After the Gmail's chat within the inbox feature, Google is adding another feature to the most popular web mail service in the world - images.

Gmail accounts owners who access New Features in the upper-right corner will find the following message:

"Gmail pictures allow you to put a face to a name, by showing user-selected pictures when you roll over a name in your inbox, Contacts, or Quick Contacts list.
You can choose your own photo for yourself and for your contacts, suggest a photo for a contact to use, or see what your friends have selected for themselves.

Gmail pictures can be configured to show to all users who you email or who email you, or they can be limited to only those users who are able see when you're online."


Similarly to the Gmail chat, Google is just implementing them, so not all accounts will have the feature.
