Matt Ellerbrock (ID: 0000009493e9904d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/15/2020 Does it's job. Comes in handy to make sure I'm not missing important emails in both my work and personal email tabs. I started using this extension years ago but it stopped working consistently. Uninstalled, but missed it, seems to be working upon my reinstall. We'll see if that lasts.

Ninjakitten (ID: 0000007fbde1da64) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/05/2018 Does just what it says. I'd love if it could do a little more, but it gets the full five anyway for doing what it says it will, and quite well.
