For all those who think Gmail is a perfect email service except that to delete an email you had to click twice! Well here's a tickler, the guys at GreaseMonkey have come up with a script which adds a Delete button next to the Archive button. The Button simply does what the "Move to Thrash" option does in the More Actions Menu.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, this only works in Firefox. So, Boohoo to you IE users...

It will, but have u noticed an option to archive the mails. That will help organise them... :)

Come on ppl, to someone with tons of spam and virus attached mails in their inbox, this button might be helpful than the archive button. You don't want to keep them around, do you? I don't know about yous, but I delete all the spams promptly.

....or the spambox. I don't require that script, ofcourse. But I am just citing that it's not as useless as might be cited here.

I don't know about you guys, but I have a couple of subscriptions including that to Techtree and a Calvin n Hobbes comic strip thing. Now they arrive everyday in my inbox and I don't have any use for them after I have looked at them. So, I find it better to delete than to Archive, probably why my account is still 18 MB used...

This extension is an excellent find by goobimama. Great extension. I think Google should include this feature in Gmail.
