Update 20 Jan 2010: Exactly four days after my Gmail account being temporarily disabled, it’s now active again. A email notice was sent to me this morning:

“We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. The issue you described should now be resolved.

If you are still having trouble accessing your account and you still have access to the email address you used to create your account, please reset your password by visiting here. If you aren’t receiving the password-assistance email, please check your inbox for an email from accounts-noreply@google.com.

This is good. I am waiting for and thinking about it for a long time.

Whenever I sign up / register to a free services, we are unintentionally or intentionally be subscribeb by the free service owner to receive a periodical email notification from their companies.

Now Gmail has the feature to easily unsubscribe from them infact from any email you don’t like. Sure, there’s already “Spam” command feature, but this “unsubcribe” feature is even better because there’re times when you don’t want to include a particular company’s email into spam category yet you just don’t like the notification.
Unsubscribing from mailing lists and newsletters you subscribed to a while back but no longer want to receive should be just as easy. Searching through individual messages for little unsubscribe links is too big a pain —you should be able to unsubscribe with a single click.

So we just launched something that makes this all work better, both for Gmail users and big email senders. Now, when you report spam on a legitimate newsletter or mailing list, we’ll help you unsubscribe.

… Clicking “Unsubscribe” will automatically send a request back to the sender so they’ll stop emailing you.

Google beds Microsoft for mobile sync service
Google on Monday announced a beta version of Google Sync for the iPhone and Windows Mobile phones, software that synchronizes Gmail Contacts and Google Calendar events across the Web, computers, and mobile devices. And Microsoft would like to remind the world that, despite the image that Google cultivates as the workplace of choice for engineering talent, the Silicon Valley search company isn’t the only place where top researchers roam. In a statement, Microsoft said that Google’s new software was made possible by a license from Microsoft.

With Offline Gmail, we can read our Gmail’s email offline:

Today we’re starting to roll out an experimental feature in Gmail Labs that should help fill in those gaps: offline Gmail. So even if you’re offline, you can open your web browser, go to gmail.com, and get to your mail just like you’re used to.

Once you turn on this feature, Gmail uses Gears to download a local cache of your mail. As long as you’re connected to the network, that cache is synchronized with Gmail’s servers. When you lose your connection, Gmail automatically switches to offline mode, and uses the data stored on your computer’s hard drive instead of the information sent across the network. You can read messages, star and label them, and do all of the things you’re used to doing while reading your webmail online. Any messages you send while offline will be placed in your outbox and automatically sent the next time Gmail detects a connection. And if you’re on an unreliable or slow connection (like when you’re “borrowing” your neighbor’s wireless), you can choose to use “flaky connection mode,” which is somewhere in between: it uses the local cache as if you were disconnected, but still synchronizes your mail with the server in the background. Our goal is to provide nearly the same browser-based Gmail experience whether you’re using the data cached on your computer or talking directly to the server.

Of course, it’s still in beta. And it’s still tried only in US or UK for next days. Be prepared, however, to always look over at your Gmail tab if the facility is already available for you. If it’s the case do the following:

1. Click Settings and click the Labs tab.
2. Select Enable next to Offline Gmail.
3. Click Save Changes.
4. After your browser reloads, you’ll see a new “Offline0.1″ link in the upper righthand corner of your account, next to your username. Click this link to start the offline set up process and download Gears if you don’t already have it.

Gmail introduces another features in its Gmail Chat: YouTube and Google Video previews.

If you receive (or send) a link to a video in a chat message, you’ll see a preview of the video right in your chat window.

Click the preview, and the video will play right there. Just remember to say something every once in a while or your friends will probably catch on that you’re enjoying the dramatic chipmunk more than their conversation…

Another good news from Gmail:
No more copying and pasting the text from your email — just open the message you wish to convert, click the “Create a document” link on the right side of the page, and voila, you have a brand new document which you can then modify and share!

Google should do this to all its services: integrating one another in a single click. Otherwise, the various services will go wasted. I expect to see blogger.com being integrated with other google just acquired services to solidify blogger.com vis a vis its main rival wordpress.com

Good news especially for those who have a slow internet connection, or outdated pc or view email through cell phone:
