Expect to See Your Voicemail in Your Gail Soon [ooooohh]m


According to Lifehacker, and my own tests, if you use labels in Gmail, you can't create a label titled "voicemail" You will get a error like the one above saying that that name has already been taken. But if you scroll through your labels, you will see that you don't have a label named "voicemail"

Instead you get the following message: "Sorry, you can't create a label named "voicemail" (it's a reserved system label). Please try another name."

It's because Google has taken the liberty of creating a label with that name. Why? Well considering that a few days ago, Google introduced Google Voice, we can safely assume that Google will be trying to soon bring your Google Voice inbox into your Gmail inbox. Hence, whenever you get a voicemail, you'll get a verbatim transcript (maybe even audio attachment?) as an email. Very, very cool and, as usual for Google, useful! [Lifehacker]
