Hi,

Thanks for posting this, you delivered exactly what I was looking for. Both options are great approaches (I am a Firefox/Greasemonkey user).

While I was looking at the Labs for the Quick Links option I came across Multiple Inboxes (which is probably newer than this post I guess). That gives NO click access and is the route I have chosen on balance.

Any chance you could make a Mark as Unread button to go along with the Gmail labs Mark as Read? Seems such a basic item, but they still have not introduced it.

Than you!

Hi Geoff, probably the 2 most reliable ways to do what you want are:

1. Use GMail's "plus addressing" support. See , e.g., http://cybernetnews.com/2008/02/19/cybernotes-using-gmail-filters/ and look for "plus addressing".

2. Have GMail's mail fetcher retrieve your ohio.edu account to your gmail.com account, and in the process it will apply whatever label you wish. See, e.g., http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/12/screenshots-of-gmails-mail-fetcher.html .

Enjoy.

Cool, thanks, mynameismolotov! That would work for a great many users.

Actually I was aware of the Labs and Quick Link features in GMail (I was with the GMail team at Google) (*). However that is not yet available for Google-Apps-For-Your-Domain users, and that was the original use case I was being asked to help with.

Besides, it's cooler to do hack up a GreaseMonkey script!
