Forwarding is undoubtedly one of Gmail's most-used functions. With the help of Shift and Gmail's auto-forwarding feature, you can cut the time you spend on email in half.
Once upon a time, technology couldn't predict what we were going to say. These days, your device often knows what you wanted to say better than you did. Whether it's predictive text on your phone or recalled passwords, it takes less effort than ever to compose messages.
Mentioning people in Gmail—and having their email contact be immediately linked—is a feature that can save you and your email recipients a lot of time. Similar to mentioning a person on Facebook, this new Gmail feature allows your recipients to contact the tagged person with just one click.
It's not unusual to have more than one Gmail account. Maybe you use one for business and one for your personal correspondence. Perhaps you use one for a hobby, such as couponing, or for a side gig. Whatever the reason, Gmail makes it easy to move between accounts.
Do you belong to a beer league or social group? Do you frequently collaborate on projects with the same people at work? Is your family large and growing? Setting up custom email groups in Gmail can make it easier to communicate with these sets of people.
When you conclude an email, it's helpful to include not only your name but also your title, company and contact information. Google allows users to easily add a personal Gmail signature to be automatically added to the end of each email. Some people even add an image or a company tagline, something to add a little of your personality to an otherwise dry email.
Once you learn these Gmail keyboard shortcuts, you'll cut the time you spend on Gmail in half. It's fun and easy to use these shortcuts so let's get started!
Have you ever searched for a single email within your Gmail account only to have an entire page (or more) of results appear? You don't have to sift through all of those options. You can simplify and refine your Gmail search using Gmail search operators.
We've all felt this way, the "sender's remorse" that happens the instant you hit send to launch an email into cyberspace. The good news is that, with Gmail's "undo send" function, you can do just that.
Shortcuts are the spice of life. Without them, we’d be stuck doing stuff the way there were initially intended to be done…yikes. So, today we have a shortcut that we’re sure everyone can appreciate: creating an Asana task from email. It’s simple, really. In a few easy-to-follow steps, you can create tasks in My Tasks and Projects, and even send email messages directly to Team Conversations and Project Conversations.
