Google Rollout GMail 2.0

Google are starting to roll out their new and improved new look GMail 2.0 to a few selected users. you may be one of those selected users. To find out, login to GMail and look for a "new version" link at the top of the page.

So what does GMail 2.0 do that the old GMail didn't? Well the main differences are a completely re-written Javascript backend to make GMail faster, and a whole new contacts manager to help you find those special people when you need to find them most.

The other new feature that i am especially liking is the filter. The old "more actions" drop down box now contains a "filter messages like these" option which will open a filter options box.


Does anyone else find it sad that GMail 1.x didn't make it out of beta? :'( *tear*

What does the filter do exactly?...

Anonymous said...

I think the filter lets you put messages in to groups, spam or labels based on what the message contains. So if you want all messages containing the word "penis" to be spammed or all messages from a certain forum labeled with a word the filter will let you do that.

Tymme said...

Lets you do the following by from/to/subject, contains/doesn't contain words.

Skip the Inbox(Archive it)
Mark as read
Star it
Apply the label:
Forward it to:
Delete it

Great post. It is about time they made some of these updates.

All this and they couldn't improve the signature feature? Sure would be nice to be able to change the font, for crying out loud!

Interestingly, I recommended this "Filter emails like these" to them feature about 6 months ago. I made a suggestion to them about using a per-tag bayesian filter to automatically filter content into the tags based on their content. Though it looks like they may have taken it a bit further?

So much for the "groundbreaking filter feature" I was going to include in my own email service. But hey, I love GMail and they now have both features I was going to include in my own service... IMAP and this kind of filtering. I can stop developing now as soon as its in Google Apps. :-p

Confirmed. I would add that for me, the new version was activated by default. I noticed when hovering over a G-mail chat contact that the display of options for chat contacts is cleaner, slightly reorganized, and emphasizes the contact picture/photo more. i thought that only that portion had been re-designed until I saw this blog post on Digg.

"gmail already has an email filter."


True, but now there's a filter option in the drop down box. Much easier.

Unknown said...

Yeah I was automatically switched.. seems for most people instead of New Version to signify you being upgraded, you will see Older Version link instead up there...

Bryan said...

The most notable feature for me is that Better Gmail (what gmail 2.0 should have been like) no longer works.

Anonymous said...

OK, does anyone have any idea why my contacts do not show up in the newer version?

Jeremy said...

Can I just get IMAP turned on for my account? Over a week since the announcement and still no IMAP love for me.

claude mann said...

Any ideas why my contacts aren't showing up in the new version?

Anonymous said...

Member since early 2004, no IMAP and no 2.0 for me yet... Definitely disappointed.

people get a life. its just email. its not like your life is going to change because of a new service.

Some of our lives revolve around email, first imap, then this, yowser- 3 stars! I'd give it four, but star robert goulet passed away today...

I wish they would have a whitelist / blacklist and keyword filtering (i.e. ability to auto-filter as spam email with words like "viagra", etc.)

Also ability to filter in/out entire domain names, etc.

I must be special cause I got it this morning, bit I've had my account since first launch.

Anonymous said...

I looked, and didn't see anything about the new version, but I did see a link "older version." So I clicked on it- which looks the same quite honestly. The old version had the link "new version." I went back to that - so I guess I have the new 2.0.

Wow - the 2% elite.

i've been a member since like sept 03, how come i don't get the newer version :(

Hey Google, how about stop rolling out new stuff and start rolling about some basic functionality?

You know, normal POP access (not this download at computer A once and use the crappy recent mode for computer X, Y and Z), allow POP to download mail you CC yourself, ability to disable spam filter, option for forwarding ALL mail including spam, etc. You know, basic stuff that improves functionality to make Gmail better, not just prettier.

Interesting news... Especially if we know that version 1.x is still in beta...

well that doesn't stop me to use it as my primary email account..

Anonymous said...

Anyone notice you can still invite a friend? When will they get rid of that?

Unknown said...

i'm one of the lucky few that's seen Gmail 2.0 , and yes - it rocks.

the updated address book/contact stuff is awesome.

Anonymous said...

Maybe people with the 2.0 version can invite others to upgrade?

Anonymous said...

Haha, I have to agree with the very first comment by Matt. I've always felt that Gmail never made it out of Beta. I know it's just email but there's something clunky and unrefined about it. Not what I'd expect from a multi-billion dollar company! Then again, they're not really in the email business are they?

what was their criteria for to select users to enable this new features, i didn't got it but my friend who hardly uses it got that.

wentwj said...

@hans,

I've really always felt the opposite. Gmail was always the only application that I thought got web based e-mail right. It always seems smooth enough for me, and I personally loved the conversation style e-mail management.

Anyway, I guess different people act differently, but I always hated web-based e-mail until Gmail came around, and now I swear by it.

Anonymous said...

People at Google want to impose to their users their own concept of what email is and how those users should use it. And this makes me sick. We have seen Google get positive distinctions in many spheres and we are sincerely thankful for their different developments. However, I honestly find it outrageous that Google people, through Gmail, still insist, for instance, on not providing the SORT email by Sender or Subject or Date, like Hotmail and Yahoo do.

Sometimes it's just smarter to listen to what your Customers want to get in your product even if you, developers, think differently.

Where have you guys been? I have been using these feature for 6 + weeks?

Kieren said...

I'd guess that like the iMap functionality last week, you need to be using the English(US) version of gMail in order to see v2.0. I was using English(UK) and didn't get imap until I switched and now I also have the new version of gMail.

I'm happy to live with that until they roll it out to other languages.

This has been standard practice for Google for a long time. When they introduced chat into gMail it was introduced to English US first and then rolled out to the rest of the world.

Kieren said...

Another new thing I noticed was that if you use the Firebug addon in Firefox and it is enabled, gMail will warn you that it runs slower with Firebug. It then explains how you can disable Firebug for gmail. I saw this yesterday but until I saw this post, I hadn't actually noticed the upgrade!

Unknown said...

w00t, new gmail is mii-i-i-ine :D

Anonymous said...

I'll be looking forward to when I receive the new version. Nothing so far.

Anonymous said...

It does seem a bit faster... the real test will be on my aging Mac at home.

But I do wish they would allow different signatures per account. It's inconvenient to remove my work sig from personal emails.

▓▒░ TORLEY ░▒▓ said...

I definitely notice a pleasant speed increase in Firefox. For a long time, I've wondered why Gmail seems faster in IE 6 than Firefox 2 for me, but the performance is more tolerable now — especially noticeable when I'm paging from one message to the next. :)

So THAT's why Google Talk suddenly works in Safari... Rock on!
