Hey friends!
I’m Tasia and in this video I share 12 Gmail features you might not even know existed.
First up on my list: right click for extra features.
In your inbox, simply right click on a conversation thread.
This allows you to easily move emails across tabs, reply, archive, label, mute conversations,
and more.
Second on my list, drag and drop emails between tabs.
If you want another way to easily categorize emails, just drag and drop the email to the
desired tab or category.
Plus, Gmail will even ask you if you want to treat all emails from the same sender in
the same way.
Third on my list: change your email star color.
If you’re sick of the yellow star, head to your settings, then general, then stars
and add whichever color you like.
Next up, utilize the side panel.
I’ve mentioned the side panel before in a gcal features video that you can watch by
clicking here.
The side panel to right right of your inbox is the perfect spot to quickly use multiple
Google apps at once.
Quick toggles for gcal, keep, and tasks are right at your fingertips.
Fifth on the list is to find an email by date.
Searching in gmail is so intuitive and easy and an oldie but a goodie here is to narrow
down your search by date.
Type something like before:2019/4/30 into the Gmail search box to see all messages from
before that date, or of course after that date by typing after:2019/4/30
Number 6: Send and request money in gmail.
Just click the dollar symbol at the bottom of your compost window, and select whether
you want to send or request money.
You can add your payment card option here too.
7th on the list, save to google drive.
I'm constantly using this feature.
Any attachment that you receive in gmail can be easily saved with a click.
From the attachment view, just click the drive symbol with a little plus on it.
You can organize which folder you’d like it saved to as well.
Coming in at number 8, easily translate your emails.
That’s right, it’s built right into gmail.
If you don’t have a translate option, click the three-dot menu icon and select translate
message.
Then select the language you’d like it translated into.
Up next, use smart compose.
If you want a detailed video on this feature, you can click here.
To enable, head to the general section of your settings, and toggle on the writing suggestions
option.
It’s a huge time saver for me.
Number 10 on the list: set an expiry date for your sent email.
From the compose box, select the padlock icon.
You can choose your expiry info in this pop-up and you can even require a passcode for viewing.
How neat is that?
Number 11, undo send!
This is another video I’ve done more in depth and you can watch it by clicking here.
This gem is also found in the general section of your settings.
You can set it for between 5 to 30 seconds.
Last but certainly not least, probably the most handy new feature in gmail: schedule
emails!
Yes, that’s right, no more need for 3rd party applications like boomerang in order
to do so.
If you have the new update, you’ll see a drop down menu right next to the send button.
Now you can send those emails whenever you like.
Those are 12 of my favorite Gmail features.
