Gmail now have system specific labels

I found that there are some system specific labels in Gmail now. Some words, such as Unread, Inbox, Draft & Drafts, are definitely forbad as a label name now, it means that you can not create the "Unread" label on your new Gmail account, but old account that already created this label can keep it until...... (When? I don't know, it's up to Google. ^_^)

Now known system specific labels are here:
Unread, Inbox, Draft, Drafts, All, All Mail, Trash, Spam, Sent, Sent Mail, Star and Starred.
I believe there must be more, hope you can find all of it:)

GmailFS for Windows

Gmail Driver

Here is the GmailFS windows edition that allowing you to use GMail as a storage media.

When you installed this software, a new driver will be automatic added into your windows system with default name GMail Drive (see picture right side), and you will be asked for the username and password of your gmail account at the first time you click the icons of this virtual drivers, then it will works just fine, you will see some files if your email box isn't empty.

the only supported operation now is copy, cut, delete and create new folder. Due to the Gmail attatchment size limitations you will not allowed to copy or cut the files larger than 10mb into the GmailFS drives, if you do so, you will get this error message.

Here is some screenshots:

Microsoft MSN Messenger 7.0.0205 Beta Leaked

MSN Messenger is clearly progressing in this early look at 7.0. You now have the ability to sign in as busy/away/offline etc which will please a lot of people. 3 Degrees is finally encorporated into MSN Messenger (something I had been writing about for more than a year). The interface is cleaner, smarter and the features are great!

The build in question is 7.0.0205 and carries the beta tag throughout. The main MSN Messenger window is redesigned to show your display picture and includes the ability to scroll through tabs. There's no new options in the main options menu but you can change the position of the tab icons. When a contact signs in using MSN Messenger 6 or above you get the contacts display picture on the sign in toast. Custom emoticons are still the same, they still do not animate or allow animated GIFs etc. Check out the screenshots below for more features and the general user interface. MSN Messenger 7.0 is expected to be released into beta on November 11 with a general "MSN Messenger Wave 10" release as late as February 2005. We'll keep you updated but for now enjoy the screenshots.

According to Microsoft-watch.com and reliable sources, MSN are planning to release Messenger 7 into beta testing on BetaPlace as early as next Tuesday. We exclusively revealed the new client yesterday amongst a lot of hype and anticipation. MSN were due to encorporate some added features into MSN Messenger 7 but it seems like these are delayed until a later "wave". For those wondering, a "wave" is a release (be it .1 or major).

MSN Spaces integration: Blogging straight from MSN Messenger Window

Personal Information Management: Intergration with MSN Explorer to truely manage your contacts and build lots of information about them.

Since MSN Messenger 7 is now due to beta next week, the public preview will follow in November and an earlier final release is now expected.

The latest build is 207.
