** Development and Support Board here for feature/bug submitting and voting: https://trello.com/b/CGU9BYgd/gmail-to-trello-chrome-extension

** This extension is now open source at: https://github.com/tungbi/gmail-to-trello-extension -- code contributions welcome!

** Main features **
- Detect email opening mode, also the most visible email in current thread
- Add a button "Add new card" into Gmail's toolbar
- Extract email's title, body, timestamp, also reduce text's complexity
- User can choose which list, board or organization will contain the new card
- User can assign him/herself to the new card
- Current email can be easily looked up later via a direct link, or searching (useful for group collaboration)
- Can set labels
- Can set due date
- Can include attachment links
- Authorized via Trello account

Some other useful features:
- Support both simple and split layout ("Preview Panel" in lab/Outlook-like)
- Remember current list, board, org. selection after new card is created
- User can pick up another emails in thread while popup is opening, or reopen popup again to detect & extract email's content again
- Popup is resizable, draggable
- Display Trello's labels similar Trello.com, so they are easier to be selected
