I want to create custom labels for gmail which would sit right on top of the inbox. What is the best way to accomplish this - greasemonkey scripts or google gadgets ?

On the left hand side of Gmail, below the Compose button, you will find the option to Create new label.

The create new labels:

  1. Select the Gear on the right side of the page
  2. Select Settings
  3. click the "Label" tab
  4. The labels page is divided into sections: system labels, circles, Labels.
  5. In the labels section is a "Create New label" button.

Any of the labels can be made to appear on the left side of gmail. Using the show/hide option. This make is easy to pick the label when you want to see all the messages with that label.

Any label can be used as the basis of a "multiple-inbox"
