Gmail box in colours

Box in red indicate e-mails from friends. Bright green labels to messages from e-mail lists. Notes of his family are encoded in gold. And leave the gray? Well, that is, of course.
Knichel is an engineer with Gmail, free email program from Google. And this system of color-coded messages is something he invented to save himself and the time to organize the 100 or e-mail he receives in a typical workday.
Until Wednesday, the color system was ranked by Google as a beta-phase feature in Gmail Labs, a company that refers to "a test of the experimental features that are not yet ready for prime time."
But now, along with five other features, the system Knichel graduated color fully a part-time Gmail. Meanwhile, Google has also declared a "funeral" for five Wednesday Gmail Labs features that were not popular in e-mail users.
The search engine such Gmail killed characteristics: snout, hidden messages with friends online, fixed width font, e-mail addict, which allows users the power to take a break, the position of the signature and the signature arbitrary.
This is not the first time that Google Labs graduate and a slew of features to test, because Gmail Labs was launched in June 2008 but the event did not emphasize the concept that Google says is the key to his success as an innovative company: to build products people create "D U.S. itself, such goods to the public as soon as possible, and make consumers feel that it is OK to break things.
"At Google, in general, philosophy is quickly things for our users and great promise," Leicht said Ari Berg, another Google engineer who developed the products of Gmail Labs. "Gmail is a beta app for a while, 'and that in itself kind of company we like is not too worried about getting something that can ruin a once in a while."
This is a bit 'in contrast with two recent releases of the Google products, Buzz and Wave, who met with an unusual amount of criticism.
Gmail users should choose to include the functionality of Gmail Labs, but Buzz is a social networking features that users of Google have been imposed.
Some feel their privacy has been violated, and a class action was filed against the company because of privacy concerns.
Todd Jackson, Gmail product manager, told Buzz should be treated differently from Gmail Labs, because the whole social fabric of a person should use the Twitter-like service that they are at work. Google has listened to feedback from users on the Buzz and some changes, Jackson.
In telephone interviews, three engineers at Google Labs in Gmail highlighted as an example of innovation agile.
Some features of Gmail Labs to take a couple of days, others months. Jackson said that the ideas often presented by a person, based on a particular e-mail problem they face, or in response to comments about online Gmail. And there is a limited process of approval, he said, which allows creative and controversial ideas to be tested.
Knichel, the engineer with the colorful in-box, said it has the automatic filters that most of its color-coded messages, as they are received.
He was glad to hear that your Gmail would be suitable full-time - even if only took a couple of weeks to create.
