Sort Your Gmail by Size

Have you ever noticed how, despite Gmail's popularity, it's really not very good? The seemingly ubiquitous mail client lacks a surprising number of common sense features, like the ability to sort your mail by size. Well, you don't have to wait for Google to fix that particular problem anymore -- here's a tool that does it for you.

Find Big Mail is a Web app that scans our Gmail and sorts it into categories by size. That's pretty much it; it's easy to use and fills a valuable niche. To use it, enter your e-mail address and allow it to access your Gmail account. After a few minutes, it adds labels like My Big Mail (up to 500KB), My Really Big Mail (2MB), and My Ultra Big Mail (larger than 2MB).

Now you can pivot on those labels and clean up your inbox.

Or, you know, just switch to Windows Live Hotmail. [via Digital Inspiration]
