While the desktop version of Gmail is one of the most popular e-mail services around, the mobile version has long left a lot to be desired. Fortunately Google rolled out an update this week that makes Gmail on your iPhone/PDA/mobile phone a bit more like the Gmail we've come to know and love on the desktop.The update includes more configurable labels and views. For example, you can see your Drafts and Spam boxes, you know in case you need some personal enhancement products. Or if a friend sent you a message that was accidentally marked as spam.
Probably the biggest improvement is checkboxes. You don't need to open a message in order to archive or delete it anymore. You can select a checkbox or multiple boxes to perform actions.

ooh yea. and I'm wondering how dramatic the new interface for the Gmail desktop will be. They really need to release some sort of stand-alone project to compete with thunderbird (forget outlook)

folders and labels have long been configurable for viewing in the main screen through "more views"

Have you noticed how the interface is different when you access it from an iPhone? It seems more polished, but is missing the very important "Report Spam" button. :(

I use emoze to push my gmail to my Nokia E61 - this definitely compliments the Google Gmail experience and I receive my emails and contacts in real time - real push and synchronization. I strongly recommend downloading the emoze program, which is free www.emoze.com
