I should have also put the relevant point that I often want to do this from my BB, and you can’t even go into settings and uncheck your signature in the smartphone Gmail.

It’d be ideal if you could end your email with a string which would then block the signature from appending on.

Thanks

Ron,

I don’t know of a solution for this other than removing the signature manually for those emails that you don’t want a signature for. You don’t have to go all the way to the settings pane, just delete the signature from the email.

I hope I’m not asking a question that is obvious… If so, sorry. I looked around a bit and couldn’t seem to see anything relating…

My issue is that once in a while I want to send an email without my signature block. Other than going into settings and checking “no signature” before I write the email, I can’t find a way to do this.

Any help?

Thanks,
Ron

Some of these are great features that can be used in gmail. But there are a few that I don’t see a real big use for or what anyone would use them for.

The suggestion from momo could be useful.

My wish would be to group all the conversations from a person or with a tag under the same conversation. Yeah, labels are great, but if you want to keep up to date with the usenet groups, it is much better to have all the new messages inside only one message. Currently, my inbox is overflooded and if i use the option to “label n archive” then i lose track of the new messages.

@Munkypint: I agree gmail’s address book is kinda broken in that sense. The ability to “deactivate” an email address is something I’ve wanted for some time too. Hopefully, google is listening

@Vijay: Which browser are you using ? I use firefox and safari and the right-side chat works perfectly.

Other then the mass mailing mentioned by myself before, another useful feature would be the ability to disactivate an email without removing/deleting it. i.e. when someone retires and their professional email isn’t valid anymore, I do not want that persons old address to appear when composing an email. But it could be interesting to still have that email for search reasons for example.

Nice compilation.

I faced some issues on right side chat/label bar.

When I read the mails, the google ads and these right side bar are clashing. Which is very ugly.

I hope GMail will fix this.

I cant get the LABS tab to show up in my gmail account. It doesnt work for any of my gmail/google apps either.

I’ve switched all settings to English UK and turned on next generation features etc

Any ideas?

Hi Mark, thanks for the recommendation! I will take a look on it, it seems very interesting. When I said “Invites” I was thinking of a better integration with the events of Google Calender: Maybe with a button. If your wish-list gets implemented, then I’ll have to think harder of more suggestions!

I have a fairly short wishlist when it comes to Gmail as most of my wishes have already been done by Gmail :

1) drag and drop attachments by default
2) a more functional address book (mainly the ability to tick off the people you want to send the email to, instead of trying to remember who’s in your address book)
3) search inside attachments
4) delete attachments but keep the email.
5) a to-do list
6) tighter integration with Google Calendar.

If you want to drag and drop attachments, you can do this at the moment using a Firefox extension called “dragdropupload” – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2190 . I’ve been using it for a long time and it works perfectly. But you’re right – Gmail should have this built in by default.

Invites? To what?

By: David C.

David C. — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:16:44 +0000

My wishlist:
1) Paste images into emails
2) Drag&drop attachments
3) Drag&drop emails over a label to “label and archive”
4) Invites
5) Mini-calender linked with the Google-Calender and the option to create events without going to the Calender page
6) ability to open ZIP files without downloading them, and then select the files to unzip/download
7) search into attachments
option to save attachments in the Google documents web-space
9) option to select as attachment a Google document
10) to-do lists (with the option of linking important emails for the task)
11) Program email (to be sent automaticaly in 2, 3, 4 days)
12) sms notifications

and so on…
