in this video I will show you three important Gmail features I have distinct
these features here and if you know these features you are welcome to skip
this video because your time is very important but if not then please watch
this video till end and you will find some value so let's get started hello
and welcome to my channel my name is tahir and and if this is your first time
please hit the subscribe button and also the notification bell to get notified
whenever I post a new video on this channel every Tuesday and Friday so
before I jump on my computer and show you these features I would like to
explain a little bit background information so when you send an email
message in Gmail you might have noticed that on the lower left corner you will
see an undo button but this button disappears very quickly so the first
thing which we will see today is how to change the timing of this button to its
maximum value and the second thing is the recovery email you need recovery
email to recover your password for example you have two email addresses and
you don't use one of them very often after a long period of time you might
have forgotten the password and now you want to recover your password so if you
have not set the recovery email then it will be a very lengthy process to talk
to Google help and so on so the easiest way to recover your password is setting
a recovery email with each of your Gmail accounts so at least you need to gmail
accounts so that you can set the recovery email at one with another one
so and so on and the last feature which we are going to discuss today is how you
can delegate some other person to send emails on your behalf so what that
person would be able to do and what that person won't be able to do so this is
what we are going to see in this video so now I will jump on my computer and I
will show you all these three features so the first feature which I want to
demonstrate is the timings of the undo send button
so let's compose a new email and I send it to myself
test is the subject and just a simple message and I send it
on the left-hand side bottom I have this undo button but very quickly this undo
button disappears it takes only five seconds I want to increase the timings
of this button because sometimes we take a little bit more time to think if we
have done something wrong so to do that what you need to do is click on this
gear icon which is basically the Settings icon and then click settings
know at the top you have many tabs so you need to be in general tab which I am
currently in because it shows me blue color and in general tab you have this
undo sent and this is the timing of undo send and if you click on this little
triangle you can increase the timings up to 30 seconds and this is I think the
appropriate time so just click on that and now make sure that you save all
these changes at the end you have Save Changes so click on Save Changes it will
save the changes and it will show you this progress bar and all your changes
are saved and the second feature I want to show you is how to add a recovery
email to your account and in order to do that you have to click on your avatar
click on that and then Google account and now we have to click on security
option on the left and if we scroll down as you can see we have these two options
recovery phone and the recovery email so you can also put a phone as well so we
are just going to put the recovery email so I will click on that and now it will
ask me to again sign him so I'll just use my existing sign-in and now I will
get this dialog box and it will show me this message your recovery email is used
to reach you in case we detect any unusual activity in your account or you
accidentally get logged out so it means that you forgot your password and you
couldn't login and you can click on this learn more
and it will show you all the details about this so just close this and click
on add recovery email and now I will add another email address and click done and
now this it will show me this message recovery email updated and that's it and
now you will be able to recover your password very easily if you need to do
that now I can close this and it will also show you this message here that
recovery email was changed now the last I want to show you is how to delegate
some other person to send emails on your behalf or to delete emails etc so to do
that we have to click on this gear icon again and then settings and this time we
need to click on accounts and import tab and here we have this option grant
access to your account allow others to read and send mail on your behalf and
now we have to click on this add another account we will get this dialog box and
now I can add my email address any other email address it's not mandatory that
you have to enter another gmail account you can enter any other account any
hotmail or any other account and click next step
now it will show me this message are you sure you are about to grant access to
this person and you will be able to revoke this later if you want and that
person needs to accept this permission and now I just click send email to grant
access so a confirmation request has been sent to this address you will get
this message and then the message will vanish you will get this at the top the
red color that you have done something important and it will show you this
whole message that you have granted this person access and you can also review
these settings if you want so these are some of the key points in regards to the
access the first thing is you can have up to ten delegates it can take up to 24
hours to activate after the acceptance of their
person and your invitation will expire in a week time and delegates email
address will be shown if that person is replying on your behalf or sending
emails on your behalf his or her address will be shown no
delegate will not be able to chat on your behalf and delegate will not be
able to change your password so these are few key points about this feature so
