2.5 Things below ......

****Allow us to customize the way our gmail/google acount presents it self to us during various times of the day.

I bet there are people out there who start using things such as Greader, and other services, that distract them during times they should be productive. To improve this, allow us to choose wheather various parts of gmail/google present them selves to us during various times of the day. For example, i could set gmail to hide all buttons at the top(except for 1 or two i wish to see) until a designated time. or simply tell it to hide them indefinitely. it helps eliminate distractions.

****Make a Keyboard short cut for various Google services from within gmail/google.

For example, say an email comes up and we want to add an event/modify an event/notify attendees...etc...etc of something. Allow us to type in "date" quickly or "cal" quickly for either Gcal, or a tiny window with Gcal functionality, to pop up and allow us to complete our work in that sense.

****Allow us to set certain keyboard shortcuts to not only bring up certain google services, such as Gcal, and Greader. but once we are done looking at it have it close the window.

For example, it be nice if we were able to type "cal" or "date" in to have a small(or normal sized) gCal window pop up. Then once we hit save, or i think its add, event- have the screen just close automatically and focus our attention back on our email.

Using filters and labels has made GMail my tool of choice for productivity, but I'm finding it a pain to have to create multiple filters to add multiple labels or to forward emails to multiple recipients.

While I can set up a mailing list in my Google Apps management console that lets me get around the multiple email address limitation, I don't have any other workaround for assigning multiple labels.

[ + Add another Label ] would be a great button to see!
