in this video we will talk about some of the cool features which we have in Gmail
and which we can use to be more productive and more organized with our
emails so first of all I would like to introduce this hover action so there are
four things you can straightaway do if you go on the right side of any of your
emails without selecting the email so you can for example select an email and
press the delete button to delete that email but now in this modern interface
you don't have to select an email you can straight away go on the right side
and delete the email and similarly there is another feature which is called
archive so you can archive this email and I'll talk about this next and a
seuss feature which we will also discuss today oh and what does sooloos mean and
similarly you can also mark this email as unread if you click this or this as
you see now this email has been checked already but if I click this so it can it
can be marked as unread so now let's talk about archive so when you archive
an email for example if I archive this email so this email will disappear from
your Inbox and where does this email go this email go into this all-male fold
Google should name this folder as archive but I don't know why they name
this as all mail so if you click on this folder so you will see that on the 9th
of December this was probably the email so which we have archived we want to
bring this email back so you can just right-click on this and it will show you
move to Inbox if you click this no this email will come back to your Inbox
so this is how you archived an email and the purpose of archive is to make your
inbox clean so if you don't want to read any email but you don't want to delete
the email then you archive that email so that if in case we want to read that
email you can still go to your in all mail and you can read these emails later
if you like so this is the purpose of archive and sloughs is a very good
feature as well so those means there this email will be removed from the
inbox and Google will show this email again in the inbox as a fresh email so
if you don't want to reply to an email at the moment but you want to reply all
of these type of emails on let's say on Sunday or on any next state or you have
fixed a day for these type of emails so you can see news some of your emails in
inbox and then whatever time you tell Google so Google will show you that
email again as a fresh email so you press snooze and it will show you soon
OU's until if you straightaway want to salute until tomorrow or later this week
you can select any of these options and if you want to sue News for a particular
date and time you can click on pick date and time and then you claim you can
select any date and time when you want Google to bring this email back to you
as a fresh email so that you can reply so this is also a very good feature to
when you want to organize your emails and when you want to be productive you
want to reply some of your emails urgently while other you want to sue
knows and another way to organizing your email is by using these stars and the
next thing which we want to discuss is this star feature since we have already
discussed this important feature that if you click on
this arrow Google will think that this email from this sender is important so I
am NOT discussing this now but this star you can also arrange your emails by
using stars of different colors so as you can see that you have yellow stars
at the moment but you can also select some other colors for these stars and
the way you do it is just go to your settings and then click on settings and
in this general tab if you scroll down you will see stars of other colors so I
am currently using only three colors for this star so for example if an email
contains some question and you want to highlight that email with the question
mark which you want to reply later so you can select this question for that
email you can just drag this and bring it to in use section
and you will be using this star I will not recommend using all of this because
when you select this star you have to click one by one so let me show you how
we can do this so we save changes go back to no inbox so the way you select
different color the first color you select is yellow and if you click on
this again it will show you some other colors like green and then this question
mark so you can select any of these stars whichever you like so the next
feature we want to discuss is the preview pan so the way you enable
preview pan is by going into settings and then settings again and then you go
to Advanced section Advanced tab and in Advanced tab here you can see that
preview pan enabled it is currently disabled you can just enable this and
then you save changes and now you will notice a difference here as you can say
that now you have this icon here and if you click on this you can split it in a
vertical split horizontal split or no spread so currently no split so we will
say vertical split and now if you click on any of the emails you will see the
preview of that email here any email if you click you will see the preview of
the email on the right side of the email so this is the preview pan which you can
use if you want to quickly have a look at your emails so I would recommend the
vertical span but you cannot also span it horizontally so the last thing I want
to show you is the display setting of Gmail interface as you can see here that
this email has a little bit more white space in between then all other emails
and this is because this email has an attachment you click on this wheel and
there is a displaced density icon so if you click on display density so we are
using default display density so there is another available which is called
comfortable and a compact so in default you you can see the attachment so you
can see if the email has an attachment you will see it here and therefore this
email will be a little wider and while if you use any
other for example if you use this comfortable and you select okay now as
you can see that you don't see the attachments all the emails are having
the same width and if you want to use the compact one press ok you will see
that now you have lot more emails in your display then the comfortable or the
default one whatever display you like you can
arrange one of these displays I normally like this comfortable I don't like the
default one and I don't want to see the attachments with my email so therefore I
like this comfortable one so these were some of the cool features which we have
in Gmail so I hope that you can use these features to be more organized and
more productive with your email
