Introducing Gmail Labs

A testing ground for experimental new features

Try out features in development and let us know what you think. To get started with Labs, currently available to Firefox 2 and IE7 users, click the Labs tab under Settings

Gmail Labs allows you to try out experimental new features in Gmail and send feedback to us so we can improve them. If you're going to brave the Labs world, it's important to keep the following things in mind about these features:

• They may break at any time
• Similarly, they may disappear temporarily or permanently
• They may work so well that they graduate and become regular features

So, with that in mind, If you encounter any problems while you have a Labs feature enabled, here are some things you can do:

• Go to http://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0 to temporarily disable Labs and get your account back to normal.
• If you'd like to help pinpoint the problem, you can disable each feature until the problem goes away; then, report what happened.
• Give us feedback in the Labs Google Group (http://groups.google.com/group/gmail-labs). You can use this group as a place to report bugs, tell us what you like and dislike about the feature, and share special ways in which you're using the feature.

We'll post updates about new Labs features to the Gmail blog, so stay tuned.
