New in Labs: Sender time zone

via Gmail Blog by The Gmail Team on 4/8/09

Posted by Marcin Brodziak, Software Engineer

Let's say your girlfriend sends you an angry email. It's mostly about how you behaved at the party last night and then left for a business trip without saying goodbye. You read it from the other side of the globe, jet-lagged after a 12 hour flight. You want to call and sort things out, but forget that it's now almost 3:00 am her time. After waking her up, things only get worse.

There's a new feature in Gmail Labs called Sender Time Zone that can help. Turn it on from the Labs tab under Settings, and you'll see green phone icons next to people who are probably awake and readily reachable (if it's between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm in the sender's local time zone) and red ones next to those who could be sleeping or out of the office:

Click "show details" and you can see when a message was sent in the sender's time zone as well as what time it is for them now:

Message headers always include the time sent and often include time zone info too. We use that information to show you these icons. If the time zone isn't included for a given message, this Labs feature won't display anything. Try it out and tell us what you think.

这是用google reader的email功能发送的，所以这个"current time there"应该是google自己的local
time吧。现在这封信应该就和你一样了饿

确实是从209.85.217.229发出的，但是奇怪Date域为什么不设置为-0700 (PDT)，而是+0000
如果Google Reader能根据我的ip在发信时候自动转换成我的时区就NB了。

其实google的这个设置不怎么好呀，晚上六点之后正是大家精神最好最available的时候，邮件上却显示红色图标了

这个好像是跟工作时间挂钩的？

如果在国内的话，感觉这个功能没啥用

[绷带猪]

切换到中文版看介绍吧？

是说显示发件人的ip所在的时区，以及该时区的他的当前时间！

那么中国的IP都是东八区吗?

[郑天省]

✆这各红的跟绿的有什么区别

[Xiang Gao]

国内大部分都是北京时间(东八区),但是好像乌鲁木齐不是.

[Xiang Gao]

红色代表此人所在时区的时间处于6pm-9am,绿色代表此人所在时区的时间处于9am-6pm.
