You will not surprise to know that gmail was in beta phase, and now after five successful years of gmail now finally beta label is removed from gmail. Adding more than 40 new features. As we wind down after a busy year, here's a look back at a handful of favorite additions to Gmail. Hope you enjoy trying them out as much as we enjoyed building them.
- Tasks, onto your phone and out of Labs
- An improved mobile experience, including push Gmail and a complete redesign
- Four new themes to make Gmail sparkle
- Offline Gmail and its graduation from Labs
- Drag and drop labels
- More fast previews, including PowerPoint and TIFF
- Multi-select attachments for faster, smoother file sharing
- A way to eliminate duplicate contacts with a single button
- More storage for less moolah
- Lots of new labs experiments, including undo send, automatic message translation, and "Got the wrong bob?"

Congratulations with this achievement and a happy new year to you all who made Gmail possible.
As a user of your premium mail services, I can say with confidence that you have some things to fix, and some things to add.
Fix these:
- Migration tools (from Domino to Google Mail). This works only sometimes, and fails almost all times.
- User and Group creation tools and API - these are too fast changing and the libraries and docs do not keep up with what's pushed out into production by your teams.
Support these:
- LDAPs integration for address books (e.g. corporate address books)
- Groups should come up in Address Bar searches (just like we can search for names from the Personal Address Book)
- Support Mail Encryption and Decryption - needed by lots of corporates.
- Support mail backups - will be of use to corporates
Those points that I mentioned earlier were more for corporates.
By itself, gmail has changed how I interact with people. I now look forward to more communication with colleagues and with customers.
You've done a great job :)
