Your email ID is your true identity. In today's digital world, almost every professional correspondence takes place through emails, from million-dollar business decisions to a toddler's school work. Emails are a one-stop-shop for all for communication.
You need a valid email address to access nearly everything today. Whether it's a streaming service or a credit card, all major operations require you to provide your email address. This is why sometimes it becomes essential to have more than one email account.
Segregated email accounts help you differentiate between professional and personal lives. Thankfully, Gmail makes having multiple accounts super simple. Gmail is Google's web-based mailing service and one of the most used emailing services in the world.
Features of Gmail
Gmail has built a strong reputation for being one of the most simple messaging platforms. But it's real magic lies in the tricks and features that often go unnoticed. Here are the best Gmail features you can use to enhance your communication skills.
Plan and Schedule Emails
The most time-efficient feature of Gmail, the latest update lets you schedule your emails. You can plan your messages to send at a later time. Right-click or long-hold the 'Send' button to find a drop-down menu. You can now enter the sending time for the email.
Control your Emails
Gmail lets you move emails across tabs, mute conversations, snooze emails, open emails in a different window, find emails from a specific sender, and do just about everything you would need to do from the web version of Gmail. All you need to do is right-click on the segment you want to tailor.
Self-Composed Emails
This feature is perhaps the most underrated tool in Gmail. With Smart Compose, the app upgrades its intelligence and adapts itself to your writing style. It gives you smart suggestions while typing your emails and saves a lot of time. Just go to 'Settings', scroll down to 'General' and select the 'Writing Suggestions' box.
Manage Money
Google allows you to send, receive, and request money through the Gmail web. To do this, you have to click on the '$' symbol that you can find at the bottom of the 'compose email' window, then input the amount of money you want to request or send. The funds will be sent through Google Pay. If you do not have an active payment method set up through Google Pay, you will have to enable it first.
Get Only Necessary Notifications
Gmail notifies you every time you get an email. But this can get annoying when you have signed up for too many magazines, services, and mailing lists. Thankfully, you can restrict alerts to appear only for 'high priority' emails. To do this, go to 'Settings' on your phone, then select your email address and click on the notifications'.
