Background Send Lets You Surf Gmail While Sending Email

Have you ever send an email and had to wait for a few minutes for it to be sent on Gmail? We all know what happens with that. We sit on the compose page until the email finally gets sent off (if it gets sent off) to the recipient. We've all been through that annoying experience. Well, Gmail has always been set to please it's users, and today they've solved this problem as well.

A new labs feature, Background Send, lets you check your other email, spam, or do anything else with your Gmail while your mail is being sent. The only constraint? Stay logged in. I think we'll all be able to do that, am I right? I think this is an excellent addition.

You can turn on this feature by going to your settings page and going to the Labs tab. From there, Enable the section that says "Background Send", and you'll be all set to go. Enjoy!
