| Position of attachment icon in gmail | Smeaton12 | 4/1/12 2:22 PM | I want to change the position of the attachment icon from right to left, on a wide screen the icon is lost on the right. Good old outlook allowed this easily but gmail does not seem to have this functionality. |
| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | lekram | 4/1/12 2:30 PM | Smeaton12,Are you speaking of the Attachment icon you see while in the Inbox? You can move it to the left by enabling the 'Move Icon Column' lab. Go to Settings (accessed via the gear shaped icon)Go to the Labs tabFind the lab called 'Move Icon Colu |
| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | bicho49 | 5/1/12 5:04 PM | Today, May 01, 2012, this lab is gone... I used it and it was very practical, it's hard to locate to the extreme right... Why would they remove this lab?? Is Google/Gmail going to activate and remove labs like that??? |
| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | lekram | 5/1/12 5:19 PM | I will miss the Move Icon Column tab as well. The lab was retired per the last paragraph of this Gmail blog post... http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/say-hello-or-ola-or-halo-or-salam-to.html Per the Gmail Labs tab, "Gmail Labs is a testing gro |
| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | molex2000 | 5/2/12 6:54 AM | Wow, my job with the US government centers around receiving and organizing attached files. This feature is extremely useful for folks who deal with large volume of attachments. This is horrible. Please Google, reconsider. BTW where can I submit f |
| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | T&B Lillian | 5/2/12 7:53 AM | This was a very useful lab, so that you could view the attachment icon, on the left. Please bring the 'Move Icon Column' back....... |
| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | Ares86 | 5/2/12 12:34 PM | Yeah, it was a really good Lab, I used it a lot. Anyone knows a similar extension in the Chrome Store? |

| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | wdurham | 5/3/12 2:59 AM | I've used a temporary workaround which helps a little, until some clever person writes an extension to do the job. There are plenty that change the look of attachment icons but none yet that change the position - I guess because the lab has always be |

| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | bo33b | 5/17/12 12:12 PM | It's funny how you don't realize when Google makes these little changes until you really need them. I of course had the lab (and every other "less popular" lab) enabled, but because the vast majority of emails have no attachment I didn't even notice |

| Re: Position of attachment icon in gmail | M. Brett | 6/24/12 4:40 PM | 6-24-12 -- I agree with thousands if not millions of others that the attachment icon on the left was much easier to see. Google seems to greatly enjoy toying with our emotions, so making changes "optional" might spoil their fun. One more time, may |
