Making Gmail even better
I don't know about you, but keeping up with my email can be a full time job. I like for it to be organized and everything to have it's own place. Here are some tips to help keep your Gmail account as helpful as possible.
A free add-on
Boomerang is a free add-on to your gmail. Go to www.boomeranggmail.com and with one click, it will simplify your email world.
Don't want to forget that important meeting?
Set Boomerang to send the message back to your inbox at a certain time to remind you about the meeting.
Don't want to forget to send an email?
Type the email that you want to send tomorrow or next week and schedule it for the exact time you want the email sent. Brilliant!
Waiting to hear back from someone?
Are you waiting for a reply to an email but are afraid you might forget that you are waiting? If the person hasn't responded in so many days, you can schedule boomerang to send the email back to you.
More organization
You can organize your inbox to keep the important stuff at the top and the sale adds and junk at the bottom. Never miss an email from your colleagues again.
- Click on the gear
- Click on "Settings"
- Click on the "Inbox" tab
- Look at "Inbox sections". Personalize your inbox to have exactly what you want to see organized together.
Filter out the junk
Are you tired of seeing ad emails show up in your Inbox all day? You can create a filter that automatically puts those emails in your Archive. Later, when you want to look at the ads, you can.
- Click the checkbox on the email you would like to filter out
- Click on the "More" button
- Click on "Filter messages like these"
- Click "Create filter with this search" at the bottom of the pop-up box
- Click the check box that best describes what you want to do with that email
Enjoy your organized stress-less life after you set up these organizing tips
