Matt Cutts has this recent post on his blog about the one feature he really craves to have on Gmail – to be able to set timers to your mails to have them sent later or just delay them like the comments on digg are waitlisted for editing ( to avoid sending those silly typos).
A feature that I would really like is to set priorities on mails so they kind of float to the top or could give a little buzz after a while. I know the star feature and labels also could be great for that but still the list just grows. Also, would like to see some kind of activity from my mails.
Often, I have to refer more than one mail and in the huge conversation list that files up and its pretty hard making out one mail from the other in the line. Perhaps a new UI for the filing of conversations as well.
What more features would you want in Gmail? Or, if you do know about GreaseMonkey APIs that do nifty things, would be great to know about that.

February 14, 2008 at 5:29 amI would like to have the ability to add/remove emails to a conversation. Sometimes Gmail splits the conversation into two or more seperate emails.
I would also like the ability for Gmail to better handle long conversations. Sometimes I use Gmail for work and conversations can get way to long, and often the email won’t open at all.
A drag and drop feature would be nice, although most my items are auto labeled, it would be good if yet-unlabeled emails can be labeled by simply dragging them to a label in the label list, instead of selecting it from the drop down menu

Yes, a better way to manage the conversations does seem to be needed but I still felt that the color coding has made things better.
There are drag and drop features available from several greasemonkey APIs. Do give a look to these.

I want gmail to send all my emails or selected emails from my inbox or specified folder to my google reader. This way I can keep a track of both emails and my fav feeds too…
Hope it is implemented soon…
Take Care.
