Think Google Thursday: Quick Tip

 Google Email Quick Tip

"Personal Level Indicators" put arrows next to messages. A single arrow (>) indicates a message was sent to you and others.  A double arrow (>>) indicates email was sent just to you.

Here is how to turn it on through email settings!

 
• 

  Organize your email with labels.

  Labels do the work of folders, plus you can add more than one to a single message. Give important emails colored labels to make them easy to find.
 
• 

  Clean up your inbox using "Move to" - it works just like folders.

  You can use the "Move to" button at the top of your inbox to easily move a message out of your inbox and add a label at the same time.
 
• 

  Search your mail instead of sorting.

  You can enter keywords in the Gmail search box to find the exact message you're looking for. It works just like Google search.
 
• 

  Avoid email gaffes with Undo Send.

  Oops, hit "Send" too soon? Give yourself a grace period of a few seconds to cancel sending, then edit your message before sending again. Turn it on in Labs
 
• 

  See which messages were sent right to you.
