Gmail Labs Release Another Feature: Name Check
Bertrand Vasquez | Oct 13, 2009 | Comments 0
“Got the wrong Bob?” is Gmail’s new feature [for dummies]. It basically makes sure you are emailing the right person. For example, according to Gmail’s Ari Leichtberg, Software Engineer, and Yossi Matias, Head of Israel Engineering Center, ”if you normally email Bob Smith together with Tim and Angela, but this time you added Bob Jones instead, we’ll warn you that it might be a mistake.”
It’s important you know that this feature only works when you email 2 or more people. Also, Gmail took the opportunity to announce that they’ve changed the name of the “Suggest more recipients” auto-complete feature to “Don’t forget Bob.” Apparently, they felt it went better with the new “Got the wrong Bob?” feature.
As always, you can turn this new feature on from the Labs tab under Gmail Settings. Enjoy!
