Gmail is a terrific email service which stands well on its own. It comes with many great features and apps which make emailing simple and efficient, but can only be made better with the many add-ons that are available for the email program. Gmail is free, and ad-supported, which means that you will pay nothing for the service, but will see a few ads. Most of these ads are well placed so as not to interrupt your line of sight while working, and because Google uses your own searches and such to discover your interests, the ads are actually relevant to your needs. Some useful, and funny add-ons have been created for Gmail since its beta launch in 2004. In this article we will look at a few of the funnier ones.

According to e-junkie.info, Remember the Milk is a Google to-do list which allows the user to set priorities to different tasks. These priorities can be changed as you work, if you so choose. You can create to do lists, and then set a time limit on each one. You can also add tags and locations, and then mark them completed once you have finished. Remember the Milk even makes it possible for you to email each list to someone else.

As explained by thenextweb.com, Sanebox only takes a few minutes to archive your unimportant emails and add the label @Sanelater. It works in a similar way to Priority Inbox, but with less hassle for the user.
While this add-on helps with productivity, it is created to add a little fun to your email. Instead of just letting you know when you have sorted through all of your email, and either answered, archived, or deleted them all, 0Boxer makes work into a game. Once you have installed the add-on you will see a new toolbar at the top of the page. Everytime that you delete an email, or archive one, thenextweb.com shares that you will get a point.
