[How To] Placing 'Delete' button in Gmail


Recommended Posts

I am editing the post and deleting it 'cos my account has been disabled for 24 hrs. All for using a simple GreaseMonkey script which I've disabled now :wacko:

Hope I get my account back.

Now that is heavy-handed. You should write to them and demand an explanation as to how this violates Terms of Use, I've just been reading it and can't see any but the most narrow-minded, legalistic interpretations for objection.

Tell them your a shareholder (they can't check).

BTW there are similar scripts I have seen about the net.

greasemonkey page did put a warning about using the script with gmail

NOTE: Using Greasemonkey Gmail scripts can get your account locked if your script uses excessive resources on the Google server. Proceed with caution.

Nope. By the way, my account was enabled after few hours and I have ever since continued to use GreaseMonkey and the javascript for the 'smart delete button' w/o any probs thus far.

Wish Gmail Had a Delete Button?

I wrote the

Gmail_Smart-Delete_Button script.

It enables/disables itself, depending on whether or not any items have been checked. It works with all applicable Gmail pages, labels & mail items.

Regarding Gmail locking an account, it is very unlikely due to my script as it is all client-side code, which runs after the page has finished loading and it's "on_load" event runs. It uses no server resources (the main reason Gmail locks accounts). Mail deletion is done by selecting the "Move to Trash" item in the actions dropdown (via code), not by any special call to the server. There is no way Gmail could even know you were using the script.

Give it a try!

*grumble* I find it rather disconcerting that you claim you wrote this script.

You patched it, yes, to add minor functionality. I wrote this script:

    • Microsoft is adding some very useful features to Word, Teams, Outlook, and more by Usama Jawad Image via Microsoft Microsoft 365 is the Redmond tech firm's premier solution for Office apps and cloud storage, among other things. Microsoft offers both consumer- and enterprise-oriented subscriptions for this solution, enabling customers to take full advantage of cloud-powered capabilities, in contrast to the LTSC versions of Office. Microsoft 365 apps and services regularly receive new updates and the good thing is that Microsoft tracks them in a very transparent way on its public roadmap. The Redmond company has updated its Microsoft 365 Roadmap with a lot of items in the past week or so, and there are several interesting features there that may excite its customers. For starters, Word is getting a very useful utility that will likely help people writing detailed documents using the software. Microsoft is integrating third-party citation providers in the Reference tab, so that users can quickly add citations. This is being made available to GCC, GCC High, and Department of Defense (DoD) customers on desktop and web this month. There are several improvements on the way for Copilot Notebooks too. Users can customize the format, style, and duration of Audio Overviews in the application through natural language prompts. These Audio Overviews can then be saved on OneDrive so that they can be shared with others too. All of these capabilities are landing on the web next month. Speaking of Copilot, Microsoft is moving the navigation pane for Copilot Chat from the right side of the app to the left. Apart from retaining the existing features, this repositioning allows Microsoft to add new capabilities such as an All Conversations tab, while also streamlining the overall navigation experience. This is being implemented for all customers using Outlook and Teams on the web from next month. In the latter software, Microsoft is also introducing regional settings that gives controls over the app's language and datetime formats. This is being made available for all Teams customers on Android, iOS, desktop, and the web from next month. Meanwhile, the desktop version of Teams is exclusively gaining the ability next month to search for meetings and participants in the search bar and take actions directly from there. Available actions include viewing recaps, accessing the dedicated meetings tab, and RSVP-ing. Microsoft added 39 items to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, so you can understand that the selection of items described above is only scratching the tip of the iceberg. Check out other upcoming capabilities like Universal Print enhancements and more Copilot improvements on the dedicated webpage here.
