paeonia321 Z (ID: 0000003e47c3e945) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/30/2019 Was expecting it to show the newmail count on the extension icon, like other extensions do, especially Checker Plus for Gmail. It doesn't work unless you keep the Fastmail page open...so what's the point?

Nick Speare (ID: 000000184962feaf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/26/2016 I agree with the other reviewer. Great extension, very simple, does the job. I would probably prefer that it only show the # of unread msgs in JUST the inbox (instead of all folders) but that's not a deal-breaker.

Felipe Dias (ID: 000000521122a132) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/03/2016 I'll be the first to comment. This is a simple, but very useful extension, especially if you Pin your FastMail tab, then you wouldn't be able to see the unread messages count unless you have this. Another thing I noticed is that it sums the unread messages from folders as well, where current FastMail will only show unread count on tab for the inbox unread messages. This makes the extension even better. Thanks a lot! P.S. A little suggestion is to make a nicer looking icon/number, but other than that is perfect!
