What’s up with G-Mail?

by David on March 6, 2009

GMail

I regularly spend a few hours a day on G-Mail video. I love it, IMHO it’s by far the best free IM/Video combo available at present. But… but, but, but – is it just me or are the video crashes becoming more frequent? One second you’re talking and the next the video window has just disappeared leaving you with just the text IM window….?#!

I’ve also noticed that the speed at which an ‘instant’ message appears has been decidedly non-instant over the past few days? it can be rather frustrating to the flow of a conversation or maybe I just need to upgrade my precognition chip!

What do you think… let me know…

Multi Select Attachments and Progress Bars in GMail

by Sujoy on March 5, 2009

GMailOkay said and done in the title itself. GMail just got rid of the one thing which has been irritating me for so many years of my using GMail. Multi-Select Attachments is here. From this day onwards, if you want to select multiple files to attach, you don’t need to attach them individually. Gone are the days of zippping multiple files into an archive, just because you want to send them through GMail. Now all you need to do is browse for the files, and select all of them, and UPLOAD. Voila!!!! Read the full article on GMail Blog here.

Also new is the flickr-ish upload Progress bars which indicate whether your selected attachment file has been completely uploaded yet or not. Great going GMail. There you go!! Few more reasons to love your all improved GMail. What more do you want from it? Ask away.

Also new in GMail is the introduction of the new Import/Export functionality of Filters. To use it, turn it on from the Labs tab under Settings, and from the Settings > Filters page you can download a file containing some or all of your filters or upload a file to create a set of filters all in one go.

Read the post on GMail Blog, on what else you could do with this new functionality which include stuff like downloadinf filters on POP and IMAP, Sharing Filters et al.
