Top 5 greasemonkey scripts to pimp your new Gmail 2.0
We checked out Shankri-la's linky goodness of 17 new Greasemonkey scripts to bump your new Gmail experience up a notch. Here's our 5 favorites from the list which should add more fabulousness and functionality to your favorite email client.
Gmail Insert HTML Signature 2.0 - inserts up to 2 of your HTML signatures into a Gmail message.
Enhance Gmail - integrates Google Calendar, and Google Chat within Gmail. Removes the annoying invites box, Google user id from the top bar, and the footer.
Gmail Account Multi-Login - the dream script you've been looking for. Allows you to toggle between your Gmail accounts without siging out. Saweet.
FB Gmail - for the Facebook user. Now you can get your FB notifications in Gmail.
Gmail Attachment Reminder - nice Doh! prevention. Reminds you to attach a file to your Gmail if it appears that you have not, based on whether you have the word attach(ed, ment, etc) in the body.
That's our top 5, but you can check out the 12 other useful scripts to make your Gmail experience richer and more productive. Now, if only there was a script to precisely and artfully select the important stuff from the junk. But on second thought, that would pose the much bigger problem of figuring out what to do with all the extra time that would free up while at work.
On third thought, culling through enormous quantities of the good, the bad and the ugly makes us seem so much more productive and oh, the satisfaction you get when emptying your trash.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

First you install the Greasemonkey Firefox extension then oyu add the scripts, which will run everytime you go to that site.

I'd like one that makes the default reply box a "reply to all" box and not just reply.

Gmail Attachment Reminder
That one sounds very useful. Is there a similar thing for Thunderbird?

Dolores,
Thanks for the link love to ShanKri-la! I started out with just a handful of scripts that I use but went on to list 17 scipts. My reasoning: one man's useless script another's treasure! :wink: So, I just listed them all!
I got my first trackback from this inmoneynow.com site possibly scraping DownloadSquad feed! (unless some posts get published elsewhere too.. which I highly doubt) Here is the duplicate post! Thanks to Google Alerts, I found your digg link and got here! I didn't receive a trackback from here for some reason.

Thanks for the great list and for pointing out the scraper. We put the dogs out after em now.

You are welcome, Dolores! There are so many of them with no end in sight though. I just try to report to Google as well if they use Adsense whatever good that does to them, I don't know.

is there a script that will allow me to sort mail in gmail? I don't like labels as much as I like sorting. I like to group email then delete blocks of mail without knowing what I want.
