If the Bobs don't ring a bell, here's a refresher: Don't forget Bob automatically suggests contacts to include in the To field based on the groups of people you email most. "Got the wrong Bob?" identifies included message recipients that you may have confused with the wrong people.

The Gmail extras, both introduced in 2009, were designed to save the email sender from two common, but oh-so-embarrassing mistakes.

The features have proved their merit in email college, and they're now ready to enter the real Gmail workforce and share the alumni title with other Labs graduates. You may recall fellow overachievers YouTube Previews, Custom Label Colors and Forgotten Attachment Detector -- the later is a great friend of mine.

Google will upgrade Gmail with the graduated Bobs labs in a gradual rollout over the course of the next few days. Congrats to the Bobs!
