Tip – Preview Inbox Before Gmail Loads Up

Most of you would already be using Gmail Labs – but for those who’re a bit lost – “Gmail Labs is a testing ground for experimental features that aren’t quite ready for primetime”. Although Gmail initially warns about instability of some Labs features, I haven’t encountered anything of that sort in months! Development is quite active on Gmail Labs (ever wondered why Gmail is still labelled ‘beta’?) and keep a lookout for new features every now and then. So, what is this Inbox Preview business all about?

This neat little feature lets you view the subject lines of your latest mail when Gmail is loading. Sweet! Log in to Gmail and head to the Labs settings page (the green conical flash icon). There, find Inbox Preview and select Enable and save the changes. You’re done! I’ve attached a few screenshots just to make the process even more simpler.

Uh-huh, you’re right, that is Chrome. I still am a Opera fanboy though, remember!
