Last month, we saw some leaked screenshots of a dramatic Gmail redesign for Android that brought pinning and snoozing<\/a> features. Today, we have more evidence that this dramatic Gmail redesign is coming to the web as well.<\/p>\n

Geek.com<\/em> was invited to test the new Gmail interface for the web and has released screenshots showing its many changes. The colorful theme we saw in the leaked Android version makes its way onto the web as well the same pinning and snoozing features.<\/p>\n

\"Gmail<\/p>\n

There’s a new side navigation menu with sections for your snoozed and archived emails as well as your inbox. Gmail’s current category inbox<\/a> resides in the menu as well with sections for Travel, Purchases, Social, Promos, and more.<\/p>\n

At the top of Gmail for the web is a large search box and a pinned email toggle. Click on the pin to quickly see which emails you pinned. The feature works as a replacement for “stars” in the current version of Gmail.<\/p>\n

\"Gmail<\/p>\n

Google Hangouts<\/a> is also integrated into the experimental version of Gmail. There’s now a dedicated Hangouts button at the top right of the screen. Chats can be minimized or resized to make it easier to multitask.<\/p>\n

There’s no word if or when we’ll see these changes in Gmail on the web. Many people rely on Gmail and Google has to be careful not to disrupt people’s workflows with radical changes.<\/p>\n
