I woke up in the morning, and the first thing that I always do when I get is up turn on my computer or laptop and only after that go wash my face, and come back to see the computer booted and i login and check my mails first. The mails are my life line, 2nd to mobile phones.
But Im not with mobile phones these days much. Not talking a lot, and I have asked everyone to mail me only, and not to bug me over phone. Im on vacation for God’s sake.
So, this morning when I logged into my gmail account, I noticed a few changes. Since im into various activities, and my gmail is the only contact point for all, I guess I should be the only user of gmail having the largest number of message filters, about 250 of them, and about 40 labels on the sides, where the important mails get filtered into and skip the inbox, and unwanted mails such as jaxter invitations, orkut friend requests everything goes into the trash can automatically, and never make it to the inbox.
This monring, I saw that the labels had a small box on their right side, and when I opened mails from these labels, the name of the label appeared below the subject of the mail, and when I clicked on it, it just took me to the page where all mails in that label were listed.
Then when I clicked on the box on the right of the label in the left menu of the mail, it gave me options to color the label, and when I chose a color to the label, in the all mail view, all labels were highlighted with the color that I had chosen, and it made it a lot more easier to spot the mails. Earlier, thanks to my bad eye sight, I had to look closely to read what the label is. Now, that part has become easier. Reading the subject line of the from address has nto been a problem for me yet.
And, after all these, google is still in beta.
