Although few users know, Google takes into consideration all the suggestions of features that users do on Gmail. When there is a big appeal for a particular functionality, it is usually added to Gmail Labs, the "test center" of the new features of the e-mail. Once added to GLabs, features are being tracked by Google. The more used, the higher the likelihood of them being incorporated by Gmail. And that's what happened to three of the features tested in service.
The first, and perhaps the funniest (but no less important), was the promotion of "Super Star". Widely used by most users, the stars are for Gmail that people mark their messages in different ways, indicating the level of importance that each one has. Now, users now have 12 different images, but can choose to display only one or four images. To use them, simply click on the white star just before the start of the subject. The order of appearance of stars can be defined by the user dragging the images into the order you prefer.
The second feature that was incorporated by Gmail is that of nested bookmarks. Added GLabs in April last year, the hierarchical system of markers came with the intention of making life easier for those who are accustomed to the system folders (present in all email clients) and that, when faced with system markers Gmail, just getting a bit lost.
The process, which initially was complicated, was redesigned by Google before being finalized. Now, clicking the box on the right side of a marker and choosing "Add sub-bullets", a screen is loaded to the user, where it will set the new bookmark name and select the new label which will be subordinate. The process is identical to the creation of new markers within the Gmail settings.
The third feature was the built-in Gmail that allows advanced configuration of the IMAP protocol. With this news, users will have a greater choice on the operation of IMAP, and can ensure greater security of their accounts. Among the options the new functionality, which stands out most is that which allows the users to define the number of messages to an IMAP folder can have. Furthermore, access to the Bookmark Manager, the user shall have the option to define which markers will be uploaded by the client e-mail.
