New Gmail Features Coming Soon?

According to this article at ZDNet, Gmail users will be getting a couple new features in the near future. The first one will be a link in your spam folder that allows you, with one click, to delete all your spam messages at once. I will certainly enjoy that feature! Although I know that my spam emails are automatically deleted once they are 30 days old, there is this email "neat freak" in me that wants everything organized and emptied. The second new feature is the ability to apply new filters not only to incoming mail, as you can now, but also to mail that is currently in your mailbox. Now this is extremely useful! I never understood how Gmail could have the ability to "test your filter" during the creation process, pulling up the messages the filter would apply to, but not give you the chance to apply that filter to those same messages. This feature will certainly save me tons of time when I’m organizing and labeling my email.

The features have just been discovered in the Gmail code, but no word yet on when we’ll see them in our mailboxes. Anyone have them yet? Keep your eyes peeled!
