1. I'm somewhat convinced that this extension may lead to getting locked out of Gmail. Soon after I first installed this extension several weeks ago, I would sometimes return to my computer after having left Gmail open in a FireFox tab (which I always do) to find that tab continuously reloading itself. Then when I stop and reload manually, I got a "Lockdown in Sector 4" gmail error message, stating my account has shown "unusual activity" and was shut down temporarily, anyware from a couple minutes to several hours. This happened 6 or 7 times in just about 5 days. As soon as I dis-abled the Delete button script, I haven't seen the problem again. If anyone else can confirm this, then maybe the scripts author can look into the problem.

2. According to a comment on the InsideGoole blog - http://google.blognewschannel.com/index.php/archives/2005/06/15/add-a-delete-button-to-gmail/ - this script does appear to be the cause of the Gmail lockout I experinenced. Anyone who installs this should monitor their Gmail usage, and take note if you get a "Lockdown in sector 4" message. If you are locked out, you will likely be able to log back in within a couple hours, but you should probably disable this script.

3. There is another Grease Monkey script I use that hasn't ever locked me out.

4. I too was locked out and traced the reason back to this script. As soon as I disabled it, everything returned to normal. As I'm one of those who does rely on Gmail for up-to-the-minute e-mail access, I've decided the potential lockout outweighs any benefit the script provides. I will say though that the Gmail team was great in helping diagnose the problem and getting my Gmail turned back on at a critical time. Now if they would only give us a "Move to Trash" button!

5. I too have just been locked out of my gmail account. I too have been experiencing the rapid-reloading of pages with gmail since installing this script. It looks like I won't be getting back into my account for a while. I've removed this greasemonkey script.

6. Yeah, it wasn't Greasemonkey or the delete button; it happens if you hit Gmail too hard with access after access (e.g. checking for email 10 times a second is a bit excessive ;).

So this Greasemonkey script was probably either buggy or it hit a corner case where it was hitting Gmail way too often and refreshing the page over and over.
