Selective Amnesia

The new GMail. Features I want, but don’t get.

GMail has been adding a lot of new features, stuff like permalinks for labels/specific mails, colour-coded labels, group chats and stuff. All features I so dig, and want. But funnily, these features are not active/cannot be turned on in my main GMail account – the chandrachoodan one. I wonder why. Is it because this particular email id is old – from the days when GMail only gave you 3 invites to send to friends? Is this the thanks I get for being one of the longest standing users of GMail? For being an early-adopter of technology?

On the other hand, just when my Inbox was reaching 80% capacity (was 2200 MB), GMail more than doubled the inbox size, and now I am at only 35% capacity. (2110 MB - I deleted some old threads and backed up others to my other gmail accounts)
