Pretty cool:

Gmail S/MIME provides Firefox users with S/MIME support for Gmail. S/MIME support is integrated directly into Google’s Gmail web interface. Reading and sending of encrypted mail is supported. Verification of signatures is not currently supported. There are some interoperability and performance issues which I plan to iron out in later releases.

Interesting but I question the usability. I read over one hundred feeds every day and to be effective I use a high-quality RSS reader (NetNewsWire). I just can’t see this as being a very effective way for any but the most casual RSS reader to view RSS feeds. In any case, great catch Evan (screen capture available, follow the link):

Since I haven’t seen anyone posting about this, I suppose I will. I’m guessing not many people have it yet, but there’s a new feature in Gmail called Web Clips, which displays little headlines above your inbox or message and is fed via, um, feeds.

Update: My account now has 1393MB total storage. These guys are serious.

My GMail account now shows 1072MB instead of 1000MB. Looks like Yahoo and company have some disk arrays to install this weekend… :

Lots of us were wondering if Gmail would leave beta today, it’s first anniversary. The answer, according to this News.com article, is no. Gmail remains in beta.

However, the same story reports that Google is doubling the amount of storage space it offers from 1GB to 2GB today and then will add a “yet-to-be-determined amount of extra storage daily with no plans to stop.” It looks as if the day of the unlimited inbox is here.

I ain’t got it yet but I want it:

It was only yesterday when we at TechWhack were thinking about the shortcomings GMail has now compared to the market leaders MSN Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail. Only one thing came to mind, which was the rich text formatted email composing and mail forwarding. Looks like the souls at the Google Labs were listening to our requests as in the morning we just found that Google has enhanced its webmail service GMail to incorporate rich text editing facility!
