Composing/Replying a mail in new windows
You can open a new window for composing/replying a mail by holding Shift key when clicking "compose" or "reply". Alternatively you can use the keyboard shortcut Shift + C, Shift + R to open new windows for composing and replying mails respectively.
Make sure to allow pop-ups for GMail.
Muting a conversation
Suppose you are on a mailing list and you don't want to be bothered about a mail conversation. Select that mail conversation and simply press "m" to mute the conversation so that you will not see the mail in your inbox. The only time this conversation will appear in the mail box is when someone adds you to To or CC list.
Viewing all unread mails
You can view unread mails across all the labels by searching for label:unread. If you want to view the unread mails only from Inbox then search for label:unread label:inbox.
Sending EXE files as attachments
GMail does not allow you to send a mail if you try to attach files such as .dll, .exe, .vbs, and so forth. This goes for files within ZIP archives as well—GMail looks inside these for executable extensions and the e-mail will bounce back.
The simple work around to trick GMail is to change the extension of executable files to .jpg or .txt before attaching them.
Selecting a group of consecutive messages
If you would like to select a group of consecutive messages displayed in Inbox or any other labels, you simple need to check the first one in the list, hold the Shift key and check the last one - GMail automatically selects all the consecutive messages between the first and last one.
Return to Inbox from anywhere
With the help of keyboard shortcut "g i", you can quickly return to inbox from anywhere in GMail application. Also you can return to Drafts( g d), Contact(g c), Sent Mail(g t), Starred(g s) and All Mail ( g a) using the keyboard shortcuts.
Adding Images to mail
GMail does not allow embedding images between the text of a mail. You can trick GMail to embed images in the mail by just dragging and dropping the image on compose window. Or alternately you can use Ctrl + V to embed an image available in the clipboard.
Establish a secure mail communication
If you are connected to a network that is not trustworthy, then you can use secured version of GMail by pointing your browser to https://gmail.com instead of http://gmail.com. Secured version of GMail uses strong encryption methods to beat the people who sniff network communication.

With out knowing that I need an external uninstaller, first I tried uninstalling the Flash components displayed in Add/Remove programs but that did not complete the un-installation. After Googling I learned that we need to download an uninstaller application from adobe and execute it to completely remove all the Flash components.
