New version of Gmail released


Recommended Posts

This may be totally unrelated, but I notice that if I change my language from English (UK) to English (US) IMAP settings appear, and then if I change it back they disappear - so that *might* be why some of you aren't getting IMAP. No new version even when I switch to English (US) though - possibly because of the fact that I use Safari, which is confirmed to make Gmail cripple itself in other ways (e.g. no integrated GTalk).

That actually does affect it. You must be using English (US) to get IMAP. I remember reading that when it first launched. I dunno how much longer it'll take before everything else is supported.

Still waiting for IMAP (Since I live in the US, obviously English US is selected). My account was created in the first month or two that Gmail was out, so it definitely isn't going by when the account was created.

IMAP is still pretty useless for anyone that requires most of the gmail features. You cannot use your clients delete button, instead, you must drag it to Gmail/Trash, otherwise it will stay in the All Mail folder. Also, moving emails to a label on your client will only do the single email, not the conversation.

Overall, it's really just not worth using anything but the webmail interface. Hopefully google will come up with their own client though.

Not true on my Treo... not true at all.

I just noticed the new version of Gmail. I'm not sure though if I like it, though. I've noticed that it kind of takes sometime (longer than before) to switch between folders (Inbox, Sent, Trash,...), but viewing messages appears to be faster. (The Contacts changes is something I don't see myself raving about and it's really slow) I do like that I can now use IE7's search bar to search my messages (can even use the advanced operators)! :) And the new way to create and edit links is better.

All of my accounts now have new version and IMAP, including the two googlemail accounts (UK but set language to En-us) Have to say IMAP is a lot easier, wish my live.com account had it :)

lol .... i got the option of version on my new account which is 1 year old ... and iidn;t get on another mail account which is one and a half year old ....

i have opened second account with the help of first one through invitation ............

I've got it, but I have a question for everyone who has it. Is anyone else experiencing random lockups and crashes when using Firefox with the new version?

I have 2.0.0.9 (but it happened with 2.0.0.8 also) and have Firebug installed (which I disabled for Gmail according to the instructions they provided). I don't have any other Gmail-related addons installed either.

Am I just being really slow here but has anyone noticed that their space has like.. doubled? I'm sure I used to only have 2.something GB and this morning its 4.6GB and still slowly climbing?!

Yeah they are like doubling it now to compete with Live and Yahoo, never a bad thing :D

look at the upper right of mail.google.com it will say either older version or newer version that is actually a link so if it says older verson you are using the newer version

i didnt even notice the difference in the 2 even switching back and forth

if course all i do is just send a plain text email to people

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
