Mail timer for GMail Extension

This is a time-saving script I wrote to help me process my inbox faster. After 2 minutes spent on an email in your inbox, it pops up a reminder message to move on. (And when you have less than 30 seconds left, it shows a \"30\" icon in the browser bar to nudge you along.)

Great for quickly clearing your inbox for things like Getting Things Done (GTD.)

It's quite basic, but if you like it and use it, I'm happy to make improvements.

Update: Now you can choose how much time per email you want to spend.

רועי ה (ID: 000000b0a3eb16b7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/13/2015 עושה את העבודה. לאחר הגדרות מלוח התוספים מתריע כשנמצאים במייל יותר מהזמן הדרוש. אהבתי.

Florian Haas (ID: 000000532ecc04f9) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/12/2014 Sadly, this pops up the timer when the GMail tab isn't in the foreground. That means I'm being reminded of my email when I'm not doing email, and that causes more disruption than benefit to my workflow.

Nathan Mackenzie Brown (ID: 000000253a3b6f3e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/31/2013 When I first started using the plugin it didn't work until I restarted Chrome. It would have been nice to know I needed to restart Chrome. I love the functionality in my inbox, but I also have set up filters to segregate my work and my personal inboxes. The problem with this for the mail timer is that my inboxes that are labels don't work with the timer. I'd give this a 5 star if these two things got fixed.
