1. Use unique emails for subscriptions
You can use a + after your alias and a text to create rules
to auto-tag your emails.
[alias]+[whatever]@gmail.com
For example: marius.hauken+newsletter@gmail.com can be
automatically tagged "newsletter"
(you can also add . wherever you like)
2. Avoid promotional spam in your inbox
Set up a Gmail filter that moves any email with the word
"Unsubscribe" into a separate folder.
Set it up by searching for "unsubscribe" >
click advanced search > create filter. Select skip the inbox and select a
label.
3. Create templates for often-sent email replies
How to set it up:
Click the gear icon > See all settings > Advanced >
Enable Templates > Save
When composing a mail, click the three dots and select
"Templates" to create or select the Templates you want to use.
4. Schedule send you mail
After you're done composing your email, click the arrow just
beside "Send."
You can then select the time the mail should be sent.
5. Remove emails taking up lots of space
In the search bar, type "larger:5M".
This retrieves all messages bigger than 5 megabytes. Delete
the ones you don't need.
6. Mute conversations
Tired of seeing updated to an email chain, but still prefer
to keep that email conversation for future reference?
Select the three dots on the top of the mail thread and
select: Mute
7. Undo sent emails
Get the ultimate peace of mind and turn back time with the
Undo feature.
Turn it on by clicking the gear icon in the top right >
"See all settings" and enable "Undo Send". It sets a
cancellation period of 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds for your mail.
8. Send files larger than 20MB
If you need to send files larger than 20MB, you can add them
to your Google Drive and share a link. In the composer, click the Google Drive
icon, select the "Upload" tab, and upload your humongous file!
9. Send mail confidentially
When sending, protect your emails by clicking the
confidential mode icon in the bottom right of the window. From there, you can
set an expiration date and passcode.
The receiver of a confidential email can’t print, copy,
forward, or download it.
