And finally you can search on nested labels. Shame on Google... it's a useful feature so simple to automate!

Extension works perfectly on personal Gmail, but it doesn't work on my university Gmail account. Could campus IT be blocking Tampermonkey in Firefox on my personal computer?

It seems strange unless you connect to your university gmail account through the university domain. With that configuration the IT admin can play with your application settings and not only with the remote resources you can access through your browser.

The script is not using any external resource (apart the script icon) so every elaboration is on your browser.

Try it on another browser (Edge or Chrome for example).

While the browser shows the regular gmail domain, our logins run through the campus SSO. That may be how they're able to block it.

The script doesn't run at all in Edge.

IT can win this round. :)

You are right. I developed it in FF and there was a security problem in Chromium browsers.
Now with version 0.0.3 it's fixed and works in Edge, Chrome, Opera and any other Chromium browser.
Let me know how it works and if Edge solves your other problem.

Sorry to be a couple of weeks getting back to you. The semester started, and that's always a bit of chaos.

The script is working now on my university account in Firefox. It seems also to work in Edge. I just had a thought: Both accounts have several thousand messages. Is it possible that I simply didn't allow enough time for it to scan the entire directory tree?

Thanks again for the script.

Nope. The script doesn't scan the messages but the labels.
Edge is working because of my recent fix for Chromium browsers but I don't know why FF is now working too.
Anyway the important thing is that you can use it now.
