That ends up sending me to http://mail.google.com/mail/. Changing my language preference to English (US) didn't show me the newer version either, but it did redirect from http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2 to http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1 instead of http://mail.google.com/mail/.

I want Gmail to work faster, its latency is pretty annoying.

http://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1

Try using that link

That didn't work either. Funny thing is, my parents have the new interface already, and they use their account much less than I do. They've gotten other features early in the past as well.

Could just be to random people to test it out. Like secret beta. You could always ask them.

Personally, I'm very disappointed with this new gmail. Several times Firefox crashed (with all gmail plugins disabled due) when going from my inbox to my Spam box. Gmail also crashed when sending an email, so it was really hard to tell if it had sent it or not. I'm very dissatisfied.

I found out why it wasn't working for me. They haven't updated the UK gmail by the looks of it, so I changed the language to US and its the new version. No big difference though.

The new interface was used when I reloaded today. It's no good though, it was unresponsive in Opera, even the "Older version" link didn't work, it just reloaded the newer version. I have to go direct to http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1 to use Gmail now.

The look of the newer version was a bit different as well. In the older version, in Opera things were spaced closer together (compared to Internet Explorer). In the newer version, it's not like that anymore though I like the way the older version looks.
