Timer to keep you focused while processing your inbox in Gmail.

This is a time-saving script I wrote to help me process my inbox faster. After 2 minutes spent on an email in your inbox, it pops up a reminder message to move on. (And when you have less than 30 seconds left, it shows a "30" icon in the browser bar to nudge you along.)
Great for quickly clearing your inbox for things like Getting Things Done (GTD.)
It's quite basic, but if you like it and use it, I'm happy to make improvements.
Update: Now you can choose how much time per email you want to spend.

- (2018-03-20) The "time's up" alert appears whenever I leave emails open, even if I'm not composing a reply. This is annoying enough that I removed the extension.

- (2014-10-29) Jeffrey Wyman: Does not work.. tried restarting chrome and computer.
- (2014-06-12) Florian Haas: Sadly, this pops up the timer when the GMail tab isn't in the foreground. That means I'm being reminded of my email when I'm not doing email, and that causes more disruption than benefit to my workflow.
- (2013-11-07) G B: couldn't cope with my dual display
- (2013-10-31) Nathan Mackenzie Brown: When I first started using the plugin it didn't work until I restarted Chrome. It would have been nice to know I needed to restart Chrome. I love the functionality in my inbox, but I also have set up filters to segregate my work and my personal inboxes. The problem with this for the mail timer is that my inboxes that are labels don't work with the timer. I'd give this a 5 star if these two things got fixed.
- (2013-08-29) Josh Eastburn: Just what I needed to keep me moving through my email. As others have said, it would be great if the time per email could be edited more easily, maybe through a tool bar icon.
- (2013-04-02) I was thinking "This would be good if I could make it work. It is enabled but it has yet to appear. Where is it?" Nothing was happening. Now I know you have to set the options first. Like how much time you want waste writing an instant reply instead of planning a proper reply at a more suitable time.
- (2013-01-05) Enyo Kumahor: Fabulous! This is exactly what I needed and exactly what is promised. Please keep it going and make a few improvements. A better message would be great.
- (2012-10-23) Tobias Kluge: Great productivity tool!
