My recent article on Google's new email client got a lot of views, indicating your interest in the service. However, in the comments, some readers complained about the lack of a number of features in Inbox that they are used to in Gmail. Therefore, I have put together for you some useful extensions that solve similar problems.

Gmelius

We have known the Gmelius extension for a long time and even devoted a separate review to it. A special version for Inbox adds to this mail service additional features that are so beloved by users of Gmail. After installing it, you will immediately notice that an indicator of unread messages has appeared on the Inbox tab and icon. But a much more significant feature is the ability to use a personal signature that you set up earlier in Gmail. In addition, in the Gmelius options, there are a number of options available to customize the appearance and behavior of the Inbox.

Google Inbox Checker

This is a very simple extension that adds an Inbox icon with an indicator of unread messages to the browser toolbar. The appearance of new correspondence can also be accompanied by a pop-up notification and a sound signal.

Power Google Inbox

Many Inbox users can't get used to the overly sweeping design of this service. Indeed, its interface was designed, it seems, with the expectation of controlling not with a nimble mouse cursor, but with thick fingers. With the Power Google Inbox extension, you can fix this flaw and make your Inbox look more compact.

GIFUC

An extremely simple but useful extension that comes in handy if you are used to pinning the Inbox tab. After installing GIFUC, a red number will appear on the favicon of the minimized tab, indicating the number of new messages in the Inbox folder. One glance at the icon will be enough for you to know about the appearance of new correspondence.

Background for Inbox

If you use the service all the time, several times a day, then it is desirable that its appearance be enjoyable. With this extension, you can set any image as the background of the email client page or activate the fill with your favorite color. A trifle, but nice.

I hope that among the extensions presented in this review you will find something useful for yourself and will be able to make Inbox even more convenient, fast and beautiful. And if you have your own secrets of setting up this mail service, then I suggest you share them in the comments.
