Find out Unread Gmail Messages Count from Gmail Tab or Window

Google lab has unveiled a new feature for its GoogleMail user, by using it users will be able to find out number of unread gmail messages from Gmail Tab or Window. You will find how many unread messages are in your inbox with a quick glance at the tab's icon. However, if you have a ton of tabs open, or if you use Chrome’s “Pin Tab” feature that hides everything except the tab’s icon, it can be tricky to figure out without switching tabs.

If you’ve ever found yourself in this situation, you may like the new Unread message icon Google has just added to Gmail Labs. It embeds the number of unread messages you have right into the Gmail icon itself, like the above screen shot.


Note: This lab only works with Chrome (version 6 and above) and Firefox (version 2 and above).

Steps to Enable Unread Gmail Messages Count


Step 1. Log in to your Google mail account.

Step 2. Click on Settings and then Labs option.
