Gmail Adds Multiple Inboxes
PaulSpoerry | February 6, 2009
The updates coming out of Google this week are fast and furious. Today marks the announcement of yet another labs feature. This one will enable multiple inbox panes in the Gmail interface. All you have to do is go into the Labs tab in your Gmail account to enable the new feature; you’ll then be able to enable Multiple inboxes tab in your Gmail interface. Once turned on you can pick up to five different panes. The panes can be set to display to the right of your inbox, above your inbox, or below it.
There are plenty of uses for this feature: If you pull mail in from multiple sources each can have it’s own inbox pane. Alternatively, you could set it up to provide a quick view of important labels, starred, superstarred, or draft messages all in separate panels.
When setting up your multiple inboxes, you can use any of Gmail’s search operators to create any sort of search you want. For example, inboxes might include searches like:
is:starred
is:unread
has:attachment
Again, this has been a big week of announcement for the Google camp. So far this week the following announcements have come out:
- First Official Description of GDrive – Google cloud storage drive
- Google Latitude – which lets you share geo-location via Google Mobile Maps
- Gmail added Folders – Adding a new move-to functionality to Gmail
- Google Offline Calendar – They then enabled Gears support to use Google Calendar in an offline mode
You can read more over at Lifehacker or as always hit up the Official Gmail blog.
