How to use Gmail wisely?
Hello everyone,
Have you ever felt tired about the tons of emails you receive every day? Especially those commercials from the brands that you don’t even remember when you gave out your email address. What’s worse, those important emails were buried among your email ocean and didn’t get your timely attention.
Gmail offers a bunch of functions that you may not know about. I would like to share some of them with you.
Basic tools:
1.Filter emails.
Do you want Gmail automatically delete some emails for you or put them somewhere?
Here is how to do it:
Open an email that you want to add tag on, click the “more” button (the one next to “reply” button)
Choose “Filter messages like this” and you will see the window below:
Google Dashboard
Do you have an email account on GMail? What about Youtube? Google+? Google Talk? Do you do Google searches while you’re logged into your Google account, or use the Google Calendar? As you can see, Google has a lot of products that are available for the daily user. And each product comes with its own settings where you can customize and manage your privacy, etc.
With the recent change in Google’s privacy policy came the Google Dashboard. This utility acts as an aggregation center for all of the Google products you use. It allows you to see all of the Google services you are using, as well as let you manage each of the products’ settings, etc. So for example, if you use GMail, you can see the amount of mail in all of your folders, the recently accessed emails in each folder, manage chat settings as well as general GMail settings. If you have a YouTube account, you can manage similar settings and view your relevant playlists, subscriptions, etc. If you have an Android phone, you can view information about even that, the applications you’ve installed on it, and more. There’s a lot to explore and all of the information that you’re given to play with and view gives you a lot of power. All you have to do is go to https://www.google.com/dashboard/.
Image Search by Google
You’ve most likely searched for images on Google by using keywords, but have you ever searched for images using images? It would be a pretty cool idea wouldn’t it? This is exactly what Google allows you to do now. And it is just as easy to do as normal searching.
You can get started by going over to http://www.google.com/images, or if you’re on the main Google website, you can just click on the “Images” link at the top left corner. You’ll know you’re on the right page when you see the small ‘camera’ icon next to the search box.
