When I check my email, I often rely on the message snippets to figure
out which messages to open first. Sometimes, though, I want to see more
than snippets, which is why I’m happy to announce that you can now
preview messages in your inbox using a new feature in Gmail Labs called
Preview Pane. It’s probably a very familiar layout to those of you who
have used Gmail on a tablet device. They also think it’s going to work
especially well if you have a larger resolution screen.
After you enable Preview Pane from the Labs tab in Gmail Settings
you’ll see a toggle button in the top right corner of your message
list, which lets you switch between preview and list views.
For those of you who have more vertical space you can also move the
preview pane below your message list. You can enable this using the
dropdown arrow next to the toggle button
By default there is a 3-second delay in marking a conversation as read
after previewing it. If that doesn’t feel natural to you, you can
change the timing in the General tab of settings
If you’d like to remove the new layout, simply return to Gmail Settings
and disable the lab. Finally, don’t forget to let them know what you
think about the latest addition to Gmail Labs.
