After using this awesome extension for years, I am very disappointed that it just won't work with the primary account anymore, and it no longer works in Firefox at all. I contacted support and they were supremely unhelpful.

Do not install it. After installation it's didn't work the way it's suppose. More than that now even I removed it I still experiencing problems with gmail. I can't see content of some emails at all, which is never happens before.

This is very good when it works but unfortunately it has a habit of stopping working. I have been without it for two weeks now and as I rely on it this makes life very difficult so I have dumped it and started using Google Inbox which is not as good but at least works This is a fantastic Chrome Extension and I couldn't manage without it. If I could only keep one Extension this would be it. Friends often ask me to help sort out their email problems and when I look at they accounts I find many thousands of emails. No wonder they can't find anything. My inbox is always empty as I deal with all emails every day. I either delete them or set an ActiveInBox reminder and archive them. ActiveInBox then brings them forward when I need to deal with them. Running a business I find that I have to resend emails to prospective customers many times as frequently they fail to rely. So every time I send out an email I set a reminder in ActiveInBox which brings the email forward again after about a week. This works like magic and I am known to be always on the ball.

1. it ruined my inbox - blackscreen when i click on the buttons. 2. they doesnt say to you that most of the features you see on the video are PRO (you need to pay $$$). 3. it archived one of my emails and i couldnt find it Sorry... The idea is fantastic but the product needs QA

Privacy: Why share Browsing history is now required ? I'm not against it if there is a good reason ? And I've search some explanation without success.

I really tried to like this BUT MAN does it clutter up and get in the way! It's not a well designed solution and it's more of an eyesore.

Excellent idea, but too expensive.

I installed the basic one, no trial, and I have three labels added to my list of labels on the left - big deal. I don't get it. 4.2.0.11 - Chrome

I have been using this extension for years now and it adds some much needed features for dealing with emails and for anyone who does most of their business by email, it is almost a must have in order to keep on top of everything and avoid forgetting to follow up emails or chase people for responses. If more people used something like this, then perhaps I wouldn't be spending so much time constantly chasing people for responses. Sadly this great product is let down by poor support. Ironically the AIB team do not seem to use their own product, as getting responses to emails is like getting a photo of a unicorn. Support is a painful and time consuming process requiring endless chasing of emails, usually over several months and being constantly told "we will get back to you", which of course never happens. I have even had some support issues which have dragged on for years and I eventually just had to give up on them ever being resolved. If it wasn't for the rubbish support, I would be giving 5 starts.

Nice and all, but I ended up not using it much and the trial period expired. I guess mixin inbox and todo lists is just not my thing.

I'd give it five stars but lately the extension closes on its own and needs to be reopened manually each session. And ActiveInbox staff have not yet answer my support request put in more than a month ago.
