I just want to know how to do it with the new syntax... Hey Mark - Actually, this was a feature supported directly by Gmail - a URL syntax that disabled/enabled various UI elements.

If you search around for Greasemonkey scripts, you can probably find something that will remove the chat box as well. However, this is all assuming that you use Firefox as your primary browser. if you use another browser, then you may be out of luck. As for removing the inbox, sent box, etc, I honestly don't know. I'm not even sure if it is possible. It may be against Google's TOS. Matthew : well, the Better Gmail extension from Lifehacker.com will take care of the labels and invite boxes.

What I meant by the panel on the left is inbox, labels, chat, and invite. All of it. Re: the why, one thing I teach in my practice is how to manage email - it's addictive as hell, and just seeing how many new messages there are causes a strong tendency to get sucked in. When composing a new message, it might be in the context of performing a specific task. Does that make sense? matt Hey Mark. What I meant by the panel on the left is inbox, labels, chat, and invite.

Does that make sense?

Well if you download the Firefox Better Gmail extension (assuming you use Firefox) then there is an option to hide the labels box. I have no idea how to hide the inbox and other folders. Why on earth would you want to do that?? Matthew : By tags, I assume you mean the green labels box?

I have no idea how to hide the inbox and other folders. Why on earth would you want to do that??

However, I'd love to know how to disable the panel on the left that shows the inbox, tags, etc. Any way to do this? The syntax used to be something like '&view=cl', etc. I just discovered the new URL scheme, and I have ‘gms’ as the search and ‘gmc’ as compose.

I did have one issue though. I've definitely been switched to the new version of Gmail, but for some reason my URLs didn't look the way you described in this post. I was still seeing a jumbled string of characters. I went in an manually changed the URL to the ones you reference in your post and now everything works just as you described. I'm using Firefox on a Mac, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. I just wanted to throw that out in case anyone else has the same issue. This is a cool tip. I did have one issue though.
