Access your documents anywhere

Click on the menu in your Gmail, get Google Drive. Create, share, access, edit documents anywhere at all.

Organise e-mails like never before

More than mere work desks need to stay organised. Through the gear symbol, go to 'general' for stars and symbols (six of each) to better segregate your e-mails. Yes, there is more than just that yellow star you knew.

Forget attention to detail

You know that 'dot' in a Gmail address? Well, it doesn't matter. Whether abc.xyz@gmail.com or abcxyz@gmail.com, the mail will reach the same person.

Goodbye to "Uh-oh! Sent that e-mail by mistake."

Yes, you can 'un-send' an e-mail. Just head to Labs from the gear symbol and look for the lab called 'Undo Send'. While you're at it, look for fun labs like the Flikr, Picasa, Google Maps previews, Multiple Inboxes, Google Voice Player and more.

Online while Offline

No internet access? No problem. Enable the Gmail offline on your Chrome web browser and access, respond, search and archive mail while you are offline.
