I am not able to use the mouse gestures lab feature in gmail. When I looked into Settings -> Labs, It wasnt even there! Did Google just kill it? I have been using it for years now and cant imagine why they'd do so! Anyone else also facing this issue?

just found out that gmail has retired the lab feature, along with many others. That's really sad. http://gmailblog.blogspot.in/2012/05/say-hello-or-ola-or-hal...

There appears to be a number of chrome extensions that support gestures, so perhaps you can find or configure one that works similarly ("Pig Toolbox," for example). Or learn the Gmail keyboard shortcuts.
