Once enabled, it displays an Undo link on the screen next to where Gmail reports “Email Sent.” Click it within 30 seconds (configurable in the main Settings screen), and Gmail moves the message (which hasn’t really been sent yet) back into Drafts and lets you edit it again. That’s not good enough I need to be able to add to a message that I previously thought was done, and the Undo Send feature of Gmail Labs gives me that. Gmail, like many other email programs, lacks the concept of queuing outgoing messages, instead offering only a Drafts mailbox for in-progress messages that you haven’t yet sent. It was entirely common for me to remember something I wanted to add to a queued message, so I appreciated that approach, even though it created a little more work. Undo Send - One of the things I liked about Eudora was that I could queue messages for later delivery, which would happen either on my next mail check, or when I manually released them. This feature is commonplace in traditional email programs, and I would miss it horribly if it weren’t available in Gmail. Much of the time there’s no need to quote an entire original message in a reply, and with this feature enabled, you can select just the text you want quoted before replying.

Quote Selected Text - I consider this Gmail Labs feature essential for cutting some replies down to size. I won’t attempt a laundry list, but here are the ones that I find make an actual difference to my Gmail use, in rough order of importance. I recommend being somewhat conservative in how many you enable at a time, since a flaky Gmail Labs feature can in theory cause Gmail to fail to load. (For Google Apps accounts, there’s a Settings link at the top instead of the gear icon.) Then scroll down through the long list of items, clicking the Enable radio button for any that look interesting. To access Gmail Labs, click the gear icon at the top of Gmail’s Web interface page and click Labs in the menu that appears. I presume these are the sort of features that Gmail’s product managers consider unnecessary for most users, but they’re made available to anyone who wants them, and some are essential to my workflow. But as much as I’ve liked using Gmail, the fact that it has met my needs in large part has been due to the optional enhancements provided by Google engineers via Gmail Labs.
