Today I would like to introduce to you an extension that may prove to be helpful after May 21st. The extension is called “Google Mail Checker” and it lives in the extension area of your Chrome browser. Once added this extension will give you a visual cue letting you know that you have new emails. You can also launch Gmail by clicking on the extension making it the fastest way to get into your gmail account.
