Cei care si-au deschis contul de Gmail azi au vazut probabil mesajul “A new look for Gmail” si au luat la cunostinta de noile modificari ale Gmail-ului.

Link-ul “Compose mail” a fost transformat intr-un buton (mult mai vizibil decat link-ul”, iar “Contacts” si “Tasks” au fost mutate in partea superioara a sidebar-ului, inaintea butonului de “Compose” si “Inbox“.
In afara acestor modificari vizibile inca din prima pagina de dupa logare, Gmail-ul a suferit modificari importante la managementul contactelor.
Updates to Contacts
We’ve also done a major overhaul to Contacts, adding a bunch of features you requested and making Contacts easier to use.
- Contacts work a lot more like Mail. Keyboard shortcuts now work in Contacts too, and we’ve made selecting and grouping contacts more like selecting and labeling email.
- Sort contacts by last name. Look underMore actionsfor this option.
- Use custom labels for phone numbers and other fields. For example, you can label a phone number as “Vacation home.” Please be aware, ActiveSync for iPhone and Blackberry Sync don’t yet support custom labels so custom labeled numbers/emails/etc. may not appear on your phone.
- Undo. Now, when you make changes to your contacts, you can undo your recent changes.
- Automatic saving. You no longer need to worry about “edit” mode or “view” mode — just edit away and Gmail will save your changes.
- Structured name fields. You can now set name components (i.e. Title, First, Middle, Last and Suffix) explicitly or continue to use the name field as a free form area if you prefer a less structured approach.
- Manual and bulk contact merge. You can now merge contacts from theMore actionsmenu. Just select the contacts you’d like to merge and selectMerge contactsfrom under theMore actionsmenu. Or, to get a list of suggestions for contacts to merge, selectFind and merge duplicates.
