Regular readers know that I’m a huge Gmail fan.  I’ve written about the way I used Things + Gmail to make life a little easier (the comments have some great tips too!), but a while back I requested a feature from Google that would make my heart melt.

I discovered this morning that my wish had come true.  Anyone can now log into Gmail, go to Labs and enable the Send and Archive feature that allows you to hit tab + enter and it’ll send + archive your email. Once the response has been sent you go straight back to your inbox instead of hitting “y” to archive.  Nifty yeah?

It’s not the most mind blowing feature ever but it’s one that makes my life one step less complicated.

What other Gmail features warm YOUR heart as we come upon Valentine’s Day?

Hey James, I'm glad someone else is enjoying the Send & Archive feature as much as I am. I can't say I'm in love with multiple inboxes. I could use it for managing more than one Gmail account but everything else, once archived doesn't need to be pulled up unless I search for it. Let me know if you have any other favorites!

I love, love, love "Send & Archive". It motivated me to get my inbox organized. Now I only leave items I need to act on in my inbox; everything else is archived. I'm also using the new "multiple inboxes" feature to show highly contemporarily-relevant work-related messages in a separate inbox. Basically, I have an alternate inbox that is populated by a search for starred work-related emails. Now I love my inbox even more.
