- Say, I read an email, or delete an email, or archive an email, or mark it as read — any of these actions should result in the email header not appearing in bold (or shown as unread). It happens momentarily, but on next auto-refresh a couple of emails again show as unread. Anyone else seen this happening? This has happened more often when I am checking my Gmail at work, where there may be security and firewall issues, but what should that cause this error?

- Sometimes I write an email, mostly in reply to someone, and hit “send”. The email does not get sent, and what I see in my sent mails is a blank email, with “(no subject)” and nothing in the to: field. I also lose my edits and have to start all over again. See screenshots below of what I see:

Next item I am talking about is a nice-to-have feature. Let me describe the scenario. I have 15 unread messages in your inbox, and am reading message 5 of 15. I have managed to reach the fifth message by hitting keyboard shortcut j or k, or by clicking newer or older — so I don’t have to select the message from the list. After reading message 5, I hit delete, or archive. Now I am back to the “list” on Gmail home page, and have to figure out where I was. Why can’t the deletion of the last mail take me directly to the next (or previous) mail – that is what Hotmail does!

Before hitting Publish on this post, I did look in the Google Labs, and didn’t find the above feature. If someone at Google is listening, can they look into the above?

Well, until I see a full month of above errors not appearing in my Gmail, my beta tag is going right back up.
