Google is conducting a small survey to improve your Gmail experience.  You can select up to <strong>five features<\/strong> from the categorized list of possible features or share &#8220;a better idea&#8221; you might have. Even if you don&#8217;t have an idea, this list will make you think&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I liked some of these features and quickly completed the <a href=\"http:\/\/mail.google.com\/support\/bin\/request.py?contact_type=suggest\" rel=\"noopener\">one page feature survey<\/a>. In Personalization features, I request the Colorful <strong>background skins<\/strong> (for a new fresh look) and <strong>Rich text signatures<\/strong> (very much wanted to fully customize my email signature, though I can use the feedburner email signature hack).<\/p>\n<p>Personalization of messages is important. Pre-selected <strong>message template<\/strong> forms will enable us to write beautiful letters and dispatch custom newsletters. With added Drag-and-drop images, ability to change default font and additional <strong>backgrounds<\/strong> for messages, you can fully customize your email message.<\/p>\n<p>Labels are good, but some people really prefer <strong>folders<\/strong>. An option to change the Label system to Folders will be useful for a select group who still fiddle with labels. Hierarchy of Label system (i.e. <strong>sub-Labels<\/strong>) would be useful too.<\/p>\n<p>A More functional <strong>Contacts list<\/strong> will enable us to control who is added to my Contacts list. The ability to block a user from sending mail to my account, will take care of some persistent email spam issues.<\/p>\n<p>Conversation View changes with the option to <strong>turn Conversation View off<\/strong> will be useful for those who like to keep each email single. I would prefer the ability to add or remove messages from conversations, so that I can remove very old messages from my current conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Integration with other <strong>Google products<\/strong> like Calendar, Reader, Picasa, News, Blogger, and Orkut will further help to integrate these Google services.<\/p>\n<p>In the end is a <strong>host of new features<\/strong> to get you thinking. Helpful Additions would be a To-do list, Read Receipts, IMAP access, Import messages from other email accounts, Export messages to a CD for storage, Add notes to messages, SMS notifications for incoming messages, and Multi-person chat!
