- Fixed bug (due to changed Google code) so clicking on the icon wouldn't pull up messages to and from yourself in the case of multiple replies.
1.2.2 - 08.28.2007 - Added more event listeners to ensure that icons get reapplied after an event (deleting a message, for instance).
2.0 - 12.14.2007 - Rewrote script to add support for GMail V2, using Google's API.

I rarely check this page. Please submit comments to the One Click Conversations project page.

Well, it looks like Google changed their interface, and removed a vital piece of information that One Click needs in order to work properly in list view. I'm looking for a work around, and am going to send an email into the Google abyss inquiring. Hopefully I can get something working shortly.

Not working. For me, when I click the icon for the one-click conversations, it shows every single message. The search bar as from:() OR to:() populated in it. Looks like it's not picking up the email for the individual of the conversation I'm clicking...

very useful, thanks!

i had a bit of a hard time finding the icon. it would be great if you added it to the description just so a new user knows what they're looking for!
