I like a few of the new features, but there are a couple of things that I hope can change:
The amount of space that is now taken up at the top of a conversation is over the top, it was fine before, but now 3 large rows of buttons have appeared, not too keen on this!
Also (as I think others have mentioned above) my custom sidebar order keeps getting reset when GTDInbox is enabled.
I hope these things can be fixed (or in the case of the conversation buttons, perhaps an option could be added?).

Ahmad – the Compose emails has been temporarily removed, but it will return!

The same is true of Settings/Preferences. They are moving into the proper Firefox Preferences system.

David – Firefox 3.5 has been updated since Alpha 7, so GTDInbox is no longer compatible. Will fix in the new push.

Did you remove the ability to label emails as you compose them?

Having installed it OK with FF 3.5 release candidate US English edition at home – at work installing it on the UK English version of FF and it is not compatible – I assume it is a problem with the English UK FF?

And now (no reboot, just hibernation on XP and restart of Firefox) it’s all working again!

@Wibbler – @Andy pointed out above that the GTDInbox only works with ui=2 in the address line, so the workaround for this one is to manually type the numeral 2 in place of the default 1 in the address bar -
eg. https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox or http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1#inbox
becomes
https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=2#inbox or http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2#inbox.

After you type the address, press enter and you should be fine.

So, a bit more info you you (on FF 3.0.11):

Windows Vista: works fine.
Windows XP: Initially worked fine (for 2 days). Now only “GTDInbox Flow Blog” (and other web links) show in box on left hand side (i.e. Dashboard part is gone). No sign of GTDInbox mods when looking at an email. Status/Project label groupings still work (and always have done throughout the Alpha phase for me).
