Slightly off topic: Adding an option to the GMail interface...

[Burt Paulie]

Are there any developers out there who know whether or not it is possible to use the standard Google tools available to non-Google employees (Apps Script, Dev Console, other?) to add a selection to the GMail interface?

Specifically, I'd like the ability to implement a left-sided configuration for using multiple inboxes. At present (in my interface at least), you can only place multiple custom inboxes on the right hand side, on the top, or on the bottom of your screen. I'd like to understand whether or not there is a way to implement the left-sided rule without actually working at Google and having the permission necessary to change the interface manually at that end...

So is it possible to add this selector to the Multiple inbox position checkboxes on the Inbox Settings page as a hacker lurking on the periphery? And if so, what tools allow for such an alteration to be made? Thanky kindly...

I think you are looking for a chrome extension. It can manipulate the page for any website you visit. You can also share it with your team if they need it as well.

As already said, what you are referring to is at the browser level, so you would need a browser extension. Or...  
create your own Gmail clone and serve it via an apps script web app. As long as there in no malicious code, Google will let you host and serve

your own HTML, CSS, & JS. 
For example, I created this so I could quickly see my "must attend" events on my calendar, and simplified the inbox by adding a Archive and Trash button associated with each message. I also only wanted to

see the subject, but can easily view the entire message by clicking the "+" and expanding the section (like an accordion dropdown). I use the "Inbox Zero" philosophy, and I only have 3 emails in my inbox. lol

And since I could do it, I added additional tabs up top for local weather conditions and local county Covid stats..   both just serve an iframe with other apps script webapps embedded.
Yes, you can make your own Gmail client, but you can't fiddle with Google's without a browser extension like Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey.

Thanky for the info. Probably not worth delving into as a hobby presently, but the lack of a left caught my attention Thanks again. Kob kob...
