Gmail Labs release almost daily more and more useful stuff that can make your Gmail friendlier and more usable.

Here’s what I use (and not):

• Quick Links – sounds like a cool idea, but I never really got around to actually use it. It’s there, though.
• Superstars – another gimmick I don’t usually use, since I mostly use labels to organize stuff. Still, looks cool.
• Mouse Gestures – would be cool, in theory, but I never let my e-mail pile up so it’s usually obsolete for my way of using Gmail.
• Signature Tweaks – of course. One of my biggest pet peeves of Gmail is the way that puts my signature at the bottom.
• Right-side Chat – a recent addition. I love the fact that in this way, chat (aka fun) is separated from work (aka e-mail), plus, it’s perfect for the 24 inches I work on, both at work and at home.
• Forgotten Attachment Detector – not too sure I’ll ever use it, but it’s useful to be on anyway.
• Mark as Read Button – yay! At last! Marking as read with a single click.
  

My pet peeve? Some of them, like Mark as Read button and Forgotten Attachment Detector, could be normal features, since they enhance usability too much.
