- Optional: use your keyboard to choose an entry
- Press enter to navigate to the label and close the window

Mailplane on 37signals and Citizen Garden
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Just found a nice post about the Mailplane's auto-bcc feature on the 37signals product blog.
If you’re interested in site specific browsers, listen to this podcast. Mailplane has been mentioned as one of the prime examples on how a site specific browser should work.
I very much share their vision and passion. Web applications such as Gmail are getting more important by the day. And site specific browsers are here to implement the "last mile," to free the web application from the browser tab and to combine the best of web and desktop world.
It's a great listen, much recommended.
Cutting Edge: Apply/Remove Label
Thursday, March 13, 2008
Gmail labels are very nice and they work great with filters. However, applying a label manually is cumbersome. Labels are kind of hidden in the "more actions" menu, the user has the use the mouse to do do it.Mailplane now makes applying and removing a label much easier. Everything can be done from the keyboard; no mouse interaction is required.
Either press Cmd-L (or just the "L") key and open the label auto completion. Then narrow down the list by entering a few letters, press the enter key to apply or remove the label.

Cutting Edge: Hide Spam counter and Gmail invitation box
The Google Spam filter is the best I know, hundreds of messages are filtered every day. I have currently over 5000 unread Spam messages in my Spam folder. However, the counter seems to be more important than my inbox counter, which isn't true I hope.Use the new Tweak UI preferences to hide the spam counter and/or the invitation box. Plus there is a setting to highlight the inbox row that is "under" the mouse pointer.
These new preferences are much inspired by the "Better Gmail" Firefox plugin.

Cutting Edge: Auto-BCC for Highrise users
If you are a Highrise user, this new setting may be important for you. It allows you to send all outgoing email to the Highrise dropbox email address. Inside Highrise, the email gets automatically attached to the right person or Highrise creates a new person on the fly. See the Highrise email page for more information.
Every Gmail account has its own Auto-BCC setting.
