@christine I love Firefox and use it 95% of the time, but the plug-ins
are usually the reason why the browser crashes or slows down. By the
end of the day Firefox is using 1GB of memory. Many times my Firebug
plug-in is what causes Firefox to stop noticing my tab button. I am

Back to the interaction...
You are also able to drag the label to the message when the message
is in the list or when you have the message open. I have actually
moved to using this interaction more as it allows me to "label" the
message without having the message get tagged and archived all in on
That's the pattern used to move icon bars in the microsoft
applications (with one line of dot instead of 2).
The mouse cursor appearance also changes.
I'm not sure people are using drag and drop this way in gmail.
The only person I saw using it drags the labels to the opened email

Christine, it's OT, but since the virtual memory was invented,
programs *never* crash as a consequence of running out of memory
(except for some special cases, like running out of address space,
but I doubt your firefox would consume 4GBs of memory).
The source of crash is elsewhere - some runaway
When you edit bookmarks in Safari on the iPhone, there is a small icon
(three grey stripes) to the right which lets you "grab" the bookmark
and reorder your list. It's different from Gmail's icon, but still
conveys some sort of tread that you could grab onto.
It's interesting how these different
The idea behind the drag handle is to mimic ridges or dimples on
physical products (e.g. battery covers or VCR panels). Gmail's drag
handles weren't immediately obvious to me until I read their blog
article about them. I don't see how they are any more or less usable
than what they had before. If m

Personally, I like it. It has a very tactile, invitational sort of
presentation. "Feel here" where feel is actually hovering with the mouse.
And, like William stated, the changing of the mouse cursor really brings the
concept home.

Not too long ago Google added the ability to move your emails into labels
via drag and drop functionality. As a result, they added two rows of dots to
the left side of each email.
Does anyone know if that is in fact the ideal pattern for that kind of tool?
Or has anyone done any testing on it?
