What’s new on Gmail?
Just launched! Gmail just added few enhancements:
Get mail from other accounts
Now Gmail can check for the mail you receive at your other email accounts. You can retrieve your mail (new and old) from up to five other email accounts and have them all in Gmail. Then you can even create a customized ‘From:’ address, which lets you send messages from Gmail, but have them look like they were sent from another one of your email accounts. Please note that you can only retrieve mail from accounts that have POP3 access enabled. Learn more or read the tutorial HERE!
More after the jump…
Reply on top
No more scrolling to the bottom of a long message to find the “Reply†link. Now there’s a Reply button right on top, along with a lot of other options under the little dropdown arrow.
Embarassment-reducing new message notifications
Ever replied to a message only to find out that someone sent a better, smarter reply right before you? Now, if someone sends a reply while you’re in the middle of reading a conversation (or replying to it), you’ll get a notification that a new message has arrived. Click “update conversation” to see what you’ve missed.
Forward all
When viewing a conversation, use the new “Forward all†link on the right if you want to forward the entire conversation instead of just one message.
Chat even when your friends are offline
Chatting in Gmail just keeps getting better. Now, if you’re chatting with a friend who goes offline, your friend will be able to see whatever you were typing the next time he or she goes online.
Get Gmail on your mobile phone
It’s new and it’s fast. To try it for yourself, point your phone to gmail.com/app
Download it once, and start accessing Gmail on your phone with just a click or two. You’ll also like it because:
- It has the same Gmail interface you know and love
- Your account stays synchronized whether you access it from your computer or the phone
- You can easily view attachments such as photos, documents and .pdf files

Unfortunately, gmail won’t let you grab mail from other gmail accounts. Error message, “You can’t fetch mail from Gmail accounts”
This new enhancement is supposed to do that. Can you try again!
