When I activated Offline Gmail recently, this script stopped working, and the icon is always blue whether there is new mail or not. If I disable offline sync, the script functions again.

Feb 14, 2009 8:29am Peter Wooley Script's Author	After a bit of research, I found that Gmail in offline mode uses different Markup than when it is online. I tried to see if there was some obvious reason for this, but I can't seem to. Currently, the script cannot see how many new messages there are (if any), and is defaulting to new mail. I'm hoping to find a common relationship between the changes they've made, which should allow me to find the values in both versions. New script version will be up after I get it figured out.
