What's the point? How many people actually keep fewer than 10k unread messages in their inbox?
I'm tidy. I don't have any. My wife on the other hand...
I think you either have 0 or 10K+.

#12Huzzah, now I don't need this extension to do this for me. Rather off topic, but I really wish one day that gmail (@gmail.com and custom domains) supported multiple logins from the same window, I have Opera installed just for company email.
They support it, although it is tricky to set up and it sometimes gets confused if you have to sign into ancillary Google services with your secondary account.
I am always signed into my personal account in one pinned tab and my apps account in another. The secret is in the gmail URL, specifically the /u/0/ in the URL. It turns out you can switch the number and be able to sign in multiple times. This may only work after you have enabled the multiple sign on that you can find with a quick search.
Lifehacker covered this fairly recently.

#15Appears to be based on this code: http://snipplr.com/view/29188/ EDIT: actually, it might or might not be based on it, but that code shows how to implement dynamic favicons, at least for Google Chrome. Another edit: MikeCapone observed in another comment that it only goes up to "30+" so they might just be using 30 static images. But if so, why that wouldn't work in browsers other than Chrome 6+ and Firefox 2+ is beyo…
Just guessing, but it's probably because most browsers heavily cache the favicon image.

#16What's the point? How many people actually keep fewer than 10k unread messages in their inbox?
I have none. I have a complex series of filters which direct mailing lists, automated emails, etc into separate labels which bypass the inbox. If it makes it to my inbox, it's important enough to be read quickly -- this generally means only about 50-100 emails a day.

Multiple inboxes and filters are from Heaven. Pretty sure that my unread message count is directly related to how busy/crazy my life is at the moment.

#18I was excited but it seems slower than to update. Ugh.

If you use Priority Inbox it will show you the number of unread messages in that, not in your normal inbox.

#20I find the 'unread messages count' to be extremely distracting when I'm trying to actually get real work done.
Through the corner of my eye, I'm constantly glancing and thinking: did it just increment?
Just keep your email closed until you get stuck on that hard problem, ha.
