Mail Goggles

New Service from Google Labs

Google Labs has developed a new feature for Google Mail users called Mail Goggles.

The idea is to help prevent people from sending emails they may later regret and that may never have been sent had they been either more awake or .... erm ... sober!

Mail Goggles asks users to complete a mini maths test before being allowed to send emails. The maths test only pops up when you log on to Google Mail early in the mornings or whenever you have set it to pop up in your mail settings.

To enable Mail Goggles log in to your Gmail account, click Settings and then Labs, choose enable on the Mail Goggles and click Save Changes.

To change the times when Mail Goggles pops up, visit the General Tab and the settings can be changed here. Has anyone used this? Did it stop you from sending your email?
