Is it possible to use the new Inbox interface to Gmail?
Hi, thanks for making this app. I was wondering if you had any plans to support the new Inbox interface?
Not likely. There would need to be a reference on how to craft a URL to open an existing Draft. I don't see that.
Good point, maybe they'll provide that someday. Composing via the old interface isn't a big deal anyways. Thanks for looking into it.
Hi @davesteele its
https://inbox.google.com/u/0/?mailto=mailto:<email address here>
No official docs but you can verify this by allowing chrome to open mailto links using inbox and grabbing the URL. Note that it will try to hide this URL from you but I got it using the back button.
BTW I'm pretty sure the /u/0 refers to the 0th logged in user, if you have multiple accounts they will be /u/1 etc, not sure if theres any good logic to choose that
What about just generating the URL from a configurable string in the settings? Something like a pattern with dynamic parts that would be filled by default with the gmail pattern, but the user could edit in order to experiment with inbox too?
That way would overcome the general reliability that an automatic generation would require, supplying a local way to customize it.

Too much of a kluge to formalize as a configuration parameter. If you want to go it alone, the URLs are generated in the *_gmail_url() methods in gnomegmail.py.
That's good to know. Thank you!
