  1. I don’t see it 🙁
    I tried all the steps and even in different browsers (IE and Chrome).
    Is it not in my area yet?

  2. ^^ Yep. Google has decided to close it.

    According to Google, its available to all. If you tried to clear cache and cookies but still cant see the link, you should wait for a few days.

  3. Another “new & improved” design. pfffffffTTTT!!!!!

    After taking a quick look a the carpy blurry image they provided %$@#%^^%$!!!!! they are taking away the buttons I had to wait for so long, that I had to send in so many suggestions to implement them. The ones that that speed up my email processing by providing 1 click access to functions I use hundreds (yes 100’s) of times a day: archive, delete, Move to, labels …. I suppose I’ll have to hunt and search through drop down menus again.

    I took a look at the preview and said no thank you, I’ll wait until they shove it down my throat. Maybe they’ll get the hint.
