  • I would love to know where to go to find out how to do the following with gmail:

    1. Ungroup conversations that are unrelated, but gmail has grouped together.

    2. Print only the email I am reading, instread of the default "print all" which prints out every unrelated conversation that gmail has chosen must be grouped together.

    3. Delete one unrelated email in the group; when one is deleted all conversations disappear...
  • Would you rather that you, as a paying customer, be exposed to games of snake and signature randomizers that could quite possibly be quite broken?
  • Rich -- Not sure what to tell you.

    Akash -- I would rather that I as a paying customer, have the ability to turn the features on should I want to. The "feature" they added was the ability to turn those things on should you want them. If I turn it on, and it's broken, then that's my own fault. Not having the ability to turn them on at all is an entirely different point, and was the point that I was making.
  • Matt -- I'll concede that, but I suppose in Google's position they have to be wary of the odd end user that will inadvertently click the wrong button. Heck, they even have a warning for their "Report phishing" system.
  • Yeah, don't get me wrong, I don't have blinders on about the potential risk. I just personally feel it is something that should be available to the administrators at the least. I don't use my account for business, it's just for my personal email, but that also means I'm the administrator, so I'd be ok with having to turn on features from my admin panel.
  • What? Why don't you have access to this? I know I do, and I just have a regular GMail account...
  • Exactly John. You have regular old GMail and you have access to turn it on, yet as a paying customer, I do not. Pretty odd.
  • I am not a paying customer, and I have access to Gmail Labs. You have to have Firefox 2.0 browser though... so if you don't, you're outta luck. The Labs don't appear on my computer at work, because they run IE 6 here. However, at home... I'm good to go! There are some REALLY REALLY cool new test features--and I don't pay Google a cent.
  • Oh wait... I misunderstood what you said. haha. I didn't realize people who pay for Gmail, don't have access. That's pretty lame.
