Google updates Gmail, allows adding Label, Star from Compose box
Posted on 02:45 by Maria Scott
Google has been updating its Gmail web
client for quite some time now. The recent update brought in ability to
compose a new mail with a new pop-up method, improved search engine and
deeper integration with Google+ social networking site. Google kicks off
2013 with yet another round of updates to its Gmail services.
The new update allows users to add Labels and Stars to the message from the new compose feature. Gmail
users can do this by clicking on the More options menu in the bottom
right and hovering over Label. Earlier, users needed to first send the
message and then go to their Sent folder to access the message sent,
open it and then could add a Label or a Star to the mail.
Google had launched the new Compose feature in October last year. The feature is available as an option from users' inbox.
“How many times have you been writing an
email and had to reference something in another message? Saving a
draft, opening the old email, and then reopening your draft wastes
valuable minutes. The new compose pops up in a window, just like chats
(only larger),” Google's product manager Phil Sharp had said while announcing the new feature.
“This makes it easy to reference any
other emails without ever having to close your draft. You can even do a
search or keep an eye on new mail as it comes in. And because the
compose window works the same way as chats, you can write multiple
messages at once and minimize a message to finish it later.”
