While not a game changing feature for most people here (since most people have their own filters that do this), it's a great feature for the non-techies using GMail.<p>GMail does a great job of keeping everyone happy. An example is how they added "Folders" (edit: it's called 'move to', but it's basically folders) for people who didn't understand labels, without ruining labels.
Anyone know whether this learns from your actions, in the same way as spam filtering and Priority Inbox do? i.e. if I remove the Bulk label from a conversation, does that make similar conversations less likely to be labelled as Bulk in future?
What they need to do is make "Nested Labels" and "Hide Read Labels" work nicely together.<p>Also for "Nested Labels", enabling a label count of the sub-labels in the main label would be great. Where did "Hide Read Labels" go?
As administrator of a Google Apps account, will my messages get marked as bulk mailings if I send out something to everyone in my organization? I suppose I could ask the same about the priority inbox. Because there are certain classes of messages I may have to send out that everyone needs to read.<p>I guess this could be mitigated by some sort of an urgent notification from your admin feature on the Google Apps dashboard. I suspect I might send some mailings I'm content to let Gmail mark as bulk.
I hope they add the ability to re-order labels soon. Either that, or Sparrow adds some ability to re-order labels and slightly better label integration.
I'm fed up with Gmail lately. Priority Inbox is a mess. And lots of mail keeps going to 'Spam', which before I moved was hidden. Most 'Spam' is from my support ticket software. I mark it 'Not spam', and it still goes there. Perhaps it's time for someone to release a simple online mail service..
While the smart label feature itself works in Google Apps, it seems like the configuration support (editing the default filters etc) doesn't. I can't seem to edit any of the smart-label filters through the Settings dialog.
I'm disappointed how they solved this problem. I was hoping they would use clustering to figure out what label to apply based on whats already been labelled. I thought that was the next logical step from 'Priority Inbox'.
This is nice, but please: release a feature that lets you add notes to messages already!<p>I have so many threads in which I've left open drafts to be able to add a few comments.
