Gmail Labs

Gmail Labs collects new Gmail features (still considered experimental); they are deactivated by default, as they can stop working at any moment.

Activating Gmail Labs features

First of all, you have to use Gmail’s English inteface: go to Settings > General and choose the English (US)” from the drop-down menu. After that, save settings.

From now on, to activate a Gmail Labs feature, go to Settings > Labs (or, alternatively, click on the green tube next to “settings”) and choose the desired feature.
