Here’s another fantastic Gmail feature previously available only in the enterprise version of Google Apps that is now available to all Gmail users: account delegation.
Basically, you can grant another user access to your account. They can use the drop-down menu at the top to instantly login and check your Gmail account, and perform actions like read and reply to e-mail.
Yet another feature that keeps Gmail firmly at the top of the webmail heap.
