New Gmail features you do not want to miss

On May 23, 2010 I blogged about 3 Gmail tricks , today I would like to post some new Gmail features which have made me productive and more secured. First thing, you may have noticed that the gmail url is https:// now. This gives users extra confidence as far as security is concerned. Now about features:

1. Insert Invitation in email: when you compose a new gmail, you will notice Insert: Invitation link beside Attachment link. This is a nice piece of work for gmail calendar integration. If your friends use google calendar, you will be able to see their availability, when you pick a time for the event. Also, your friends will have your even added automatically to their calendar. 
2. How many times you regretted sending an email in hurry because you either click Reply All where as you wanted to tell the secret to just one person or just sent to wrong Larry. The undo features under Gmail Labs let you correct your mistakes in 5 seconds. Its too short but much better than nothing. Try enabling under settings -> Labs link. 
3. Call any phone from gmail: Notice a Call phone link which brings up the phone dialer as shown here. I haven't tried International calls but google says its dirt cheap. 

Google is bringing innovation to our daily life in the form of these easy to use technologies. Few years ago, I do not remember any free email provider bringing any new feature or innovation this quick. If you like any of the long lists of beta features under Labs link, please share with our reader by commenting below. Happy gmailing !
