New Features in Gmail
Posted by Rajesh Kottakat on Monday, May 25th, 2009Google has added some new features to its already existing features which would make life simpler for its users. Google’s engineers are working round the clock in Google Labs, adding new features to make Gmail more popular and ahead of its competitors. One feature which is very useful is importing your emails and contacts from other accounts to Gmail.
Gmail users can easily import all their emails and contacts from Hotmail, Yahoo, or AOL accounts. All a user needs to do is enter his Webmail account details (user name and password) into Google’s service and over the next 24 to 48 hours, all his emails and contacts will be automatically imported to his Gmail account.
Google now also lets you test drive Gmail. The company offers a 30-day test-drive mode for users to decide whether they like Gmail or not. The feature, presently available to new users, is likely to be extended to current users soon.
Google has also added a search widget in Gmail, which enables users to search the web without opening a new browser.
The new feature shows a search box onto the left side of Gmail inbox. When a user types in a search, a window (like a chat window) appears at the bottom of the screen with search results.
These are some of the new features that Google has added in its Gmail service. To know more about the latest features in Gmail, just visit Google Labs where a whole lot of gadgets and features await you.

Google provides GMail to organizations as part of their Google Apps package. This is ideal for small and medium businesses and non-profits. They get an email with their domain name; they don’t have to operate a mail server or worry about spam. QBurst has helped a few organizations migrate their email to Google. They are all very happy with the availability and easy access from anywhere, including from mobile phones.
Very informative article!
I enjoy Gtalk labs edition from Google Labs! You can have invisible status like in Yahoo Messenger! Thanks to Jyotish Abraham from Qburst, who let me know Google’s this feature!!!
