Google Gmail received a new wardrobe for its labels. It took the labels and moved them near the inbox, sent and starred shortcuts giving you the possibility to hide or show them as you please. Now, you will be able to sort your massages by dragging and dropping them into labels. It’s like you’d add your messages into folders in any webmail system.

These features aren’t showing up in inbox yet but we’re waiting for Gmail to surprise us any day now.
