This is my very favorite Gmail Greasemonkey script. I'd REALLY appreciate it if it could be updated for the new Gmail? I've been missing it more than any other script!

I know I can use it with the Old Version, but it's a pain switching back to that every time I login. Much appreciated, and thanks for a great, useful feature. I wish Google had the sense to build it in as an option.

I like this script. Thank you.
One suggestion: Make a similar script with "Mark all read": automatically select all unread messages and mark them read, then unselect them again.

I wasn't sure if it was firefox or google the broke this script, but it appears others are seeing a similar problem due to gmail 2. Any word on an update or quick fix?

Doesn't seem to be working with Gmail 2.0

Ideas? Updates?

Yep, I get the same as Sam...X does not work, mouse check does...

 
Sam Tyson User

using the shortcut key X to tag a message did not enable the Mark Unread button

Hello everyone! Is it possible to make this button mark all unreaded messages as read, and then unmark all messages again? So with one single click we'd got it!

Works like a charm and saves so much time :) Thanks a lot Chenxin for this :)

Works like a charm (XP,1.5.0.3).

I save countless precious seconds using this script to mark my messages. Why doesnt Google just figure it out that we want MORE BUTTONS in Gmail? Perhaps in the future they could just have a "customized buttons" panel in the gmail settings?

oh, what a lovely timing I have, don't I? :-D sorry for the useless message then (wish there was a way to remove it)

Google broke it again :-) they seem to have cleaned up their DOM a bit... I have a working update at http://lalo.revisioncontrol.net/crossfire/gmail... -- I'm still planning to work on it a bit unless Chenxin Li beats me to it, but it mostly works. (It doesn't display on individual messages, I don't remember if it used to).

I'd like to add a shortcut key too... I'll probably copy code from Read/Unread Button (which I also tried to fix, but was too hopeless -- the code of this script is much more tractable).

Thank you!

Thanks very much for the update. Works beautifully!

Sorry guys. Somehow the old script as well as you guys' comments got deleted during the update of my script. I guess it is because I changed my namespace.
