Completely agree. I’m a very big user of labels. I have more than a hundred, and have set up about 50 automatic filters to apply these labels, so much that 99% of the emails I receive have at least one label applied to them automatically.

This extension is geared towards Inbox users who want some less UI overload but without all the automatic features. Seems more like a coat of paint than a plugin.

Same here, after trying the new gmail for a couple of weeks, I really enjoy the labels (with different color) and filters, it feels like everything is well organized and is totally under my control.

You can still open the left nav and leave it open. It just hides entirely when you minimize it like it does in Inbox.

I use that Basic HTML version ever since that weird reply popup panel appeared.
