New Gmail Features
This morning, new features appeared in Gmail. The official Gmail new features page just says "New features coming soon!", presumable because they take a while to reach everybody, but I've got them, so here's what I've found:
Contacts list: Moved to the main screen. New list of frequently used contacts
Drafts: You know have the ability to save a draft
Atom: You can now receive your new mail notifications in your RSS reader

The Contacts update and Drafts are features users have been clamoring for for a while, while the Atom notifications are just a brilliant idea. Also, I'm not sure if this is a new feature, but I just noticed it for the first time, but you can set up automatic forwarding of your Gmail to another email inbox. That's everything I've noticed so far. If you see anything, let me know.

That's great. I have hardly been using my gmail account because I couldn't forward my yahoo mail into it.

It's there, but not all accounts have been updated yet. Don't worry, you'll see it soon.

This is the Atom link:

https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom

Some readers on the Blogspot blog report that they can use the link, even though they have no Atom link in their Gmail. There's a lot of chatter over there about this. You should check it out at http://insidegoogle.blogspot.com/2004/10/new-gmail-features.html.
