What is "new gmail interface"? Could you provide screenshot?

Here is how I fixed it:

• Add Gmail as a _Custom Service
• While adding, in advance custom code, add the following code:

function checkUnread() {
    var e = document.getElementsByClassName("bsU");
    var t = 0;
    for( i = 0; i < e.length; i++ ) t += parseInt(e[i].innerHTML.trim());
    updateBadge(t);
}

function updateBadge(e) {
    if (e && e >= 1) {
        rambox.setUnreadCount(e);
    } else {
        rambox.clearUnreadCount();
    }
}

setInterval(checkUnread, 3000);

One downside to the above hack is that it displays the total counter of all unread emails in all folders/labels in Gmail.

@ashvagan You can change it to show unread mail count only (not sum of all folders) by changing the for loop to this;

for( i = 0; i < e.length; i++ ) t += parseInt(e[i].innerHTML.trim());

if (e.length > 0) {
    t += parseInt(e[0].innerHTML.trim());
}

for the element selection portion of the script, i made this change:

- var e = document.getElementsByClassName("bsU");
+ var e = document.querySelectorAll(".ain .bsU");

...which only selects the unread count from the "inbox" section. Seems to work for me.

I also didn't have to create the gmail tab as a "_Custom Service", the normal Gmail selection has a spot to enter custom code.

Thank you @ashvagan for the workaround! 🍻

Why has this been closed? The code supplied is a workaround, not a fix. Rambox should support this natively.

[Ash258]

Because the fix was already merged and will be shiped in next release??

[zippeurfou]

@Ash258 when is the next released planned? Gmail is forcing everyone to move to the new design it would be nice to have rambox ready for it.

[Ash258]

Soon. After @saenzramiro finish CI/CD problems / tweaks and relese it.
