I like most of the features of gmail. How about a video email capability?

Thanks for setting up this line of discussion Matt.

I love most of the ideas I read here but I don’t know if this one was brought up:
I wish there was a way to switch the order of emails in a thread so the newest one showed at the top. I get the concept of threaded email having the newest at the bottom but I think it should be an option.

Another is I don’t understand for the life of me why there isn’t a better task management system within Gmail. I spoke with Peter Norvig at a conference a while back and asked him if a better task implementation was coming and he said he knew of a couple people working on one and he thought it would be coming – he just didn’t know when. All vague understandably but that was almost 2 years ago… and this must be a necessary feature staring the Google Apps team in the face?

Anyway, that’s my rant for the day I love the Google tools and just want them to get even better, hopefully my thoughts are of some help.

How about a “Move to Inbox” (a.k.a. un-archive) keyboard shortcut? It seems to be the only action without a shortcut!

Can we use gmail with our domain name ? e.g. info@mydomain.gmail.com ?

An arrow, button or some other feature built into the interface, as opposed to only keyboard shortcuts (Like every other email program) to move to the next message in your box instead of always using the “Back to Inbox” link and clicking the next message to open it. It would be nice (and logical) to be able to delete a message and the next message automatically opens, or have arrows next to the message view port to click and automatically open the previous or next message without having to navigate back through the ‘Back to Inbox” link. Of all email clients I would think this would be a given for Gmail.

Hey Matt –

We’ve built a Firefox/Chrome plugin with an IMAP backend that does exactly what you want. It lets you send messages later and also lets you take them out of your inbox for a period of time, returning them when you need to be “tickled” to do something.

You can get it at http://www.baydin.com/boomerang4gmail and just email me or DM me (@awmoore on twitter) for an invitation code.

I am very interested in the “Gmail Send later” feature. Can you confirm that it is already in the labs?

I would like the ability to rearrange the order of the labels.

I’d like the ability to create a filter based on time ie. I could create a filter that would archive and label any email sent to my work address from 6pm to 10am. I check email all the time but don’t even want to see support requests after hours.

The scheduled send would be great too of course, be great for when a hot girl emails you and you wanna respond right away cuz you’re all excited but you don’t want to seem all eager “delayed send in 3 days” check!
