How to get "new" Gmail in your Google Apps account

While many people using Google Apps are already happy users of the "new" version of Gmail (apparently Google doesn't want to call it Gmail 2.0), there are still many users of Google Apps that are stuck on the older version. If you're frustrated at seeing the cool new things you can do in the new Gmail and you're still stuck on the old version, there may be something that you can do.

If you are the administrator for your Google Apps account, or can talk to that person, there is an option under Domain Settings (General tab) in the Control Panel section called "Turn on new application features to my domain before they are rolled out to all Google Apps customers." A week after we checked that box on our Google Apps account, Gmail magically transformed to the new version. Good luck!
