So, what has been making rounds in the GMail activity center. These people are in the hub of action and have been rolling out some really cool stuff. First things first- Multiple Inbox. No, it is not what it sounds like.GMail still doesn’t allow associating different GMail IDs to one. Multiple Inbox enables users to access different tabs of Inbox in the same page. Hence, you would be able to check your Chats, Sent Messages or your favorite Labels all in the same page. Just have a look at the Screen below.
The number of messages that are to be displayed, and even the position of the ‘Inbox’ can be configured in the Settings section for Multiple Inbox. To enable Multiple Inbox, go to the Labs section of GMail and Enable it. Further, to change what is to be displayed in your Inbox, you can do this by changing what is written against Pane 0, Pane 1 etc. For e.g. for my label “Blogosphere” to be displayed, I have written in the text box beside Pane 0 as- is:blogosphere. Further, the position of the Multiple Inboxes to be displayed can be adjusted conveniently to -right of Inbox, above or below the inbox. For peeps not using a Widescreen Monitor, I believe that Above or Below the Inbox is more neat and tidy. [ via GMailBlog ]
Also announced is the new feature to sync your GMail contacts and calenders in your phone. A new version of Google Sync has been released which enables syncing easier for iPhones and Windows Mobile. For the entire list of instructions please visit the GMail Blog post.
