The most number of users using Gmail has risen by a healthy 25 percent this half year beating the other major player AOL Email which has declined by 22 percent. Thus Gmail is officially the third most favorite Web mail service provider in the US. While at number 2, there rests Windows Hotmail with 47 million unique visitors and at number 1, the un-negotiable rests Yahoo mail with its 106 million monthly unique visitors.
So, what made Gmail attain this extraordinary feat even though it had been a month that Google Apps had come out of beta? The main thing I consider is, the exclusive features provided by Gmail Labs. The features if placed at a reasonable price, would bring in more revenue to Google adding up to the already hugely successful Adwords. So, what are the popular features which Gmail Labs provides to the end users?
I shall name the services which I use in Gmail and which I assume would be useful to one and all for common everyday use.
- Stop sending mail which you should have never Sent
- Save Templates of Mails Which you can send again and again
- Keep a Track on what you are gonna do and have done
- Turn an email into a Google Doc
- Access Your Gmail account offline
- Access Multiple Inboxes at the same time
- My favorite feature: I vent out my angst in the mail and Click Send. then I Undo sending the mail. Ugh!I am cool now!
- Gmail Search made faster with Autocomplete
- Google Search From Gmail itself
- Preview your inbox while Gmail is loading
And there are more to add to this very useful list of features which I use.
Do share with us what you think is the most useful Gmail Labs feature which you are using.
There are more features coming soon (from the Labs). I think Gmail will be the No.1 in soon future. I love Gmail, no other providers can beat it =)

Absolutely True Jacob.
I would love to Gmail at the number one position too, but what if, Google sets a price for the services it offers at that point of time??
