Google has announced multiple inboxes via Gmail Labs add on. It allows you to have you labels in view on your main inbox page. We use Gmail through Google Apps for all of the sites we own and we recommend it to a lot of our clients. While for the most part I use Mail.app or my iPhone to check email, the few times I need to use someone’s equipment it’s nice to have the web app available.

I’ve added Multiple Inboxes to a couple of my accounts and I can see it being beneficial for a lot of users. I can definitely see it helping those with large monitors, but it starts getting hard to read for those carrying small screen laptops. It’s a step in the right direction giving people an option.
