8 Gmail Labs features you should be using

Did you know that Google has a Labs feature where they test out changes and enchancements to Gmail before making them a permanent part of their classic email platform?

Unfortunately, calling them Labs features doesn’t really do them justice. Some of these Labs are, to me, an essential and required part of Gmail. I highlight my 9 favorite Labs below.

So, how do YOU enable these features? Easy. Just log into Gmail, click the little gear icon in the top right hand corner, and choose Labs. Then, tick the Enable circle next to the features you want to enable and click Save Changes. That’s it! Gmail will reload with all of these new features in tow.

What Gmail Labs do you consider a requirement? Let us know!
