Google has been slowly rolling out new features and closer integration between all of its products and Google+, and yesterday it was Gmail’s turn to get a few updates. Now, when you get G+ notifications in your Gmail inbox, you’ll be able to view, comment and +1 those posts without leaving your inbox, and if you’re viewing a notification post and someone else comments on the post, you’ll see that reply in the message, in real time.
Although many handy features like automatic message translation have been part of Gmail Labs for a while now, Google has decided to graduate it and a couple of others to official Gmail features. Automatic Message Translation works by providing you with a translate button for any message that Google believes to be in your non-default language.
Now that Google Drive has built file storage into your Google account, it’s only natural that you’d like it to play nicely with your other Google apps. With a few tricks, it can — at least with your Gmail account.
Gmail is Google’s golden child, but it isn’t perfect. It’s full of numerous user interface elements you don’t necessarily want or need, and there’s no way to turn them off. Gmelius offers you a way out of ads, the people bar and more while also making Gmail easier to navigate. It’s a great extension, it’s free, and it can dramatically improve your experience in less than a minute.
Gmail is amazing. It’s chock full of more shortcuts, settings, and features than you could shake a stick at. Even if you consider yourself a Gmail ninja, though, there are quite a few tricks you might not know about (and some that Google didn’t even intend). Here are our top 10 clever tricks built right into Gmail.
Ever wondered if you respond to emails too slowly, or what kinds of email you receive most often? Gmail Meter is a simple script designed for Google Docs that can get to the bottom of how you communicate, statistically speaking.
Is your Gmail account nearly full? If it is you can either purchase more space or go through and individually delete every cat picture attachment. Alternatively, you can use a clever Google Docs trick shared by tech blog Digital Inspiration to sort your Gmail messages by size and quickly delete space-hogging junk.
Firefox/Chrome: Google Contacts needs some work, while Google+ Circles in Gmail was supposed to give you quick access to the people you interact with most, but isn’t terribly useful. That’s where ToutApp comes in — its new Gmail plugin creates a “Relationships” view where you can see the people you email often, a “Groups” view that automatically creates mini project teams after you feed it a couple of emails, and it can even track the emails you send and let you know when the recipient opens them, no return receipt required.
Every Gmail user has dealt with this annoyance: you’re writing an email, you copy and paste some text from another page, and the text’s formatting comes along for the ride. It’s not the end of the world, but then everything you type after that is formatted the same. Ugh. So now you do what? Keep the formatting? Switch to composing in plain text? Hunt for Gmail’s default font and size?
