Google rolling out Gmail 2.0…quietly

Much like the recently-introduced and much-beloved IMAP support for Gmail, Google is now rolling out what only rumored to be true a month ago: version 2.0. It’s a definite rollout, as not everyone has access to it yet, but it’s got a slightly new look, and many are claiming increased speeds and improved contact management. To see if you’ve got access to it, check the upper-right between "Settings" and "Help" for a new/old version toggle. So far, we don’t have it on our accounts…do you?

    I call shenanigans! No such things showing up yet, and my invite email dates to 6/2004.

    I have it in 1 of my 4 gmail accounts. It’s on one that I rarely use and I didn’t notice much difference between versions.

    I only took a quick glance.

    Not here yet…. but I still don’t have IMAP. So much for benefits of being an early adopter.

    wierd, i have the newer/older toggle link in Firefox, not in IE. I did notice some new features when you mouse over a contact in an email, but when I go to the contacts menu, the right pane becomes blank.

    Got the upgrade to 2.0. Doesn’t seem that different.

    Mine also defaulted to IMAP. I wish they would have waited for me to select it. It messed up my Blackberry setup too. I would have changed over eventually anyway, but like I said, would have been nice to have the option

    I don’t have a new/old toggle, but I do have an IMAP option in my settings. Better check there.

    I have it…..and so can you. For older version, your URL will look like:

    http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1

    Change it to:

    http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2#inbox

    I have it. The only thing new i noticed is that it alot faster. It use to take about a minute to pull up my mail but now its up as soon as i hit sign-in. =]. And i dont think it has anything to do with signup date becuase my account is less than a year old.
