Google puts Gmail back in the lab

Google is genuine proof that companies do listen to their patrons. Google has thrown some Labs features back into Gmail, features that are experimental and may or may not be added to the “final” version of Gmail. The entire Labs idea is to harness the creativity of the Google staff.

Thirteen Labs features have recently been added to Gmail, all available to enable or disable in the Settings menu. The thirteen features are: Quick Links, Superstars, Pictures in chat, Fixed with font, Custom keyboard shortcuts, Mouse gestures, Signature tweaks, Random signatures, Custom date format, Muzzle, Old Snakey, Email Addict, Hide unread counts.

All of those are, more or less, self explanatory, but if you’re confused head over to your Gmail inbox and click “Settings.”  A neat little feedback is even provided, so Google knows what you like and don’t like.

Hopefully, Google continues this updating of their software; all their apps are in beta after all.

    The last time I was able to access my e-mail was Thurs.June 20. I have an auto PW, and was able to log in just fine. I had a power failure, and then was locked out, but only with google. I had to change my pw and even then, had difficulty gaining access. Finally, I was able to get back in. In the interim, I accidentally selected the choice that my account had been compromised, later realizing that this was the wrong choice. I had to shut down and since have not been able to get back in. I have sent a form with follow ups and google has reviewed my “case” nd decided that for security reasons and insufficient data, that they will not unlock my account. I need to get my mail and contacts. This was my error. I am disabled. What am I supposed to do? I keep hitting dead ends and can’t get an answer anywhere?

    addendum: I know this really isn’t the place for this, but I have been given no choice. I just need some help.

    .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)  as I cannot access my gmail account
