I know this is an off topic question, but I am at my wits end trying to search the internet for a solution. Sometimes I get behind in managing my Inbox on my GMail accounts. And when I do get some time to do review/delete/archive cleanup of messages, I usually start at the oldest message that has not been addressed and work forward. When I do this, or any message action in Outlook, Outlook remembers my position (in all folders) and highlights where I am or next to where I was if I deleted a message. This is very handy as I can easily pick up where I left off when reviewing messages. GMail, however, does not seem to offer this feature, or at least I cannot find it. Does anybody know if there is a way to get GMail to show where I am in the Inbox or a tag list (folder) when I return to it from deleting a message?
Thanks,

Thank you for the reply and the links, but perhaps I was not clear about what I am trying to solve as I do not need notes attached to my email messages as these apps offer. What I am trying to solve is GMail’s lack of a line/highlight cursor that shows you where you are in your Inbox. In Outlook, you can select a message and if you delete it while open, the Inbox cursor highlights the next message in the list. In Gmail, if you delete a message, there is no cursor to show you where you are in the Inbox list. So, if you were in the middle somewhere, GMail will not show you where you were prior to deleting a message. I am hoping this makes sense (and probably should to those who use Outlook on any regular basis)>

In the last part of your initial post you mentioned the possibility of a “tag list (folder)”, that’s why I suggested those two. Attached Notes can be tags in the first, and a folder(s) can be setup to move unread emails to, and then process one by one, in the second extension. I don’t know any listing view customization, but if I come across once, will post.
