Στις ρυθμίσεις του Gmail θα βρείτε ένα νέο tab με τον τίτλο “labs”. Εκεί, μια συλλογή απο νέες υπηρεσίες που σύντομα θα κάνουν και επίσημα την εμφάνιση τους, σας περιμένουν για να τις δοκιμάσετε πρώτα απ’όλους.
Η πιο περίεργη και σίγουρα πιο εθιστική απο τις νέες αυτές προσθήκες είναι το φιδάκι που μπορείτε να παίξετε μέσα απο το gmail σας.
Αναλυτικά, οι νέες λειτουργίες που θα βρείτε στο Labs είναι
Quick Links
Adds a box to the left column that gives you 1-click access to any bookmarkable URL in Gmail. You can use it for saving frequent searches, important individual messages, and more.
Superstars
Adds additional star icons. After enabling this feature, you can choose which icons you wish to use in the “General” Settings page.
Pictures in chat
See your friends’ profile pictures when you chat with them.
Fixed width font
Adds an option to the reply dropdown menu that lets you view a message in fixed width font.
Custom keyboard shortcuts
Lets you customize keyboard shortcut mappings. Adds a new Settings tab from which you can remap keys to various actions.
Mouse gestures
Use your mouse to navigate with gestures. Hold right-click and move the mouse left to go to a previous conversation, move it right to go to the next conversation, and move up to go back to the inbox view. Works best on Windows.
Signature tweaks
Places your signature before the quoted text in a reply, and removes the “–” line that appears before signatures. Can’t use this and the “Random signature” Labs feature at the same time.Random signature
Rotates among random quotations for your email signature. Can’t use this and the “Signature tweaks” Labs feature at the same time.
Custom date formats

Old Snakey
Kick it old school with Old Snakey! Enable keyboard shortcuts and hit ‘&’ from the main page to play a game of snake.
