GMail receives a big update
by Volker Weber
- Gmail Notifier lives in your Windows tray, checks for new messages and displays their subjects, senders and snippets, all without having to open a web browser.
- The contact list now stores notes and phone numbers, lets you search or contacts. You can directly view messages from the contact list now.
- Automatic forwarding to another email account with filters. Google says it's free during the test, the first indication that GMail might not be free forever or completely.
- You are now able to save Drafts

... a "little" hidden feature seems to be the atom feed of your gmail inbox...
https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom - it works with netnewswire, put in username and password and you have your inbox as a feed, cool!

Scary thing about this, my old Gmail notifier seems to have updated itself automatically (I've been using it for a few weeks). I don't remember getting prompted to update the software, but yesterday I noticed that the icon in the system tray was different.
Then again, maybe I clicked the "OK" button on an update dialog in a drunken stupor... stranger things have happened. I just hate when software updates itself without asking.
