Gmail recently overcomes the hurdles adding inline images while composing email. I have explained some workaround sometime back, moreover I am still getting lot of traffic to the post. I think gmail recognized the fact. Yeah it is now added as one of the lab feature. Enable the lab feature for inline images like below.

Once you enable the lab feature the upload icon will appear on the mail composing window like below. Enjoy mailing..

Yesterday when I compose a mail I came to realize some thing, the gmail compose window support multi languages in India. The attractive thing is that you can type in English that will covert into corresponding language selected.

Google recently added insert inline drawing for google docs like office. The tool allow us to insert custom drawing in our docs / spreadsheet. This allow us to create custom drawings like Microsoft Office, but google docs still lacks professional software with Office.

Just click on the menu item called “Drawing” from the menu “Insert”. Draw your favorite image and add to your favorite document(s) and spreadsheet(s).

One of the good feature in gmail chat that you may miss will be SMS chat. Frankly speaking I had read an article sometime back in google blog but I have noticed the feature yesterday only. The feature can be enabled from google Lab tab in settings window of gmail. This feature is currently live in US only. After enabling it in the Lab tab follow the steps below.

1. Enter your contact’s name in the ‘Search or invite friends’ box in Chat, and select Send SMS from the box of options that appears to the right of your contact’s name. Or, if you already have a Chat window open for this contact, just click Video & more, and select Send SMS.
2. In the dialog box, enter a phone number in the ‘Send SMS messages to this number’ field. For now, this feature works only on United States phone numbers. If you’re outside the US, you can still use it, but you won’t see the SMS option in Chat until you enable it manually in the Chat settings page.
3. Click Save.
4. A Chat window appears. Just type your message as you would normally. When you hit Enter, the message will be sent to the phone number you entered.

If the recipient respond to that chat message it will be displayed like normal chat. Moreover it will be logged in chat history but the offrecord will not work with this as it is using SMS as the mechanism for chatting.

Another important feature is that every user will get a virtual phone number for sending the reply back.

Today when I was attaching some of the documents in gmail, I saw a progress bar on selecting the file. Suddenly I tried to check the file upload again. I came to see that multiselect option also enabled for gmail. This is one of the cool feature for me as I attach more than single files in most of my emails. I think most of the business people need this feature. Gmail is a feature rich web application, this app is now one of the addicted application for me. Gmail is using flash uploading mechanism to attain this.

When we send a mail from gmail, the mail is enclosed with subjects, mail ids, time stamp of the mail and so on. But there is no option to know where the mails comes from (the location), or from which place the mail sent. But now Gmail activated an option in the Signature to say “Where am I” to the mail recipient. Now Gmail appends the feature to detect your location and appends the city region and country names to your signature, Read the more about entry here.

Gmail provide functionality to add gadgets to spice up your mailbox. I am going to explain how can you integrate a twitter client in gmail.

Before going to the steps to add twitter client, let me explain a AJAX based twitter client called TwitterGadget. The TwitterGadget is an twitter client which works from a browser with a user defined refreshing interval.

If you are a fan of both application, don’t be baulked to try out this application.

                               Web-based emails are great because we can check the mails from any where irrepective of the place. But it is limited to the internet connection.But there are lots of times, we can’t access the webmail because of the unavailabilty of internet connection. Now that problem is cured by Gmail by introducing their Gmail Offline. So if we are offline, just open the browser and go to the gmail.com and , get the mails are we usually do.

This is done by the help of Google Gears. Gmail uses Gears to download the local cache of our mails. When we lose the internet connection Gmail automatically switches to Offline mode and use the local hard drive to store the information instead of sending across the network. We can read mails, star, label and whatever we want to do when we are doing it in online. 

To enable this service: 

• Click the Settings and Labs Tab
• Select Enable next to the Offline Gmail
• Click Save Changes
• After our browser reloads there is a new tab Offline near to the username. Click to activate the Offline mode. If you dont install the gears previously try to install along the process.

Gmail added a lightweight tool to track your pending task, this will spice up your inbox if you are really unhinged to track your to-do’s.

How to enable task?

Go to settings link and navigate Labs tab. You can see an option (radio button) for enable / disable.

Does the application suits you?

If you are a serious user those who are very busy with works and you are not able to track your to-do’s this is the right application. In the busy life, marking our to-do is only method to get things done.

After adding the application in your mailbox you can add / edit / remove tasks. Moreover you can add email as task also.

Here is the snapshot of gmail task.
