Hii ..

Recently I came across an excellent Google Lab feature called "Google Gears" which allows us to browse website offline.

I was wondering if there are other good lab features which we should try..

Please share..

Thanks in advance,
Gourav.

Here are some Labs feature, which I have enabled.

  • Google Calendar gadget (shows a small calender, right inside GMail)
  • Inbox preview (shows preview of Inbox, while GMail is loading the first time, it is start)
  • Mail Goggles (Asks you simple maths questions, if you are sending mails at weekend's late night. Reason being obvious. I don't need, still enabled it, just in case.)
  • Mark as Read Button (Very useful button)
  • Message translation
  • Signature tweaks (Places your signature before the quoted text in a reply, and removes the "--" line that appears before signatures.)
  • Undo Send (VERY VERY Useful, since it gives you 5 sec more before sending message, since you might have forgotten something, and helps you edit the message, before again sending)

Labs feature, which I might try some time later in future:
  • Background Send
  • Green Robot!
  • Message Sneak Peek
  • Multiple Inboxes
  • Old Snakey
  • Sender Time Zone

I use Undo Send and Insert image. Then the other one which gives more kind of "stars" to differentiate between emails is also very useful.
