10 Gmail Tips & TricksTips and tricks to help you work smarter in Gmail

Get Into Settings


Get familiar with your Gmail Settings. Click on the gear (top right) and then click on Settings.

From Settings, you can turn your conversation view on/off, adjust or turn off web clips (those little ads), turn “priority” inbox on/off, work with accounts, enable labs and much more!

GEAR icon > Settings

Load it Up


Your Gmail inbox can support multiple email addresses coming in and going out … Gmail becomes your email client where you can manage all of your emails in one place (while still maintaining those separate identities).

Gmail > Settings > Accounts and Import

Multiple Signatures


Create signatures for every account you want to send out from on Gmail. The account you chose as your default will automatically be the account you send from, but you can always switch between accounts when you are composing.

Settings > General tab > Signatures

Label it!

Create (and even nest) labels at: Settings > Labels

Add Some Color


Labels can be colored by moving your mouse over just to the right of the label name in your label list (left side of Gmail).

Do this in your Inbox!

Set-Up Filters


Take the time to set up filters that will sort your email for you automatically based on criteria that you define.

Once you’ve decided WHAT to filter, tell Gmail HOW to treat the email. Click create (and apply to matching conversations) when done >>>>>Settings > Filters

Try a Lab or 10


Refresh POP Accounts Send and Archive Signature Tweaks Smart Labels Undo Send Unread Message Icon Authentication Icon Canned Responses Mark As Read Settings > Labs > Enable

Add Rapportive
