Hi -

I had a button on my toolbar that took me directly to my gmail but - poof! - it's gone. Now I don't know how to get it back? Help, please! Thank you!

This isn't a built in feature and must have been an extension. If you go to Safari > Preferences... > Extensions, is there a Gmail related one there? If so, make sure it's enabled.

Safari, gmail, etc.

There's a few related ones there, but nothing just plain old gmail. I also looked at Safari--preferences, etc. but there was no way to enable?

Thanks for your help.

just to be clear are you talking about a button to click on your toolbar while safari is running? or are you talking about a short cut in your dock you can click?

Safari gmail

Hello -

To be clear, it is a button to click on my toolbar while safari is running.

Thanks for helping me to clarify.

Go to Gmail. Press command-D. Tell it to save to the toolbar.
It's just a bookmark. In the toolbar.

Thank you, Sir, but that works for the Bookmarks. I am trying to get a Toolbar button, not a bookmark, to click for Gmail. I've had one for years but now it's disappeared.

No. These are Buttons with pictorial representations on them of their function.

Ah, see post above your last. About extensions.
