Chorus for HCL Verse Extension

Chorus is a small extension which :

- displays the number of unread messages in your IBM Verse inbox (tooltip also displays authors & subjects of these unread messages)
- provides customizable keyboard shortcuts (open inbox, open calendar, compose mail, sync mail)
- displays detailed email & incoming meeting notifications
- let you start a search directly from any webpage using the chrome address bar. Just type the \"v\" letter following by a space, then type your search.
- v3.0+ no longer works with IBM Verse (only compatible with HCL Verse)
- v3.0+ no longer provide SSO feature for IBMers (aka w3id)

Update 3.1 :
- Introducing the new MiniVerse feature : quickly access to your latest emails or the incoming meeting, without leaving the current tab ! Double-Click on the extension button to bring Verse to front as before. You can also disable the feature from the Settings page.

Update 3.0.1 :
- fixing bug with some meetings notifications which weren't displayed.
- adding a small feature in the Options page to the reset inbox's unread counter (which was stuck to 999+ after the migration of my IBM mailbox to HCL cloud, I assume I'm not the only one)

Important disclaimer : this extension has not been developed by HCL and is not supported by HCL.

com dev (ID: 000000b95c7ef81a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/19/2016 Great extension! Please add privacy options for new email popups, such as to hide senders, subject, and body. Please add timing options for the amount of time the new email popup remains up and visible with "indefinite" being one of the options. Please add options for which folders to show or not to show the new email popups for. Thanks!
