Tools for the Gmail addict!!!

Gmail is becoming more popular by the day, but it's far from perfect. Let's take a look at some tools that will extend its functionality and makes it an even more worthwhile service. (afa, u should practising dis tools.huhuhu)

• gBooks: If your browser's bookmarks folder doesn't do enough for you, this clever tool turns your Gmail account into a bookmarks server. It makes your bookmarks available to you any time you log in to your Gmail account from anywhere.

• gCount: If you don't feel like firing up a browser to check your Gmail account, use gCount. Running on Mac OS X, the lightweight app sits in your Dock and gives you real-time updates on how many e-mails you have in your in-box
• Gmail Loader: Gmail now makes it easy to import e-mails to your account, but one solution for Windows or Linux PCs works just as well. This software reads the e-mails in your current e-mail program (most of the well-known services are supported) and automatically forwards them to your Gmail account. E-mails can be sent to either the in-box folder or sent items folder.
• Better Gmail 2: Better Gmail 2 combines a variety of Greasemonkey user scripts to enhance the functionality of the e-mail service. The software provides users with the option to use attachment icons and macros, place the in-box count first, and force an encrypted connection. It basically combines the best of Gmail Labs add-ons and puts them into one package for you.
• Drag and Drop Upload: If you don't want to search around for files and you don't like the Gmail file attachment process, use Drag and Drop Upload. Simply drop files into the attachment box or the "browse" button for attaching files on Gmail and you're set. The add-on will do the rest.
• GTDInbox: With the help of GTDInbox, you can improve your use of Gmail. The add-on turns e-mails into tasks, giving them a priority and allowing them to be viewed by project, context, or person. It also offers a popup command box that lets you preview, archive, or delete messages in just a few clicks. It streamlines many of Gmail's most-used features and works well. Try it out.
