GmailX Script serving X-notifier (Reloaded) 3.x for Firefox

By jeroen , 10 February 2019

I can offer my solution for Gmail Primary Inbox Only notification, but choose to do so by adding a separate (renamed) Gmail script.Because I don't want to cause a conflict with the in X-notifier (Reloaded) 3.x package included Gmail script... for certain XN users.

This one is named GmailX. After download:

X-notifier 3.x for Firefox (deprecated)

Thank you very much

De nada :-)

Yes, thank you, I've been

Yes, thank you, I've been unable to check my gmail automatialy for too long now... I wish that updates came faster, especially with major providers such as gmail.

Good Job, Thanks!

Hi,

It asks for a password when I try to import it.

Not Import, but Scripts button

Assuming you indeed are using Firefox vs 3.x, click the Scripts button to add the script.

Sorry

Didn't see the scripts button before. It's working now, thanks.

No need

I should be clear in my instructions: updated, thanks to you ;-)

Category counts

Present (2019-02-25) GmailX script shows the category (=smartlabel) counts in the X-notifier window and sidebar. If you want that feature you can download the updated script from the top post of this thread. (Other user-defined label counts are not showing yet).

Thank you.

Will X-notifier reloaded be updated with this (or can i just put the script in the xpi using a zip archiver)?

Best regards

I may just be my impression,

but it looks like GmailX + 1 open Gmail tab generates a heavy CPU usage (using PaleMoon x64, latest version).

Reverted to the old version

2019-11-26 version

Just installed latest (2019-11-26) from link above and it's not working for Gmail. For the last few months I kept looking here for someone else to report it's no more working but maybe we are not many left using this old version. I keep using it only because of user scripts and haven't found an alternative yet. The closest program that could possibly work would be Rambox but it's not the same, it's like have multiple tab opens all at the same time but whatever.

So, any chance to have this one working again for Gmail? I check 3 accounts and none works.

Question

Roboto, are you in France? (I see one download in France today on bit.ly)

No but could french may be

No but could french may be the problem why it's no more working for me?

No

No. I just meant to let you know the latest releases could not be a solution to your problem.

Alternatives

Roboto, you probably don't want to use them, but the alternatives (and up-to-date ones) are Chrome and chromium-based Edge and other browsers for which X-Notifier 4.x still supports user-loaded custom scripts.

X-notifier 3.x: Label Counts & Old Inbox Count (No Tabs)

GmailX script (dated 2020-07-24) for X-notifier 3.x

User-defined Label counts
Inbox without the Category Tabs

'Notify inbox only' showing Label counts

InboxOnly showed a label count, because the message was both Inbox and Label... and I kept showing that in the XN-icon Gmail account popup. Now fixed: not showing any label counts with option 'Notify inbox only' checked.

X-notifier 3.x: Category Counts

GmailX script (dated 2020-07-25) for X-notifier 3.x

I corrected the Category unread counts: simplified it by showing all counts>0 instead of only the configured ones (the tabs).
On 'Inbox only' setting the Primary category count could be omitted, because it equals the Inbox count.

@RpD really? Is squirrelmail

@RpD really? Is squirrelmail supported? I'm keeping an old firefox only because gmailx was still working, now since a few months it's no more the case.

There is a squirrelmail script.

There is a squirrelmail script in the Scripts page.
If you click the Name column header, the scripts will be sorted by name, and then squirrelmail is on page 7.
I have no idea if it still works.
If the script is valid, it will work like any other valid script loaded into the chromium-based browsers with X-Notifier 4.x which supports user-loaded custom scripts.

current Firefox's add-on XN version 4.x does not support user-loaded custom scripts.

Fantastic!

Fantastic! How come I never found out scripts were still working but only with Chrome. I think when Neo was introduced and saying user scipts could not work any longer my mind was set that it was over.

This mean that it's only today that I will be able to update Firefox to the latest as I was still on 52.9.0 ESR.

Thanks!

Welcome.

Yes, chromium-based browsers which can use the X-Notifier 4.x version which still supports user-loading of customer scripts...
Google's Chrome, and Microsoft's new chromium-based Edge (and other lesser known chromium-based browsers are out there, I believe)...
...but X-Notifier 4.x for current Firefox versions does NOT suppport user-loaded custom scripts.
There is a limitation in the Firefox base preventing it. From the Internet: "The current mainstream version [of Firefox] derives from a project called Quantum, started in 2016, which is based on a convergence of the Servo project, written in Rust, and Gecko, which is mostly C++. The first production version of Quantum was Firefox version 57 and convergence is ongoing."

(Just wanted to be clear.)
