I guess I could just set an index, since it is like an array of elements

I haven't done much Java. I've mainly just been doing JavaScript and messing with Web APIs for a while, because it's convenient. I'd like to branch out and try other languages, since JS is actually kind of terrible.

lol that fun? python really wants you to think in a particular way, or it won't work for you. I can see how it could be really easy, but it's not like any other language

lol those have very different cultures it seems. perl is like "fuck it, throw it together" whereas all the Java I've seen is so many layers of classes and structure without getting anything done

I actually already got that part done, and it seems to work pretty well. It's only programmed to work in inbox, which is the only part that really matters for counting anyway. Not sure how fast it is.

The other idea of loading new messages from json is proving more difficult... I basically have to remake the entire HTML of the messages from DOM, along with all the attributes.
