Google finally REPLIED to my request! COLOR LABELS!

I was twittering around today and people were mentioning that google labels have colour now. This shocked me. This reminded me of an email request I sent in June of 2005 asking for this feature and other features as well. They were polite and replied to me.. but now they ACTUALLY got it working!! Wohoo!!

I waited and waited.. I took screen shots of my happiness. I also found my email requests!

subject Request – Mailbox enhancements..

Hello GMAIL Support guys,

I really love gmail beyond belief. It is the best web email system ever made. I am only requesting a few enhancements.

1. I like to label important emails sent by people with a colour. I know the starred items are for the important items, but I like mine coloured. It is easy for me to see right away on the screen.
2. I want smilies! Hehe. Google mail needs cool 3d like or animated smilies to be added to the email. I love it that there is html compose, because I had hard time seeing the images for html based emails.
