Gmail has some awesome “Labs” features
I haven’t been in there in awhile to play, but I’ve just added a bunch and I’m excited to see how they work. Some of these add surprising depth to Gmail. There are even more that I’m not currently using that are all about anticipating your needs, such as automatic language translation.
