Lifehacker posts a trick for getting access to the new GMail Labs features that aren’t yet available on every account. To do it, just paste the following link into your address bar while signed into GMail: https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=1#settings
This gives you access to 13 new features in the settings tab. One fixes the annoying GMail habit of placing your signature below quoted text. Another adds alternatives to the star icon. While I’m partial to the simplicity of having only one icon with which to mark emails, I’ve been using the stars for the dual purpose of marking important messages and messages I need to reply to. Having one more icon to choose from lets me the divide this function.
The other 11 options aren’t as immediately useful to me, but you might like them.
Given the frequency with which your last Gmail related post has been contacted by confused people from India who think you are Google, perhaps you should have chosen a different title for this post.
