Add New Features like Mouse Gestures To your Gmail Account using Google Labs

Yesterday when I was going through my Gmail account settings and I saw a new tab there named “labs” which represents Google Labs, a cool new feature which allows people to try experimental features added to gmail, I remember reading about it on other blogs few days ago but I didn’t really tried it, anyway I opened that tab and saw 13 new feature that I could enable including “custom keyboard shortcuts- which allows you to change the current keyboard shortcuts in Gmail, “Mouse Gesture”- this allows you to do tasks by just moving your mouse (works great!) , “random signature” allow you to add multiple signatures and then shows them randomly with your outgoing mail and a stupid snake game! If these Features get good feedback they are permanently added to Gmail and if not they are buried, you can suggest feature using this link. Google Labs feature has been enabled on all Gmail accounts but Google apps user will have to wait before they can start using Google Lab

To enable Google Labs you need to follow these steps:

1.Open your Gmail inbox and click settings on the top left corner

2. in the settings page click on the Labs tab

3. now you will be shown all the experimental features you can add to your Gmail account, enable the features you like by click the enable radio button

once you enable a feature a small green icons starts showing up in the top left corner of your Gmail inbox so that you can enable/disable lab features quickly

My favourite google labs feature is the mouse gestures features which works great in Firefox (Windows) but I hope they add more gestures to it apart from only three default gestures
