Some Gmail Feature Generally Not Used.

1.       Send and Archive - This is a good feature of gmail. But many user don’t know about this. How it works and why gmail provide this.

Whenever you reply to mail this window come to compose a mail. In this composer we have two options 1. Send with blue color and icon 2. Only send button.

I.                    When you choose first option than the mail for which you reply never show in inbox. Because the conversation converts into a archive. You can see conversation in sent box.

II.                  When you choose this option compose will send a mail and not make a archive. And the mail for which you are replying can see in inbox.

Note – You can hide this send and archive button. Go to Setting->General, here you can see one option Send and Archive.

2.       Unable Undo Send –   Many times we feel that the mail we have sent can revert back. In Gmail this feature is enable but the main point how much time we provide to revert back a mail. To max you revert back time Go to Setting->General than you see a option Undo Send. First of all enable this feature if till now you have not enables it. And after that set to Max whatever it is.

3.       Signature - Generally when we compose a mail in end we right “Thanks and Regard” and etc in all mail. And this is really a headache to me may be for you also. The solution is that Gmail provide a feature “Signature”.  See below image

4.       Vacation Responder - If we see this feature is not so important now because all users of Gmail approx have their reach to Gmail easily. But still it is important for some users. This feature is actually to provide the capability of auto email responder. Means whenever you have not reach to Gmail enable it and give some message and a time interval. See image below

5.       Keyboard Shortcuts – Really this feature I loved a lot. User can customize our shortcut to work on Gmail fast and this is really a smart work. For ex. – Composing a Mail Press “C”, To delete a mail when it is open Press CTRL +D etc. Go to Settings and at top select Keyboard Shortcuts.

6.       Create Contacts with auto complete  – Type a beginning letters of mail and automatically you can see the numbers of mail list. If not working Go to Settings ->General and enable it.

7.       Create new label   –  Create your own customize labels to categories your mail. For ex. I have four categories of mail 1. WorkBench 2 .Personal  3. JobsCompanies 4. Others and can make more. When a mail come select this mail and move this mail to your respective category.

8.       Change password – I think all user know about this features.

9.       Send Mail As  – This is also a nice feature of Gmail. Send a mail from account xyz@gmail.com but mail will show as mail sent by abc@gmail.com. To enable this feature or to add another mail Go to Settings -> Accounts.

10.   Lab different gadgets – This is the place where Google provide different experimental stuffs.  All Gmail users should check it as Google something different in Gmail.  Go to Settings -> Lab.
