While there are lot of emails service providers out there like yahoo,outlook etc. Gmail is surely one of the most popular email service providers. Being honest, I think its great but still needs many changes. Times like , watching your inbox filling up with speed of light, it can be overwhelming. We at Yantragyan have these three tricks for you, that will surely make your gmail more eficient. Once you’ve got them down, I promise Gmail will feel like a whole new game.
You can fake the time at which email is sent/received
This feature is especially useful for night owls. You never really thought anyone notices your late-night emailing, me too. Trust me they are noticed especially when you’ve sent formal email to your teacher or office senior. I realized that if I wanted to be taken seriously, it would be a lot better if my emails looked like they were being sent at 8 a.m. instead of at 3 a.m. Then we came across Boomerang.
Boomerang is a Gmail app that enables you to schedule emails, set up alert messages, and get reminders. You can easily schedule emails to go out at any time, so it’ll look like you’re sending mail at early morning, even though you scheduled it at 11 p.m. the night before. You can also choose to “boomerang” emails, meaning you can mark an email to leave your inbox and return on a certain date. Let’s say there’s a reminder for a networking event next month and as much as you want the email, it’s cluttering your inbox. Just choose to “boomerang” the message, so that it leaves your inbox for now but returns two days before the event. You can also ask Boomerang to send you a reminder if nobody replies to an email, so you’ll never forget to follow up with people again.
Tip: When scheduling an email, you can BCC yourself just to be absolutely, 100% sure that mails are getting sent out.
You can unsend/undu a wrong message
This a new Gmail feature recently introduced and made to headlines. It’s true, whether you sent off a nasty e-mail to your boss or any of your other mistakes, you can now take it back. Unlike the arrow sent from the bow. Gmail’s new undo feature will let you unsend or undo an email up to 30 seconds after you hit send. To enable this feature, just click the gear icon in the top right-hand corner of your Gmail window, go to Settings, scroll down to “Undo Send”, make sure the button is checked, and then save your changes.
Now whenever you’ll send an email, a yellow bar will appear at the top of your inbox, asking if you would like to undo. A sigh of relief for us all. Afterall, we can now undo that mail filled with things like kjdkjhkjsd,khadshkj by mistake.
You can go through your inbox at lightning speed
When I first dicovered about the Gmail keyboard shortcuts, I was little sceptical, even though it claimed that it’ll speed up the experience. But being one who doesn’t knock it till I try it, I decided to give them a try. And, hey bhagwan!, these shortcuts are a game changer. To enable them for your Gmail account, go to the gear icon on the top right-hand corner of your main page, go to Settings, scroll down to Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure they’re turned on, and then save your changes. Now you can whiz through Gmail without (almost) ever leaving the keyboard.
Need to draft a new email? Just press “c.”
Need to mark something as important? Just press “+.”
Need to mark an email unread? It’s as easy as hitting “Shift and u.”
