10 Webapps that Add Great New Features to Gmail

Gmail's packed with features out-of-the-box, and Gmail Labs offers even more great functionality for adventurous users. But if you're looking for more than what Google's offering, these 10 services bring even more excellent functionality to Gmail.

You can add new features to your Gmail mailbox in multiple ways. There's the official Gmail Labs section where you'll find loads of "experimental" features developed by members of the GMail team itself. Need to translate an email message? Or want to move the Gmail chat window to the right? You can do it all with Gmail Labs.

You then have contextual gadgets that are triggered based on the email content.

There're also Sidebar gadgets that can bring external content like news, maps, to-do lists, etc. into Gmail.
