Top Priority Mails Always Appear At Top

On 12th May I posted this blog "Top Priority Mails Should Always Appear At Top". Please read that if you are interested. Now I'm writing this blog as title "Top Priority Mails Always Appear At Top" :) I've removed the 'Should' from title. :D

I'm very happy that finally I'm successful to achieve this functionality in . No, no, no Gmail did not listen to me. It did not implement what I exactly need. But somehow now I can satisfy my desire by a lab and it is Multiple Inboxes :)

How did I do this?

1. First I made filter/criteria that I consider as high priority. e.g. mails from sunata.mehdi@gmail.com are high priority to me. So, even if I cannot check my emails for one month, I still want mails from sunata.mehdi@gmail.com should always appear at top of my mails. (I receive more than 100+ emails daily).

2. While created the filter I marked a label with it. The label is twin star '**'

3. Ok, so my filter and label are created. Now I need to make sure that all mails from sunata.mehdi@gmail.com appear at top.

4. Go to labs and enable 'Multiple Inboxes' lab.

5. After you've enabled it come to settings again and there you'll find new tab 'Multiple Inboxes'. Basically now you can create multiple five mail boxes of your desire. So, I'm going to create a mail box that will only show the twin star mails. Isn't that so simple?

6. In 'pane 0' I've written label:**. Many of you already might know that that is the way gmail can filter/search particular label's mail.

7. That is all. Clicking 'Save Changes' made everything. ;)

8. Now I clicked 'Inbox' and can see high priority emails are shown at top of my mail box. 

Special thanks to Vivi.

Attachment progress bar

Gmail has provided another great feature and that is attachment progress bar. It really helps you a lot and lot. Usually gmail provides this type of features through lab. But this special one they have provided default. I mean nothing to pick from lab at all.

Undo Send

Oops, hit "Send" too soon? Stop messages from being sent for a few seconds after hitting the send button.

I'm happy that gmail has given such help. Though it was not a big invention but it'll help a lot. I liked this 'undo send' feature very very much.

If you want to get this feature, login, go to lab, enable it.

At least browsers should have ability to save application's options userwise

At my work place I use several browsers due to my profession. Firefox, Safari, IE6, IE7 are those. I also work at home at off days and sometimes at night. I hugely feel that our software are still too dull to deal some of my dump requirements! Sometimes I feel that our software could have been smarter but I'm sorry I don't find them like that. Ok, let me explain the problem. The way I use browsers at work, I want, when I open browser at home they should appear with same setup/options that I last time did at my office. That is all.

I know for this feature user account is needed. No problem, I'm ready to take the pain to open an account and I also understand that browser should save all setup/options (that I did) on a server. Eureka...! Firefox is already free and they are giving it free to download. So, they do have a server. So, they can save there. :) bingo...

Was it not so simple? But why none has given such feature? I expect lot form google and I thought at least chrome would provide this. I know chrome has given lot advanced things but why not this? :(
