Leaked: Gmail Getting a Makeover...

Hey, Its a good and a unofficial one, but its a true news that Google is giving Gmail a Full-Flashed makeover..
The Web search giant accidentally slipped out a video on YouTube that gives a preview of the upcoming changes in its popular email service with Jason Cornwell (Gmail's user experience designer) sharing a presentation.

The video, which was immediately pulled out and has since then been marked private, revealed that the new Gmail will feature new changes like a cleaner design, updated search box that includes advanced options, new interface for conversations and high-resolution themes.

Cornwell reveals in the video, "We've completely redesigned the look and feel of Gmail to make it as clean, simple, and intuitive as possible."

Save Your Files to 'GMail Drive'

Hello, Doesn't it sounds weird 'The GMail Drive'...
But its true, GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to. 

When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the Gmail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.
You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag'n'drop like you're used to with the normal Explorer folders..
