GTDInbox was successfully accepted by Mozilla yesterday (thanks guys, the reviews you gave were awesome, I’m very flattered!). So I wanted to welcome all our new users, and give everyone an overview of the current situation. Actually, before I go any further, I should extend that welcome to say that I encourage you all to make yourselves at home… GTDInbox is a very user-centric app, with an active forum/blog where everyone plays a role in the direction, development and bug fixing of GTDInbox. Never hesitate to get involved!
So first, a little history. GTDInbox 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the original GTDInbox. It’s far more refined and focused on common work flows, and rather than just task management, it now aims to make your inbox truly manageable.
GTDInbox 2.0 is designed to work purely with Gmail 2. Not everyone has Gmail 2 yet (you can tell by checking to see if you have a link to ‘Older Version’ in the top right of Gmail, near ‘Settings’). You enable it differently whether you use personal Gmail, or Google Apps. For more information on this, please see the FAQ.
Gmail itself is in a great state of flux. It’s the curse of working over it, but one I readily accept. This means that there may be days where GTDInbox doesn’t work 100% because Gmail has changed. When this happens, if you leave a message in the Bug Tracking section of the Forum, I will get it fixed asap.
Another common - and related - problem we have is that not everyone’s Gmail is the same. Google rolls out updates to different users at different times. So, people may experience a problem before I do. The other problem is clashes with other Firefox addons. We just have to deal with this on a case by case basis. If you use Google Apps and have a problem, it really helps if you can temporarily set me up an account so I can experience problems first hand.
GTDInbox 2.0 is just the start of the journey. There are plenty of improvements and improved functionality still to do. Very shortly, we will be switching to a system whereby supporters get early access to new releases, access to the beta programme, and as a consequence, a little more impact on how it develops. So, if you want to continue the great supportive community tradition GTDInbox has enjoyed, please look at the Donations page.
And for those of us who’ve gone through the beta programme, you’ll be pleased to know new feature development can now begin again (hopefully no more releases dedicated soley to bug fixing!).

HI, I send at least 100 email from my Gmail account, and playing around in 2.0 for 5 minutes revealed that its just too buggy to use. Did you guys even test this? It looks good, but it was barely tested and easily unusable by anyone who sends a lot of email and lives in their inbox. Nice try, but do your work before you tell everyone how great your product is.

The Compose button doesnt even work! I am deleting this off my Firefox right now. When I click compose email, it either does not work, or when I get to the compose screen I can not even get back to anything else. HIRE A TESTER

I doubt you guys are going to be returning any time soon… but I’ll bite
A small community of beta testers have been going over the code for the last 3 months, and despite a handful still experiencing occassional issues, I - perhaps naively in retrospect! - decided that these were exceptional issues and that vast majority would be fine. The public release certainly made me reconsider and as consequence, 2.0.2 is now out (http://productivefirefox.com/2008/03/21/oops-andy-has-encountered-an-error-get-gtdinbox-202/) to tackle the remaining probs.
I suspect we’ll continue to unearth more issues - Gmail is a tricky beast to ride - but there’s no shortage of desire to get them fixed asap

Thanks much for your continuing hard work to benefit so many people! I had been trying to come up with manual way to systemize email processing before I found out about GTDInbox. THANK YOU SO MUCH for it and for continuing developments!

Bob,
Really, it wasn’t necessary to be both inaccurate and insulting because you had a bad experience. You’re probably gone for good, but a quick look into the Forum referenced above might have kept you from being quite so intemperate in your judgments.
All the best.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that this is a good program. It may be a work in progress, but as I learn more about using it, I expect it will become a very useful part of my world..
Good work guys!

Andy, just a big thanks. This add-on rocks and even if uptime is not quite 100%, that is understood and part of the nature of the beast. Don’t listen to the naggers and critical comments above. I welcome them to get a project like this going. Incredible work! Thank you and please keep it up.

Andy,
I am schocked after reading the negatives above …
The work you are done is great ! I am extremely happy with this add-on, it gives a lot of more value to a already very nice application (Gmail)
Big thanks
