5 Gmail Discoveries and More to Come
- Schedule Your Email Delivery - Now, it's so possible for you to choose a schedule for the delivery of your email to your contact. This is simply because you can set the date and time of your composed email.
- Swipe-to-Switch - This feature has been available for iPhones for quite some time now. The good news is that if you are an Android phone user, you can also switch Gmail accounts. You don't need to sign out and sign in again to your Google mail accounts to access any or all of them.
- Increase Recall Time for Email - This feature can be very useful in circumstances when you've already delivered a mail that was still in the drafting process, or you're still undecided if you need to send. Increasing the time to undo up to 30 seconds allows you some time to click the 'Undo' icon and get your mail back to your inbox. You can see this feature in your 'Settings' tab inside Gmail.
- Stop Receiving Unwanted Mail Chains by muting them - It frequently occurs that someone copy-furnishes you in one mail, and then several others also copy-furnished in the same mail begin to reply to 'all.' This means notifications in ever newly applied replies. So as not to be bothered with mails that most of the time, you have nothing to do with, mute the mail conversation by choosing the particular mail chain and topping on the (three-dotted) icon on the upper bar to mute it.
- Use Gmail Even Without Internet Connection - This is probably the most interesting discovery of all. If you haven't known, using Google mail offline is now so possible. However, the actual work is done only when your mobile device has an internet connection. If you switch on your offline mode, you can access your Gmail, compose important mails, save them, and send later when the Internet connection is available. You can find this option in settings—offline tab.
These are only five of the many new features of Google mail that will surely help you work on your Gmail more efficiently, whether for personal, business, or work use. Surely, there's more to come from Google, especially that this influential technology company never ceases to develop and introduce innovations for all its users.
