Oh no, I thought this was exactly what I was looking for, but I would like it to be able to flag emails that I haven't responded to yet in a few days or so..anyone done a modification to that?

Yup. I wrote a version to do this when Fred Wilson requested it a little over a year ago and I realized I needed it too: https://script.google.com/d/1B8YC4D7KT7pZKXyq3TkfJUJPv1mmjZj...

Matt Galligan and I put together a version of the No Response Apps Script back in June also. It's more basic than this, but might be easier as a starting point for modification. https://script.google.com/d/11c63LM4rOTxCP5uqffLDhIaEQFmNo0p...

I've been loving Apps Script for things that are too lightweight to need something like Boomerang, with a server and a full browser extension, but heavy enough that you can't do it with a search string.

Awesome, thanks! I just found out about google Script today - was thinking my only choice would be something like Greasemonkey - so very grateful for all this.

Ah, I thought it would be the other way around. Before I send a mail, I click 'expect reply'. If I don't get a reply in x days, I get a notice. Is that a current option?

Boomerang for Gmail [0] has implemented this functionality well. I prefer it to say having an entire folder of emails I haven't received replies on as it allows me to specifically manage messages that are important enough to require a non-replied reminder. [0] http://www.boomeranggmail.com/

I like http://toolbox.mxhero.com, It's free for unlimited messages and also does interesting things with attachments and a few other features I find useful. They also have an open source version http://sourceforge.net/projects/mxhero/?source=navbar

Yesware is an interesting option. Try it out. Haven't touched boomerang or followup.cc since discovering it. There is that privacy/security issue though. I always look at web based email as being inherently insecure anyway.

I tried all 3 and settled on http://toolbox.mxhero.com. I like that they also have an open source version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mxhero/?
