How Many Unread Messages Do You Have?

You can quickly answer the question “How many unread messages do you have?” by embedding the number of unread messages you have right into the Gmail icon itself, making it easy to find out how many by glancing at the title of your Gmail tab or window.

To turn on the unread message icon, go to the Labs tab in Settings, enable this lab, and click the “Save Changes” button at the very bottom of the page.
