5 tips for Gmail

Here are 5 tips for customizing Gmail.

1. Snippets
     When viewing your inbox, you can choose between viewing the emails subject line or seeing the first line of your message.  The first line of your message is called a Snippet.  To switch between  of your email message or snippet, go to Settings and under the General tab, scroll down to the Snippets setting.
   
    
2. Unread Message Icon
     If you would like to quickly see how many unread messages are in your inbox on your Gmail tab in your browser, then the Unread Message Icon is just what you need.  Turn it on by selecting the Labs tab in Settings (Settings -> Labs).
   
    
3. Undo Send  Another very cool option in Labs.  By turning on Undo Send, you can give yourself up to 30 seconds to decide if you want to stop an email after you clicked Send.  Enable Undo Send by clicking on the gear icon on the top right of your screen. Click on settings, and then click on Labs. Scroll down until you see 'undo sent' and click "enable."





4. Unbundle Conversations
     Gmail sorts emails into conversations, called message threading. This allows you to see all the replies to an email along with the original message. Some people love this, but others hate it.  If you are not a fan of Gmail conversations you can turn it off quickly and easily.  Go to the Gear, select Settings and then the General tab.  Select Conversation view and turn the option off.
   
   
   




5. Copy and paste images directly into your email messages  Did you know that there is more than one way to insert an image into your email?  You can click on the image icon at the bottom of the message (see image below) OR you can simply Cut and Paste the image from the internet directly into your email.  Quick.  Easy.
