That is easy for them to use because they will have 4 default labels, likely the only four labels afterward. However, for old users of labels like me already have few hundred labels. The new feature only totally mess up my daily work. Imagine how a I could "drag and drop" to a correct label which may appears few pages below? It really doesn't help. On the other hand, I need click on the "more" button and scroll a few pages to get me correct labels. Previously, I could use Folder4gmail to provide a hierarchy structure to label, which is a function that Google not willing to provide. This change make me feel frustrated. Google is not a user friendly company any more. It becomes a big company who leave no option to users.

They are able to view all the labels using right-side labels and Folder4Gmail grouping related labels together.<br /><br />As someone said above, you are clearly part of the minority who are not affected by this "horrible" update.<br /><br />I am also more concerned with the way Google rolled out this update than with the update itself.

I'm using folders4gmail which is now broken. I don't want to see all my labels, neither do I want to see only the mot used. I want to see major label headings with sublabels nested - which is hat folders4gmail gave me. This is not the first time that an 'improvement' has been foisted on us.

But please, please bring right-side labels back in some form.<br /><br />If there's any way you can do that automatically for people who used to have the old right-side labels Lab feature selected, that would be good too - I have set up many, many Gmail accounts for technologically naive people, all of which had right-side labels enabled, and I know for a fact that some of those people will *not* be able to find their way into the Settings page to put them back.flabdablethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850822398196261348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-9363538659304541292009-07-03T00:01:09.346-07:002009-07-03T00:01:09.346-07:00There is a labs feature called right-side chat.

For me it's the total crippling of Folders4Gmail. Don't tell me, Google, that hierarchical folder support was an undocumented feature exploited by some scripting opportunist - Google IMAP access has built-in support for organizing labels with slashes as hierarchical folders!!! So you acknowledge the hierarchy of such labels in Gmail! Don't take away the Folders4Gmail capability, please.<br /><br />From the Gmail blog: "For those of you who created label names like _stuff or ++todo++ to force your most-used labels to the top..." Yes, for those of us who take control of our email reading rather than ceding control, Google says "screw you." This is the sad legacy of corporate software: make things seem easier for the lazy user by taking away control from the savvy user.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-12167340069529009812009-07-02T10:40:59.184-07:002009-07-02T10:40:59.184-07:00Please add an undo option!Please add an undo option!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879750013345762649noreply@blogger.com
