image73 Gmail goes back in time to save IE6 users; creates new code for themThe world is making rapid progress with new browsers running into the scene almost with the wink of an eye and almost every application trying to better itself for the latest, there still remains quite a large number of users who use the aged browsers, like IE6 released way back in 2001.

Is there any good news for them? Well Gmail has taken a step; way long after its launch to make its newer services available for IE6 users. The new features that the IE6 fails to handle based on their complexity include, colored labels, invisible mode, Gmail Labs etc, the new codes for these applications had their performance compromised due to IE6’s inability to handle them. But that seems to be overcome for now.

The blog mentions of rolling out Gmail’s new code for IE6 users for which the users must have their IE6 updated to the latest patch etc. A sigh of relief for the gloomy and ancient IE6 users, you can now get a hold on the above features and feel you are a part of the new world!
