Your Workteam Collaboration Suite has access to all the resources of Google behind it. Not only do you have over seven gigabytes of storage space and a full suite of Workteam Collaboration tools, you also have access to Google Labs- the testing ground for new features. By enabling some of these tools, you can take greater control over your webmail experience.

You’ll find the Google Labs options in your mail settings, which you can access from the upper right of your email. Then just click the ‘Labs’ tab to find all your options:

Some tools simply enhance or improve existing functions, Forgotten Attachment Detector, for example, helps you ensure that your attachments are included when you click the send button. Likewise Signature Tweaks simply changes where your signature appears on a reply.

Other tools, like Tasks, and Canned Responses add entirely new features. Tasks adds a new item below your contacts list, a pop-up editable task list, complete with due date scheduling and notes. Canned Responses saves the messages and text you send frequently which can be added to a new email with just a couple clicks.

There are plenty more options available through Google Labs and there’s always new tools on the way. If there’s something about using Google Applications that frustrates or annoys you, you might just find the solution in Google Labs, and if you don’t, just wait. Someone may just build it for you.
