Have something to say?

Let me know if you think a feature is missing, if there is a bug somewhere, or if you have constructive criticism or some other comment on the site. No discussions, please—there are plenty of other forums for that.

This is meant to be a very simple feedback form, so no tags—just a concise message. Thank you.

Important: What you type in the above box will be showed verbatim in the comments, so don't type your full email address if you worry about email harvesting.

What:


Before you can post, please type the current year + the first letter of the month (in English). For Nov 2008, that would be "2008n".

request read receipt!!!!!!!!
JackJul 22, 14:37
I\'m sure this hasn\'t been requested yet. How about READ RECEIPTS?!!
I\'m an I.T. consultant & would recommend Gmail(or GoogleApps rather) to all of my business clients if not for the lack of read receipts. Otherwise, Gmail rocks.
Stationary on the other hand, I couldn\'t care less about.
shoJul 02, 16:56
hi

just one thing is needed

Stationery and completely blocking people\'s emails (the filter thing is so annoying). All my friends have Yahoo and they have pretty backgrounds and Gmail does not. Please add.

In filters, the ability to assign a return address based on part of the incoming address. Right now, you can assign X address only if the email comes to X address, and not via filters, which is very clumsy. One example is I need to be able to assign \"ben@myurl.com\" if an email comes to \"several_different_emails@myurl.com\"

1. attachments should be stored outside the mail. Mail gets a link to the attachment (s).

2. option (button) in the GMAIL\'s mail views to allow a feature similar to Discussions in GoogleGroups, and when you click a specific mail, showing conversations in a tree-view, along with a preview panel on the side.

When I archive a mail without adding a label to it, the only way to see that message is going through \"All Mail\" and searching for it (what is really a annoying thing to do).

I think that a option to see recently archived mail is a good feature.

auto bcc option: the ability to bcc all sent emails to an address pre-set by the user (similar to what thunderbird has). The available greasemonkey scripts fall short. In general, they don\'t always work. Some don\'t work when the email is composed on a separate window, others only work for new messages, but fail while forwarding or replying a message.

DavidApr 08 2009, 15:49
I think the most important feature is \'read receipt\'. Everybody is asking for it. I have to keep using my tiscali account to do this, which I dont really like to do. I would prefer if Gmail had this feature. Why is gmail not listening? I know the just brought the new \'undo\' send, which I never needed before, but maybe some ppl did. Please consifed this feature for the next update. Thanks.

My two cents...
1) Delivery confirmations;
2) Read Receipts;
3) Themes;
4) Priority Mail buttons (high-normal)
5) More user-movable gadgets, not just chat and labels;
6) HTML-style email signatures, complete with GIFS

First of all, the idiots who are requesting \"Mobile Notification\" need to get up to speed and get a mobile device that can receive email!

Secondly, I agree with the numerous requests for READ RECEIPTS.

Finally, anyone complaining about setting up a third party client to \"sync messages\" and whatnot is obviously not in the loop and has not used IMAP.

Come on people, learn how to use features before you make yourself look like an idiot for requesting something there already is!

JimFDec 11 2008, 08:25
IMAP accounts in Gmail are only fetched once an hour? And I can\'t increase that interval? Hourly email delivery is no more acceptable than getting my search results every hour, or my GoogleTalk replies on an hourly basis. You really have to upgrade this so users can increase their fetching intervals.

Ability to reorganize my labels!

In addition to existing requests to add or delete emails from conversations, implement a way to view email without conversations. (An IMAP connection to GMail does this pretty well, except that if you label one message, all the other messages in the conversation get the same label -- ick!)

Also, how about \"sub-labels\"? (just like subfolders.)

Ungroup emails with the same subject.

I made a job posting on the net, as everyone knows how it works. But when people replied me, these messages grouped together with the the similar job posting that I had a year ago. This is bad!

Google Team, please ALLOW USERS TO UNGROUP MESSAGES by subject, which is default.

I had Smiley Central in my Gmail-Mozilla Firefox tool bar. I also had 2 Smiley icons on my desktop. When I uninstalled 1 icon I lost the icon in my tool bar. I again downloaded Smiley Central & I see the icon on a DSL Exteme tool bar(I assume it is because DSL is my server.)But I can't find it on my Gmail tool bar & Gmail is my prefered email address. I never use DSL for that. Now what can I do to get Smiley back? (I never had any trouble getting it the 1st time!)

I have to wonder why, since Apr 03 2005, 00:21 (the first feedback on what "WE, GMAIL USERS WANT", Gmail hasn't implemented read receipts. I mean, really. It's been 3 years. (rolls eyes)

Although I understand the annoying read receipt to every email from that insecure "didja get my mail" geek, it's quit useful in the business world when you have customers that play games. It's also useful in the family when that certain relative ignores your email and keeps you out of the loop when planning and coordinating family events. Will we or will we not get the read receipt feature added sometime soon?

BTW, neat little script on keeping spammers out. You guys continue to show off your skills ..... just remember our request: Read Receipts ;-)

I should also have the possibility to add my details as a VCard file automatically to all outgoing emails.

the feature i desperately need is something obvious: view the size of each email and attachment in the inbox, and be able to sort emails by size.

this is very important when you\'re nearing full capacity of the inbox as it allows you to delete the largest emails to save space

I would like GMail to show a \"reply to all\" button as default when viewing messages sent to multiple recipients.

Right for most of my friends I have several contacts. Of course I could manually edit the contact - add another address then delete redundant entries. But this solution is very tedious and error prone. On top of that I\'m using gmail as my jabber account, which adds at least one more address for most of the people...

I\'m using the gmail\'s pop3 feature with Outlook Express.
I want the emails to be left \"untouched\" in the gmail inbox after OE has accessed them because both my computers (at work and at home) are always opened and sometimes the OE on the computer where I\'m not accesses a new email first thus I don\'t receive it on the computer where I am!

I checked \"Leave a copy of the messages on server\" and \"Remove from server after 5 days\" in the Properties/Advanced tab for this account in OE, on both computer.

I also use the \"When messages are accessed with pop keep gmail\'s copy in the inbox\" in the gmail\'s settings.

But it doesn\'t work!
As soon as one OE has accessed the new email, the other won\'t retrieve it.
JaaddFeb 10 2007, 10:35
I have 40 people on my contact list that would appreciate this joke forward, if I just clicked on the contacts one by one to add them in the \"to\" field, It would take me 30 seconds to add all of the 40 people but if I did it with gmail\'s auto-complete (First letter of first, last name/e-mail) would take me smthn like 4 minutes, I know I could do it by opening a new window and box-checking all the contacts and then copying them but I could bet that not more than 25% of the gmail users know how to do that, anyway it can be simplified.

So the following feature is highly needed :
A drop-down contacts list where contacts can be added in the to/bcc/cc fields with a click.

Frankly some new users are disappointed in the service because of the absence of this feature (it exist in yahoo, hotmail, outlook ...). So I think this is the number one priority for gmail.

The simple way to control merging messages to a conversation. Just to add an indicator in the subject line saying not to merge this message. It can be `back quote` as the delimiter of the subject line. Than we will be able to send greetings and other notes to multiple recipients and it won't be merged in one huge conversation that very often doesn't have any sense.
yuradJan 08 2007, 01:35
I come back to the issue that gmail doesn't have the search for part of a word. From one hand there are a million of reasons for such search. From other hand the current gmail way to search is very good in most of cases. Than I would think the good idea is to add the alternative search supporting regular expressions.

2- Ability to choose between "All contact" and "Frequently Mailed" when clicking on "Contacts"
ZOct 31 2006, 17:47
Great site! I dont know where to request features, so I'll do it here:

1- more features in contacts:
a) have birthdays fields link to your google calendars
b) ability to attach more files to a contact (currently just 1 is available: the picture of the contact) so that for example when opening a contact we can have the jpg or pdf of that contacts's business brochure, maps, etc all there filed together.
c) ability to open contacts in new separate windows so we can see 2 or more contacts info at the same time, instead of only one at a time
d) bigger "notes" area or better yet a resizeable "notes" area
e) ability to associate "show as" or aliases for different email addresses a contact may have (this is available in Outlook), that way we have options when composing new email to a contact's home or office emails instead of having to use the contact's primary address or having to open the contact's info to use his other email address.
f) ability to see the sender's name the way I have listed in my contacts, not the way that contact wants me to see it. For example: I have a contact named "Bill (PC techie)" but when he emails me his email shows as from "Mr William LastName" and that confuses me and makes searching harder.


2- more features in filters: a pull down menu or "search as you type" - Example: showing the list of contacts or labels etc in the TO and FROM fields, so we dont have to type each one

3- more features in email viewing:
a) ability to open 2 or more emails at a time, instead of only being able to see one at a time.
b) ability to edit the subject of the email (I suppose this has impact of how the conversations are forced into one or broken up, as suggested already)

Filters recognize contact groups

The most useful feature I could use would be for filters to recognize contact groups.

Filtering based on the "From" header is still probably the most popular usage pattern of filters. It would be great to have the From and To Fields behave similar to the "To" field when composing a message, ie, a drop-down list appears while typing, which of course includes all your contact groups. The current situation unfortunately forces users to maintain two identical lists of any contact group they want to write to and label incoming messages.

With respect to the email aliases feature. This is already supported to a degree. Gmail supports "+" as a recipient delimiter. For instance bob+someplace@example.com and bob+anotherplace@example.com are both resolve to bob@example.com.

1. SMS notification outside the US.
2. plain POP3 access if user permitted (not just SSL).
3. sign out option sometimes signs in automaticly when signed out. so the suggestion is to add a sign out option with the cookie deletion so it won't sign in automaticly.
4. when the inbox haven't finished loading- clicking on an E-mail should show me the E-mail (it doesn't).

gog nedotoJun 15 2006, 17:09
To the people that want direct GPG/PGP-gmail integration:

I ask you to refer to the numerous warnings by these kind developers and related companies regarding security.

Assuming you have read about their work beyond the installation instructions, I have one question.

Would you give me, a nameless-unknown-faceless person the keys to your home or car? How about the pin number of your bank account? The credit card in your wallet?

I know you would not.
You would not use encryption if you were this sort of person. You would be penniless and insane wandering the streets of large cities, a hungry ghost, your clothes rotting from your body.... you get the point.

Security is done at the source.
You can not tell someone a very sensitive and personal thing about yourself and be certain that it is secure.
You must do that yourself by either being vague or not giving into the urge to "share".

Security comes at a price, even when free.
You must manage your own security at the cost of your time.
You must make certain that your keys are physically secure.
You must make sure that your passphrase is safe and long enough to be strong.
All of this is a chore, but grandma's cookie recipe is worth it!

Security is simple.
You either look grow lazy and do not use the software or you continually find your weakness and dam them up.
It's either do or don't.
You accept all responsibilities and flaws depending on your adherence of basic practice.

Nothing is secure.

When forwarding a message to a group remove the address of the original sender so him doesn't receive again a copy. This will be very time saving.

What I'd really want to be able to do with Gmail is rename the conversations. I'm a Livejournal user, and 80% of the mails I keep are called either "Comment you posted" or "Reply to your comment", which is rather limiting :)

EmanuelMay 20 2006, 21:35
I get so many messages that if I forget to put a label on them they get lost in the All Mail folder when I archive them.
It would be nice if Gmail had a feature to search for unlabeled messages so that I could quickly search for the messages I forgot to categorize.

Currently, Gmail doesn't support IE for Mac and Opera (and possible other modern browsers). This is not good, for obvious reasons."

I think it's a VERY BAD idea to intergrate PGP/GPG into GMail.
Encryption should be on the client side not at server side, you have any idea how happy government would be with A LOT of private PGP/GPG keys in gmails database?
and about the passwords...? well now, you have to enter that one in a pop-up window i'd guess, and don't u be thinking that won't be stored...
be secure, be smart, encrypt your own stuff, then email it.
or use a plugin for thunderbird or whatever mail client you use...

One of the features that I have hoped would make its way to gmail is composing messages in HTML mode. I understand that you can use the automatic controls and font properties that gmail provides, but given my somewhat extensive knowledge of html I have wanted many times to use some simple tags to enhance my content. I still see this as something that would dramatically enhance my gmail experience.
ashkey80@gmail.comApr 13 2006, 16:12
Show unlabeled mail: an option to see only the mails without any label, so that you can, for example, look at your inbox for personal mails without all the mailing lists (which are usually the most labeled mails) between them.

Dylan ThurstonMar 28 2006, 18:05
Gmail would benefit from nested labels. (parent/child labels). Ex. I have one label for family then i have a label
for each member of my family, which would be a child label of the "family" label. If i had a nested label i could apply the label for the person in my family, and then automatically they would be part of the "family" label, but would not actually have the family label attached. This would allow me later to move the label for a particular member of my family and when moved out of the family label, all of its conversations would no longer be included with the "family" label. Thats probably pretty confusing but once you get it, it makes total sense. The only thing to watch out for are infinate loops.

Another vehement vote for timestamp preservation in old mail redirected to gmail! This is critical. The original Date: header line actually is still in there (you can see using "more options"), BUT that header is not currently used for the chronological sort in a gmail listing, and (far far worse) is not searchable at all. There's no way I can consider moving my old mail archive over until this is fixed.

Speaking of dates, we should also be able to specify an exact date/time format without that being linked to default language. I can't *believe* they don't let users of "English (US)" have 24-hour time, the only sane choice.

Thanks.

When we select the option to see full headers in a message to a gmail used, the full headers are not displayed. They should be, so that a gmail user can see what IP address was used when the message was created, and what IP addresses through which it was routed. I think I have received some attempts to gain information fraudulently, but I can't report the attempted crime without the IP addresses through which the message was routed. Likewise, right now, I can't report the IP address used by the perpetrator when the message was created. We need to be able to report that information to the proper law enforcement authorities.

Some easy method of importing bulk (more than 1,000) e-mails into Gmail would be great. Either find someway of using the mbox format or just write a wizard that seemlessly does it (i.e. user selects their client from a list, the wizard finds the locally stored e-mail OR logs into the IMAP server and downloads it).

Migrating to Gmail is attractive but many users want to be able to move years of e-mail over there (ideally with original date/time stamps and From lines)
LuisOct 05 2005, 20:38
I'm surprised mailing lists or groups are not included in the list of features..

Also, the feature of applying filters to old mail is unnecessary I think.. If when your creating the filters you use the test search button, at the top of the search results there is a search query that you can copy and paste into the regular email search bar and then do whatever actions to those mails that you were going to do..

Example of search query:
Search results for:from:bob to:frank subject:cars green -blue has:attachment

Jun 11 2005, 17:24
I wish GMail would fetch my other pop3 boxes that don't support forwarding so I would read all my mail from it.

I wish GMail would allow multiple personalities when sending mail, so I could send everything from it.

Grease Monkey scripts for Firefox will give you "saved searches" and/or a DELETE button. Very useful.
DebJun 04 2005, 02:25
I can't delete the message sent to me on my MSN messenger account by MSN asking me to upgrade my account with them.

There is no way to get feedback or assistance on deleteing it, without it constantly asking you to sighn up/upgrade, which is what I want to avoid in the firstplace.

The upgrade requires you to pay for the service, I want a free service, as it was when I signed up.

MSN promotional junk mail should be easy to delete. A simple box for "Delete Message" to delete the highlated message.

Currently gmail supports only conversation view. It does not support the thread view which is useful to read mailing lists newsgroups etc., I think gmail should give an option to the user in this regard.
Rick NMay 21 2005, 02:39
As a security measure to prevent potential viruses, Gmail does not allow users to receive executable files (such as files ending in .exe) links and such that could contain damaging executable code.

Gmail does not accept these types of files, even if they are sent in a zipped (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz) format. Any message of this type sent to your Gmail account will be bounced back to the sender.
Gmail will allow these files from other gmail accouts.
Gmail needs a safe contact list file so files are not bounced back from family memebers and friends.
AndrasMay 19 2005, 21:24
Selectable encoding for outgoing mail.

This is essential for Gmail users writing messages in languages other than English. Currently, Gmail ignores the browser setting and sends all mail converted to UTF-8 encoding. This is a problem for the receivers of those messages because many e-mail clients cannot handle UTF-8 correctly and all characters other than the standard ASCII characters appear as unreadable garbage in them. Therefore, Gmail users need the ability to choose whatever encoding they like for their outgoing messages, e.g. ISO-8859-2, etc.

A contacts link from the compose window
FastEddie - EddieMay 17 2005, 19:15
I think an essential feature is the ability to make groups for mass e-mails. In the address book, there is no way to send one -mail to lots (100) of people without adding each of them individually to the contact list. There are tricks to do this (like eddie@ed.com>, in one field), but they never work for me. This seems just so simple and necessary.
PaulMay 17 2005, 01:49

Ability to split and combine conversations - sometimes google can't really identify the correct conversation. People have wanted to combine the conversations but I think it would be important to split them too

My bookmarks for FireFox are growing and growing (several levels of subfolders) and it's very hard to add bookmark to proper folders or organize the bookmarks. Also, I wish I didn't have to spend too much time organizing them, and wish I could just search my book marks.

Say a google type search where searching goes into the websites in my book marks and checks for hits (just like normal google searching.. but limitted to my book marks).

I hope the Mozilla hackers help GOOGLE add this feature.

Export Contacts. Gotta be there. Google motto is 'dont be evil' but this looks like a microsoft style attempt to lock you in to using gmail. If they can import CSV's they have the code and implementing a feature to export would be trivial for their in-house geeks. They have'nt done it, and it looks bad.

A feature to send e-mail abuse LARTs would be relly fine.
Actually, if you wish to send a LART, once you have open the message, you must:
1) click on "More options"
2) click on "Show original"
3) copy the whole message and past it on your Abuse application
4) let the application analyse the message headers
5) send the LART to the provider's abuse address

why not activate something similar to the "Report phishing" function?

thank you for your time on considering this,
Francesco

1. The simple ability to fill in Cc: and Bcc: fields from your contacts in your Address Book.

Importing e-mail from e-mail clients (Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc). The problem is that none of the current importers keep the timestamp correct. Gmail lists the time that the e-mail was imported, not the original timestamp. So, I guess, import e-mail and keep the original timestamp would be my wished-for feature request.

POP3 email address masking - for example, i have a domain name mydomain.com. all email sent to this domain is forwarded to my gmail account. at the moment if you change email address in outlook account settings email wont send.

There has been a recent feature addition to Gmail which notifies you if you have a message without having to open Gmail. I think that it would be a very good idea to incorporate this feature into the Google toolbar. It makes more sense to me because you are going to need a browser window anyway...
MikeOct 08 2004, 23:44

Michal TrettenbachSep 10 2004, 17:11
A user should be able to keep a sent message from having a "reply-to" field. The settings panel lets it either be identical to the "from" field, which is pointless, or be something else -- but doesn't let it be absent. Lots of Listserv, Lyris, majordomo, mailman, you-name-it lists get "broken" (as a user experience matter, not technically) by reply-to fields. One ought to be able to omit it. (I've tried choosing "other" and leaving it blank -- no dice.)

I'd like to be able to have a cleaner view of the Inbox, and have the option of *not* seeing everything, the same way it works in other email systems that use folders. While I understand how you can use labels to simulate folders, this doesn't help at all when looking at you Inbox. In some cases, I will probably get mail that is not yet, or may never be, classified under a label.
matroSep 02 2004, 00:32

Gunigugu: That would be "Manually break up conversations", which has been there for a while.

Hamish: That's a nice idea, I hadn't thought of that! I will try to implement it during the weekend.

Also, you've probably noticed that the pages that display the standings are rather sluggish now. That's because I had to introduce a rather complex SQL query to calculate the score since a particular day. I'll try to redesign things, but it might take me a while, since I'm pretty backup up these days.

Thanks for your patience!
GuniguguSep 01 2004, 09:43
Force conversations into separate messages
(the opposite of: Force different subjects into single conversation)

When I migrated from Hotmail Gmail several messages were combined into conversations, but they had in fact nothing to do with each other.. quite annoying!
HamishAug 30 2004, 20:25
stian: How about normalising the results? Votes cast in favour of functionality divided by number of days it has been possible to vote for said functionality. You should also give existing voters the chance to change their votes if they so desire, otherwise new functionality which old voters would have voted for had it been present at the time will not be properly represented.

storks@gmail.comAug 23 2004, 09:45
'Redirect' (like in Fastmail.fm)
difference between forwarding and redirecting is that emails will preserve the original senders name when redirected. The main use of this is to move a set of emails from your account to another email address you might have, but to preserve the original sender so it doesn't appear like they all came from you at Gmail.
dbm1175Aug 19 2004, 15:19
I love labels, they are much more functional than folders. The only problem I have with them is the way GMail displays them. After you've applied a few labels, you can no longer read the subject of the message.

Maybe instead of showing them all on the subject line, you could have a small "L" beside the subject which would show the complete list of labels when moused over.
losergeekneilAug 19 2004, 06:09
I think that Gmail should show the size of the message, and an over all statistic of how much space is being used by messages in plain text, in each label and how much is being used for attachments etc. It would also be nice if they allowed you to delete the attachment but save the message.
jeffAug 11 2004, 19:51
I'm waiting with baited breath for Gmail to offer E-mail domain hosting. Either free or paid, I don't much care.

Does anybody else want this feature?
stianAug 10 2004, 23:45
I've just added a PIM feature, the virtual search thing, and a keyboard shortcut for deleting messages. The only problem is that these features are now seriously handicapped points-wise due to their late inclusion, so the results will not be entirely fair.

A possible solution is to include the date that features were added in the standings, so people can see how long people have been able to vote for that particular feature. An even better way to do it would be to allow people to see results since some user-supplied date, for example since the date the last feature was added.
danmccrea@gmail.comAug 10 2004, 04:00
I think making g-mail more of a personal info manager would make it even better than it already is. I want to get off the Outlook bandwagon completely, so a calendar, todo list and notes would make it perfect for me.

stianAug 03 2004, 22:19
cebidae (and others): It has, a long time ago. It's called "Send As functionality".

Maybe I should consider renaming it, since several people seems to have overlooked it?
cebidaeAug 03 2004, 05:43
Why hasn't a 'change from address' option been added to be voted upon. It seems like a lot of comments below are suggesting it would be a good idea.

Also, it would be interesting if google could include more PIM functionality (Calendar, Task List, Better Contacts) and some smarty could write software to sync this with a PDA (Palm, PocketPC, etc.) I could stop using crap outlook altogether then.

gbrugman@gmail.comJul 20 2004, 19:33
Like really to have a keyboard shortcut for Moving Message to Trash. I don't understand why this isn't high on this wishlist. We all probably get mail we don't want to keep.
MikeJul 20 2004, 00:44
Another vote for being able to set the ""From"" message field to something other than gmail.com.
GretchenJul 18 2004, 23:29
I would like a way to import old mailboxes (in mbox, outlook, whatever format) without updating the timestamps, so that the archives could be searched chronologically. Right now you can forward mail archives up, but it resets the timestamp in conversation mode.
rayJul 17 2004, 02:10
Thanks for this opportunity. A "feature" I'd like to have before permanently switching my email to gmail would be some kind of guarantee that my sent email stays for ever completely ad-free.
Dany MilesJul 14 2004, 22:06
Some of the options in select boxes are already added by third-party scripts and little programs.
stianJul 14 2004, 19:33
I've added a bunch of the new suggestions. Look at the feature list - it's sorted chronologically, so the newest additions are at the bottom.

Thanks for all the good suggestions. Not all of them have been added, only the ones I thought were most relevant. Once again, I know that some of you will disagree with me on which to add and which to ignore, but until I get a better system in place (I'm working on it), that's the way it will have to be, sorry.

seperate conversations- i.e. many emails with same subject that do not belong as part of one conversation should be able to be seperated manually- or by filter

example- livejournal sends you an email when you get a comment to one of your posts. they are all sent with the same subject ("reply to your post" or something to that effect) and it would be nice to have a filter that says when an email with this subject shows up, do not do the great gmail conversation thing with it. it would work for many types of alerts from various sites
set "from" email addressJul 14 2004, 03:04
A great GMail feature would be the ability to set the "from" email address to something besides gmail (not just the "return address"). Y! paid lets you do this.
curiousJul 14 2004, 02:56
great poll. Thanks for doing this. One feature I'd like to see: more filter actions, such as "mark as read" or ability to apply multiple labels.
RajenJul 14 2004, 00:26
I want the ability to change the date/time of the email so I can do things like send photos as attachments and change the date time to the time the photo was taken.
yasunobu13Jul 13 2004, 23:19
Better browser support. IE for mac and any Opera are still unsupported
SanderJul 13 2004, 22:10
T for Trash!
Will McCutchenJul 13 2004, 21:28
I want the ability to NOT view HTML mail... I only want to see plain text.
jeirvineJul 13 2004, 19:49
1) ability to open multiple messages in mutiple browser tabs ("open link in new tab".
2) Gmail should load in the background, and not force it's tab/window to front. I work in multiple tabs a lot and Gmail intrudes annoyingly.

Thanks for the opportunity,

I want to have a shell in gmail,
so i can process all of my email with command line,
change label, move emails from one label to another, deletes, etc.
I want to process my gmail emails like i did to my emails in my Maildir
http://www.flameproof.org.ukJul 13 2004, 18:43
What about 'masking'? I don't use gmail simply because I want to be able to continue using my flameproof.org.uk email address. If I could set up gmail to make it look like I was sending it from flameproof (or whatever) I'd be using it already!
shassinger@gmail.comJul 13 2004, 15:42
would be great to have a 'notepad' function - just jotting notes to myself or copying & pasting out of emails
also a calendar app seems a logical extension - a google outlook replacement!
jonJul 13 2004, 15:25
Given the sole reason for choosing POP3 over IMAP is that it deletes messages from the server, why on earth would you prefer POP3 gmail access? The entire point of gmail is surely to create an archive of your messages online - why would you want to delete them as soon as you access them from a local machine??
helenaw@gmail.comJul 13 2004, 12:38
Yes i'd also like:
1. associate a label with a contact
2. RSS reader

and also, what about the ability to export selected emails/conversation threads to:
a) a blog
b) offline feed: this would allow me to work on my emails when i'm on the road; for example, what about the ability to import an offline feed of gmails into my PDA? or even on to my laptop (and readable on something like eudora)for those dull moments waiting at the dentist who (doesn't yet have a wireless network).
kokeshi@gmail.comJul 13 2004, 12:28
I'd really like to be able to search on more than one list category at once: for example, I've got all messages from email ists I'm subscribed to labelled as "lists", and I have all administrative details (logins, account details, etc) labelled as "admin": if I want to see all the account details for just my email lists, I want to be able to search on "admin lists", and at the moment I can't.

I've requested this feature from Gmail as well, but hopefully someone here would find it useful as well...

Thanks very much for setting this up!
cyberhill@gmail.comJul 13 2004, 08:02
"Create email aliases" You can partially do this already, using username+anythingyoulike@gmail.com. Just add the "+whatever" piece to your username and you can then filter them and apply labels if you like. It isn't multiple usernames, but it is nice to be able to use the same account but for different purposes and be able to filter based on that. :)
CavalierJul 13 2004, 07:58
I'd like to be able to delete attachments without necessarily deleting the original e-mails they were attached to.
GraemeJul 13 2004, 03:47
1. I'd like to be able to associate a label with a contact so that the label is added to all email to and from the contact.

2. I'd like to be able to add "Display External Images" as one effect of a filter, so that email from places I know about in advance would be displayed correctly.

3. I'd like to be able to associate a count with a label, so that Gmail only kept the N most recent emails with the label -- good for low-value mailing lists, or lists that are archived on the web already.
MattJul 13 2004, 03:36
How about an RSS reader incorporated into Gmail? Yahoo just bought oddpost.com, an e-mail provider which has an RSS reader and I think Google should considering doing the same with Gmail. I know I want one.
stianJul 12 2004, 12:02
quidire: I consider a) more of a bug than a feature, and they are working to fix this. You can get b) by using Google Groups 2 (beta), c) falls under the catch-all for improved contact list functionality, and d) is covered by (or at least very similar to) the option to search on arbitrary headers.

I am on vacation right now, so it may take me a while to add new feature suggestions.
quidire@gmail.com (Rahul Sinha...Jul 09 2004, 02:05
a few suggestions:
a) Threads formed by the In-Reply-To flag, not just subject lines (such that if one changes the subject to "B (was Re:A)" it still remains in the same conversation

b) a mailing-list service like Yahoo!Groups

c) nicknames for contacts

d) procmail-based arbitrary filters (as an option/alternative to the existant, easy but limited ones)
ChrisJul 07 2004, 18:13
Good idea! Can I vote for: "override a users email name when the mail comes in if its in a users contacts list with a different entry." Pretty annoying as I was used to this when using Exchange and Outlook.
stianJul 07 2004, 17:50
Btw, regarding your question, Chris: What does everyone think about a separate, smaller poll, open for everyone, to decide which _suggested_ feature to add next?

Eventually, the list will get too long for comfort, and I will start having to reject suggestions. And who says I know which ones to reject, even with my good judgement? :)
stianJul 07 2004, 17:47
I've added all the suggestions since the last update. Chris: you must have caught me at an awkward time, because I added the new suggestions just as you asked your question :)
ChrisJul 07 2004, 17:40
And t = trash would be GREAT !!!
ChrisJul 07 2004, 17:40
What are the criteria for adding an feature? Because the ability to search through attached files was added, but the ability to create aliasses not. And I would like to have both actually :-)
ggaspariJul 07 2004, 17:12
Ability to search through attached files (PDFs, Office documents, images) just like the big daddy google engine!
david.a.hart@gmail.comJul 07 2004, 07:51
Virus scanning is a feature I would like
DonJul 07 2004, 00:58
1a. Customized keyboard shortcuts
1b. 't' - Move message/conversation to trash shortcut
stianJul 06 2004, 16:21
Martin Contento: I agree--that would probably be a nice feature for some. Added.
Martin ContentoJul 05 2004, 21:38
in addition to "send as" gmail should get "fetch other" and go out and fetch my other pop3 boxes that don't support forwarding.
Then gmail would be the centre of my mail! :)
stianJul 05 2004, 12:07
LeroyBrown: I've created a "catch-all" for improved contact list functionality. I'm pretty sure they are working hard to improve the contact list, so let's wait until we see what they come up with before we start voting for very specific features in that department.

taye: I agree, that would be nice. I suspect it might not be trivial to implement (depends on how the whole conversation thing works), but i have added it as a new feature nonetheless.

Keat: Yes, that would be very nice. I've added it, so let's vote on it and see what happens :)
KeatJul 05 2004, 06:23
"Send-as". Ability to send outgoing email as another email address (an email verification procedure MUST be in place to avoid abuse).

With this, I can effectively channel all my personal/work/others mails into gmail (using programs or server-side forwarding), and reply using gmail's kewl interface without ever having to use Outlook or any desktop mail program!
tayeJul 05 2004, 02:21
I'd love the ability to force together separate-topic messages into the same conversation. e.g. if you send a message and someone else changes the topic thread which makes it a different conversation; allowing us to merge the two into 1 conversation.
LeroyBrownJul 04 2004, 20:59
can we have an option to vote for being apple to override a users email name when the mail comes in if its in a users contacts list with a different entry.

It is particularly annoying when mails will come in from people whose businesses set their display names and they are formatted stupidly and you would like them to be overrode with your name in your contact list for them. handy when browsing through emails!
stianJul 04 2004, 19:21
201Dre: Done!
201DreJul 04 2004, 03:13
Sorry, just noticed that it's the top 10 requested.

Do you think you could make a page with all the results?
Thanks
2.0.1.D.r.e+pleasepleaseplease...Jul 04 2004, 03:09
Hi, the features don't come up in the results? I voted to make sure and they're on the list but the results don't come up.
stianJul 03 2004, 23:29
201Dre: Agreed, and added!
201DreJul 03 2004, 23:16
I think some good features would be WAP access and mobile e-mail alerts for cell phones.

Mobile email alerts are small text messages sent to your cell phone when you recieve new emails. They tell you the subject, who it came from, and a little snippet of text from the email. Very useful when you are expecting an email and you don't want to spend all day checking your email. Yahoo! and MSN already allow you to set up mobile email alerts for free.

WAP is used in cell phones for mobile internet access. This would allow Gmail users to check their mail with their cell phones. Very useful when you get a mobile email alert on a message you're expecting and you can't get to a computer to read the message. Yahoo! and MSN let you do this already for free.
