Enabling GMail 2.0 changes in Google App's

I have blogged before about wanting Gmail Updates in Google App's.  My main desire is to enable color labels for my corporate email. Well I found a solution and wanted to share it.

Log in as a Administrator and choose to manage your domain

Once your in to the dashboard choose the domain settings from menu bar.  At bottom of the screen in the Control Panel section check box that says "Turn on new application features to my domain before they are rolled out to all Google App's customers".  Save your changes.

It took a day or two for my settings to take effect, but now my corporate email has all the great features that are available to GMail.

Gmail Update for Google Apps

I have grown to love color labels in Gmail.  As well as the other great features recently added.  Google Gmail rocks! 

Now I also use Google Apps and as a part of that of of course is Gmail for my domain.  I need color labels for that account please!  I know your working on it, but can you give a time frame?  I'll plan a little party! 

Make it available to premium accounts and I will upgrade!  I love them that much.

I have been using FlightStats.com for a well a over a year and become very dependent on them.  I had even added their Co-Op search to my Google Account.

Google apparently did to.  Google announced the inclusion of FlightStats.com data with out the subscribing to FlighStats Co-Op Search.

Congratulations FlightStats, nice to see you received such great recognition.  You deserve it.

Have you seen GMail v2 yet?

I still have not seen the much talked about update to GMail.  The GMail blog mentions it.  The Google Operating System guys have screen shots in their blog.  So I guess it's true. 

The only thing I can't figure out is the roll out schedule.  I'm not a patient person.  So I keep checking for the new features link.  To no avail.

Any one else seen it?

IMAP in GMail

Gmail is in the process of rolling out IMAP.  This is big news for you Outlook and other fat client users.  Will do a much better of keeping everything in sync. 

When you label in Outlook, or your phone, or your GMail web client all the others will follow.  No more put resorting on multiple devices.
