Five Secrets of the New Gmail

gmail-blog-logo.jpgA couple weeks ago, to the delight of countless users, Gmail rolled out IMAP access. But did you know the "new Gmail" has other new features worth crowing about as well? So says The Official Gmail Blog, which lists five little-known Gmail features. Here's one of them:

Bookmark emails I frequently need to save a single email for a period of time, such as a message that includes an important phone number. But I don't want to create a separate label for one message, and I also don't want to archive all the email that comes in after that message just to keep that thread near the top of my inbox--and hopefully the top of my mind. This problem is now easily solved by a new ability to bookmark specific emails. All emails now have dedicated URLs, so just by adding a browser bookmark while viewing a message, you can return to it whenever you want, just like a regular web page--although you will still have to log in to Gmail if you've signed out.
Dang! That's downright handy! Want to know Gmail's other four secret features? You'll have to read the post.
