I suggest you try the SMS messaging, the custom colors for labels (especially if you’re a label-holic such as myself), pictures in chat, and Google Calendar. There are plenty more that may be useful, but those seem to be really handy for myself.

Call it a trick, call it a hint or whatever, but what you are about to see is just plain cool. Say you signup for gmail and have the username google. Well you can receive email that comes to the names: go.ogle@gmail.com, goo.g.le@gmail.com and any combination of periods. That may not be exciting as this next little setting.
Want to make a filter for your gmail? Want to make it so you know exactly where you signed up from that you’re getting this email? Well try this: If you again had the username google, you could add a plus sign (+) to the end and add whatever you want!
- Example: google+playboy.com@gmail.com.
This will remind you when you get spam that you did sign up to playboy or whatever site using that email address. Very helpful way to search for emails if you are looking for a specific one, or set of emails, just use this trick!
