But where do you put the heated debate about <a href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/tpa/409930561.html" target="_blank"> M&M color superiority</a>: the "ridiculous philosophical discussions," "all things brown," or "chats with mom" folder?

Those labels are my chameleons draped in subtle tones of green and blue. They're there doing their job, but I barely notice them. Every once in a while I get mail that's really important.

I just smile.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiTsFj8L7nJxmb36LHI4KXbmTqAryDXsSI47rjBfWdZfaKvY-j0Ihb0QgVkw4pfk9dcbKnyKnya1LZhUz8g3ba7K16h_9UmAkELemof2BIpYh-n2U3ACz7hmZU_0hYjZC5cg/s1600-h/Google+Cal+image.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135092343583045490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiTsFj8L7nJxmb36LHI4KXbmTqAryDXsSI47rjBfWdZfaKvY-j0Ihb0QgVkw4pfk9dcbKnyKnya1LZhUz8g3ba7K16h_9UmAkELemof2BIpYh-n2U3ACz7hmZU_0hYjZC5cg/s400/Google+Cal+image.png" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" /></a> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/11/tips-from-digital-mom-getting-cultural.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Gmail Blog:Tips from a Digital Mom - Getting 'cultural' with the family during the holidays&url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/11/tips-from-digital-mom-getting-cultural.html&via=gmail'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/11/tips-from-digital-mom-getting-cultural.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/11/tips-from-digital-mom-getting-cultural.html' data-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/11/tips-from-digital-mom-getting-cultural.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/11/tips-from-digital-mom-getting-cultural.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Gmail%20Blog' rel='tag'> Gmail Blog </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3643860750029354675' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/11/5-little-known-gmail-features-you-may.html' itemprop='url' title='5 little-known Gmail features you may not yet know about'> 5 little-known Gmail features you may not yet know about </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> November 16, 2007 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Robby Stein, Associate Product Marketing Manager</span><br /><br />When we began rolling out a <a title="new Gmail code architecture" href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-for.html" id="zwj7">new Gmail code architecture</a> a few weeks ago, we also launched some new features to help improve the speed and convenience of managing email. I've been using several of these new additions over the last few weeks, and while they might seem small on their own, they really can add up to save you a lot of time and hassle. That's why I decided to list my five favorite new features that are so new, you may not have noticed them. We are still rolling them out to IE6, international and Google Apps users, but for those of you who noticed a new contact manager among other recent improvements in our latest version, here they are:<br /><br /><b>5. "Archive and next" shortcut</b><br />We added a bunch of new <a title="shortcuts" href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6594" id="lxfm">shortcuts</a> to Gmail, but one that I've found to be a true time-saver is what I call the "archive and next" shortcut. When I have a lot of mail, it can be really annoying to have to open a message, click "Back to Inbox" and then select the next email I want to read. So once you enable shortcuts in Settings, you can simply press the left bracket key "<b>[</b>" while viewing a message to archive it, and then immediately open the next oldest one. When I see a long list of unread messages, I like to open the first one and then just hit "<b>[</b>" to swiftly move through my mail and archive as I go. (P.S. By clicking the right bracket "<b>]</b>" you can also move the other way if you want to open newer messages after you archive).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhklLv8Lro-3hDiklBctvwJN7J-Zfjyb-oR2aUS1A39Vi7Ccq0c3jIXmMzkJ6G8ag7nDoY03Gc-4A9uaJSnzpW9bAdzmYdqFVyPaRuSMYEFFM8R8UNhKgUVfTb09idugUqZHg/s1600-h/shortcuts.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133636487108654898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhklLv8Lro-3hDiklBctvwJN7J-Zfjyb-oR2aUS1A39Vi7Ccq0c3jIXmMzkJ6G8ag7nDoY03Gc-4A9uaJSnzpW9bAdzmYdqFVyPaRuSMYEFFM8R8UNhKgUVfTb09idugUqZHg/s400/shortcuts.png" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>4. Share mail searches with friends<br /></b>How many times do your friends tell you, "I can't find that email you sent me." Now you can prove that you did indeed send that message, despite the accusations. All you have to do is search for the message using your <a title="expert mail searching" href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=7190&topic=1579" id="fr40">expert mail searching</a> skills, and when you find it listed in the results, just copy and paste the URL and email it to your friend. When he or she goes to that link while in Gmail, your friend's Gmail will run the same search you ran and will be able to locate that "lost" email instantly. For example, if you wanted to share a search for "pick me up at airport," so flight information can be located, you would send over this URL: <a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/#search/pick+me+up+at+airport">http://mail.google.com/mail/#search/pick+me+up+at+airport</a>.<br /><br /><b>3. Browser navigation and history</b><br />Your web browser is now a great way to navigate Gmail. Instead of having to find the right links on the page to move from inbox to messages to other Gmail views, you can use the browser navigation buttons (back and forward) to jump back and forth between emails. You can also open your browser history and click on specific emails that you've read to go right back to them. This allows you to quickly access certain emails without having to re-read your inbox. Browser history is something that often doesn't work well on complex web apps like Gmail, but we've gone to great lengths to make it work right.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn_R-oeoYv01EM3MnlqqHshiu2W989Veh30pcegnsL8ykmSClct7tYZsA_Z_JA6irnrPGEpQilnNBbjKhriEislkyLCr29-yACdPvd93_HJhEEWFQ-5hsJmDF7JumiZjNVkA/s1600-h/browsing-history.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133637092699043650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn_R-oeoYv01EM3MnlqqHshiu2W989Veh30pcegnsL8ykmSClct7tYZsA_Z_JA6irnrPGEpQilnNBbjKhriEislkyLCr29-yACdPvd93_HJhEEWFQ-5hsJmDF7JumiZjNVkA/s400/browsing-history.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>2. Bookmark emails</b><br />I frequently need to save a single email for a period of time, such as a message that includes an important phone number. But I don't want to create a separate label for one message, and I also don't want to archive all the email that comes in after that message just to keep that thread near the top of my inbox--and hopefully the top of my mind. This problem is now easily solved by a new ability to bookmark specific emails. All emails now have dedicated URLs, so just by adding a browser bookmark while viewing a message, you can return to it whenever you want, just like a regular web page--although you will still have to log in to Gmail if you've signed out.<br /><br /><b>1. "Filter messages like this"</b><br />I find filters to be one of the most useful features in Gmail, but sometimes it can be hard to set them up quickly. So we added a new capability that makes a filter based on the message you are reading, so you can keep track of future similar emails. By clicking on the dropdown menu in the upper right-hand corner of every email (the upside-down triangle), you can now see the option to "Filter messages like this." Not only can you easily create a filter based on the sender, but this is especially handy if you are trying to filter emails sent to mailing lists. We automatically set up a filter for you based on the "list ID" header, which does a better job of finding emails sent to mailing lists.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIJlDgPYoGwk9EHyW8cO56N7O8Ka5uSzYpnSkoHl7EF-3IFCaNEiHgfQaDbwdmE0mAf0JfY27aFtMW9Imcb43TX4stdYpmKCZ_sZouYImAJDqDkSWnawVMOiwmkVSufsyHvg/s1600-h/filter-messages.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133637560850478930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIJlDgPYoGwk9EHyW8cO56N7O8Ka5uSzYpnSkoHl7EF-3IFCaNEiHgfQaDbwdmE0mAf0JfY27aFtMW9Imcb43TX4stdYpmKCZ_sZouYImAJDqDkSWnawVMOiwmkVSufsyHvg/s400/filter-messages.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" /></a> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Robby Stein, Associate Product Marketing Manager</span><br /><br />When we began rolling out a <a title="new Gmail code architecture" href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-for.html" id="zwj7">new Gmail code architecture</a> a few weeks ago, we also launched some new features to help improve the speed and convenience of managing email.

(Note that this applies only to users who have installed Greasemonkey scripts -- if the term "Greasemonkey" evokes little more for you than an image of an oily mechanic, then you needn't worry about any of this.) <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-for.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Gmail Blog:Code changes to prepare Gmail for the future&url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-for.html&via=gmail'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-for.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-for.html' data-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-for.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-for.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Gmail%20Blog' rel='tag'> Gmail Blog </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='807696405405946681' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/10/sync-your-inbox-across-devices-with.html' itemprop='url' title='Sync your inbox across devices with free IMAP'> Sync your inbox across devices with free IMAP </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> October 24, 2007 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by David Murray, Associate Product Manager</span><br /><br /><center><img alt="IMAP graphic" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8ey8XBIRzrpxLPT8InEF2Wcl_33k6ZEzh1LA__w4hxVvvyhu2CxQlzafUSIM10l677L-FF71xDf4li-VZgyzbOEWjejah0u2xVOg_Ga5rz14LARw3Gxk8NQDzQl1rlhF-UQ/s400/imap_infographic.jpg" /></center><br />There are two online petitions I've signed in my life.

The other, which I signed a few months before starting at Google, was for Gmail IMAP. As some of you know, IMAP is the best way to access your email from multiple devices (e.g. phone or desktop). It keeps the same information synced across all devices so that whatever you do in one place shows up everywhere else you might access your email.<br /><br />For example, I can:<br /><ul><li> read an email in Gmail, then</li><li>move it to the "Starred" folder on my iPhone, then</li><li>archive it by moving it to "All Mail" in Thunderbird, then</li><li> see all of those changes on my Blackberry (or any of the above devices for that matter).</li></ul> For the past few years, we've offered POP access, which is similar to IMAP but lacks one critical feature: your changes made on other devices aren't seen in Gmail when you log back in. Instead you are presented with a list of unread mail, and you must re-read and re-sort everything. For this reason, as soon as I started at Google, IMAP was one of the first things I asked about. Since then, I've seen countless blog posts, requests, chats, and just about everything else asking, "Are you guys ever going to do IMAP?" Well now I can say: Yes.

Just click the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab in your Gmail "Settings" and turn it on. (Psst. If you don't see the "IMAP" in the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab, then check back soon.

Plus, having your presentation stored online means one less file to send as an email attachment.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyXAbwNXdjunM6E5pqLg5ZgmP2aL1xsE2AW9TtKlF6_lszfpQC_gqRU6a7kd_xxdaBqY9Ucvj9QmXh8cci-Dql6bAHGqZ7w4S4uTM8d129PlMtschW1Lx1DcACFzhcv9M8Y_L3Yg/s1600-h/home_screenshot2.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112778648985426962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyXAbwNXdjunM6E5pqLg5ZgmP2aL1xsE2AW9TtKlF6_lszfpQC_gqRU6a7kd_xxdaBqY9Ucvj9QmXh8cci-Dql6bAHGqZ7w4S4uTM8d129PlMtschW1Lx1DcACFzhcv9M8Y_L3Yg/s400/home_screenshot2.gif" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><br />The Google Calendar team, along with the <a title="mobile" href="//www.google.com/mobile/" id="b8b:">mobile</a> team, released an upgrade to the Calendar interface on the iPhone.

Smart links on the right</b><b><br /></b>When you get an email that references an address, look to the right and you'll probably see a link from Gmail pointing you to a map of the address on Google Maps. Gmail also recognizes email text that refers to an event (e.g., 'dinner tomorrow at 8pm'), and will give you a link to <a title="add it to your calendar" href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=47802" id="t481">add it to your calendar</a>. It'll even pick up on package tracking numbers from UPS and link you directly to the tracking page, so you don't have to copy and paste the number. I really like this last one when I order stuff online and want the instant gratification of knowing a package is on its way.<b><br /><br /></b><b>4. Conversation update notification<br /></b>It can be really annoying to write up a whole response to an email and click send -- only to discover that someone else has already responded. Gmail has a little feature that helps solve this problem. When you're replying to (or reading) a conversation, and someone else replies, a small notification window pops up to let you know. I sometimes think of it as the "prevent embarrassment" notification. Plus, it can save a lot of time by avoiding the series of follow-up emails needed to clear up the confusion.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8uXxg_KnZEXvvByRbEl9niqe_7rGWmAZlKEcjy24TVxL_NYSDEvCR0Rot_yb9jQt3UVT58qiBPTc5qKX-WTv6HXQio4UBCQfVU-xwBBHE4KoCuXOcDijVEkOD_PC1y7wA1fgp/s1600-h/new_messages.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107590552215012962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8uXxg_KnZEXvvByRbEl9niqe_7rGWmAZlKEcjy24TVxL_NYSDEvCR0Rot_yb9jQt3UVT58qiBPTc5qKX-WTv6HXQio4UBCQfVU-xwBBHE4KoCuXOcDijVEkOD_PC1y7wA1fgp/s400/new_messages.gif" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><br /><b>3. Advanced search</b><br />Most people know that searching your archive is a huge part of what makes Gmail useful. But there are a few search features that you may not know about, which can be really handy. For instance, if I want to narrow down my search to only messages sent from Kevin, I can just add "from: Kevin" to the query. You can even search only for messages with attachments by including "has: attachments," or narrow by date with "after:" and "before:" Check out this whole list of <a title="advanced search operators" href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=7190&topic=1579" id="fjz9">advanced search operators</a>.<br /><br /><b>2. Offline chat</b><br />Offline chat is another feature which makes chatting in the context of your email particularly useful. When you're chatting with a friend and they suddenly go offline, you can keep sending IMs and your friends will receive your messages the next time they open Gmail. The chat will show up as a new item in their inbox. And, of course, if you're still online, your friend can go ahead and reply by chat.<br /><b><br />1. Create event<br /></b>Since I use Gmail and Google Calendar at work (through <a href="//www.google.com/a/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a>), I'm constantly emailing people about meetings, and scheduling them on everyone's calendars. When I'm writing an email to set up an event, I can actually do it all from within Gmail by clicking the "Add event info" link below the subject line. Then choose the time and location for the meeting or party. When you send the email, the event details will be added to to your Google Calendar, and Gmail will send an invitation to the email recipients to add it to their calendars as well.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzucywyJfdKMOrbUugai6eXs3K5wwyBHTGSNPPDJl6FcndEN8NBPxL0KqYamfQLSRsy5DCrctMapSWUyHXkVYbvwDK-5QE4bp64A2jkDf1HFrMt1ABGXrkdpuDAM9ScDk95js6/s1600-h/createevent.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107591076201023106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzucywyJfdKMOrbUugai6eXs3K5wwyBHTGSNPPDJl6FcndEN8NBPxL0KqYamfQLSRsy5DCrctMapSWUyHXkVYbvwDK-5QE4bp64A2jkDf1HFrMt1ABGXrkdpuDAM9ScDk95js6/s400/createevent.bmp" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Bill Kee, Associate Product Marketing Manager</span><br /><br />Here are five more entries in my list of little-known features begun <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2007/08/top-10-little-known-gmail-features-part.html#links" id="aqeq">last week</a>:<br /><br /><b>5.

When you send the email, the event details will be added to to your Google Calendar, and Gmail will send an invitation to the email recipients to add it to their calendars as well.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzucywyJfdKMOrbUugai6eXs3K5wwyBHTGSNPPDJl6FcndEN8NBPxL0KqYamfQLSRsy5DCrctMapSWUyHXkVYbvwDK-5QE4bp64A2jkDf1HFrMt1ABGXrkdpuDAM9ScDk95js6/s1600-h/createevent.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107591076201023106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzucywyJfdKMOrbUugai6eXs3K5wwyBHTGSNPPDJl6FcndEN8NBPxL0KqYamfQLSRsy5DCrctMapSWUyHXkVYbvwDK-5QE4bp64A2jkDf1HFrMt1ABGXrkdpuDAM9ScDk95js6/s400/createevent.bmp" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/09/top-10-little-known-gmail-features-part.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Gmail Blog:Top 10 little-known Gmail features (Part 2)&url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/09/top-10-little-known-gmail-features-part.html&via=gmail'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/09/top-10-little-known-gmail-features-part.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/09/top-10-little-known-gmail-features-part.html' data-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/09/top-10-little-known-gmail-features-part.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/09/top-10-little-known-gmail-features-part.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Gmail%20Blog' rel='tag'> Gmail Blog </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1826690320617809853' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/09/gmail-eats-your-bacn.html' itemprop='url' title='Gmail eats your Bacn'> Gmail eats your Bacn </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> September 5, 2007 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Kevn Systrm, Gmail Team<br /><br /></span>Recently, the Internet has been <a title="abuzz over a new term: 'bacn'" href="http://www.boingboing.net/2007/08/22/bacn-spreads-around-.html" id="p_g7">abuzz over a new term: 'bacn'</a> - with the requisite missing vowel - which is pronounced, you guessed it, "bacon." <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacn_%28electronic%29" id="euiu">Wikipedia defines it</a> as: "electronic messages which have been subscribed to and are therefore not unsolicited but are often unread by the recipient for a long period of time."

Here are 3 easy steps to inbox feng shui:<br /><br />1) Create labels for each service that sends your bacn by clicking "Edit labels" in the green box on the lefthand side of your inbox. I've created some for my inbox:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj9fZq1kf1SaoQxsYrNLlaeSEY-tp1vB6EuRFMD-79Fm3GxBIQ2-texkhSAEIORsEcd26sAkmtyi_9fLenZunEy5q-VcxPajV6LDW4oLs1xvw4LhBWHgfvrFIO-WVGCzFMRJVMpw/s1600-h/cgz6qq3w_167c3r64pgw.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106913442030863922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj9fZq1kf1SaoQxsYrNLlaeSEY-tp1vB6EuRFMD-79Fm3GxBIQ2-texkhSAEIORsEcd26sAkmtyi_9fLenZunEy5q-VcxPajV6LDW4oLs1xvw4LhBWHgfvrFIO-WVGCzFMRJVMpw/s400/cgz6qq3w_167c3r64pgw.png" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><br />2) Create filters to put bacn in its place by clicking "Create a Filter" next to the search buttons at the top of your inbox. First, tell Gmail what types of messages you'd like to filter. I typed "LinkedIn" in the "from" box and then clicked "Next step >>".<br />If you're like me, you probably want to review the notifications at a later time, so you click "Skip the Inbox" and "Apply the label: LinkedIn".

I've put together a list of my top 10 favorite features that you may or may not be familiar with. Here are the first five; watch for the second batch sometime next week.<br /><br /><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">10. Custom "from"</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Most people end up managing more than one email account -- some are personal, others might be for work or school. When I graduated from college, I wanted to keep my .edu address for alumni-related things, but made Gmail my primary personal address. My university made it easy to forward my .edu mail to my Gmail address, so I could read all my mail from my within my Gmail account. I was happy to find out that Gmail would actually let me send mail "as" my .edu address, so I could continue to keep that identity, while managing all my email from one place. </span><a style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Here's how to set that up." href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=1570" id="v7m1">Here's how to set that up.</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span><br /><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></span><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">9. Open attachments in Google Docs & Spreadsheets, or view as slideshow</b><br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">If you are sending a Word document or Excel file as an attachment, Gmail lets you easily </span><a style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="open it in Google Docs & Spreadsheets" href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=59441" id="hjsq">open it in Google Docs & Spreadsheets</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">. (In case you're not familiar with </span><a style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Google Docs & Spreadsheets" href="http://docs.google.com/" id="ml4y">Google Docs & Spreadsheets</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">, it's our online word processor and spreadsheet application, which lets you store and access documents online and collaborate on them with anyone.) Since other people are working on many of the docs I receive as attachments collaboratively, it's really easy to just open them in Docs & Spreadsheets and create a single document to work from, rather than constantly sending versions of documents back and forth. If the attachment is a PowerPoint presentation, Gmail will recognize this and give you a link to"View as a slideshow." This will open a window with a Flash preview of the slides. This is great for quickly reviewing slides in the browser.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NoaehwgrZvfhiTaYAAIfzv9eikDi7hGYahp0Abff8O3wjbmxs_Qg7_gHOwAdcVMFizM_f2Ll825ubgUPFR89k-A7jAT8cXlRjBvcjmqwhhhNJpu1coz6QWG-ObCCoBDBdB770Q/s1600-h/Open_DS.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104990464913360354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NoaehwgrZvfhiTaYAAIfzv9eikDi7hGYahp0Abff8O3wjbmxs_Qg7_gHOwAdcVMFizM_f2Ll825ubgUPFR89k-A7jAT8cXlRjBvcjmqwhhhNJpu1coz6QWG-ObCCoBDBdB770Q/s400/Open_DS.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><br /><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">8.

Reply by chat</b><br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Most people know that you can chat with your contacts in Gmail if they're using Gmail too. But there are some subtle features that make chat particularly useful in the context of using your email, like </span><a style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="replying by chat" href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=34539" id="gf91">replying by chat</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">. If you've received an email and notice that the sender is online (by seeing the little green dot next to his or her name in the conversation), you can click the button "reply by chat." What's particularly convenient about this is that the chat will be archived as part of the email thread to which you replied. I like this most because it means when I search for anything related to that thread, I find the chat transcript alongside all the relevant email messages.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7vwsuysrDXBqjdhj10Lz0og2GKRG6Gl6Fym1s4qoR2VMl7jUaXd-N65oYk1tHRqyIb8p-5R1r1xc_1DBD7xvEHM106zYyTb31GqXFb_odA95-VmNuPYsWXQvecX5O6njw5gukNw/s1600-h/replybychat.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104990645301986802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7vwsuysrDXBqjdhj10Lz0og2GKRG6Gl6Fym1s4qoR2VMl7jUaXd-N65oYk1tHRqyIb8p-5R1r1xc_1DBD7xvEHM106zYyTb31GqXFb_odA95-VmNuPYsWXQvecX5O6njw5gukNw/s400/replybychat.bmp" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></span><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">6.</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Gmail for mobile application</b><br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">It wasn't that long ago that my cellphone could barely handle sending text messages.

I've put together a list of my top 10 favorite features that you may or may not be familiar with. Here are the first five; watch for the second batch sometime next week.<br /><br /><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">10. Custom "from"</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Most people end up managing more than one email account -- some are personal, others might be for work or school. When I graduated from college, I wanted to keep my .edu address for alumni-related things, but made Gmail my primary personal address. My university made it easy to forward my .edu mail to my Gmail address, so I could read all my mail from my within my Gmail account. I was happy to find out that Gmail would actually let me send mail "as" my .edu address, so I could continue to keep that identity, while managing all my email from one place. </span><a style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Here's how to set that up." href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=1570" id="v7m1">Here's how to set that up.</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span><br /><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></span><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">9.

(In case you're not familiar with </span><a style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="Google Docs & Spreadsheets" href="http://docs.google.com/" id="ml4y">Google Docs & Spreadsheets</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">, it's our online word processor and spreadsheet application, which lets you store and access documents online and collaborate on them with anyone.) Since other people are working on many of the docs I receive as attachments collaboratively, it's really easy to just open them in Docs & Spreadsheets and create a single document to work from, rather than constantly sending versions of documents back and forth. If the attachment is a PowerPoint presentation, Gmail will recognize this and give you a link to"View as a slideshow." This will open a window with a Flash preview of the slides. This is great for quickly reviewing slides in the browser.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NoaehwgrZvfhiTaYAAIfzv9eikDi7hGYahp0Abff8O3wjbmxs_Qg7_gHOwAdcVMFizM_f2Ll825ubgUPFR89k-A7jAT8cXlRjBvcjmqwhhhNJpu1coz6QWG-ObCCoBDBdB770Q/s1600-h/Open_DS.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104990464913360354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NoaehwgrZvfhiTaYAAIfzv9eikDi7hGYahp0Abff8O3wjbmxs_Qg7_gHOwAdcVMFizM_f2Ll825ubgUPFR89k-A7jAT8cXlRjBvcjmqwhhhNJpu1coz6QWG-ObCCoBDBdB770Q/s400/Open_DS.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><br /><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">8.

This phase certainly started out rockily (mostly for our dog, Tobey, whom I consistently forgot to feed; he's fine, though, just a little hungry now and then).

In my case, with twins and a 3-year old, it can be days before I actually get a chance to ask him how he's feeling or what he's been doing. That's where <a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/help/chat.html">Gmail chat</a> comes in. Both my husband and I are on Gmail (his company uses it as a part of <a href="https://www.google.com/a/">Google Apps</a> and, of course, so does mine). So even if I fall asleep within minutes of wrestling my son into bed, at least my husband has already heard about how I'm feeling throughout the day. With a little :-) and a little <3, it's a wonderful way for us to stay connected.<br /><br />Keep an eye on the Gmail blog for my tips, and I'd love to see yours.

Or, if you're like me, and drawing stick figures is an accomplishment, then you can <a href="http://www.threadless.com/submissions/designs,gmail/showme,intherunning,completed,printed">help score designs</a> too!<br /><br />Here are samples of some fun designs from the contest that recently finished scoring:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/128293/Everything_s_connected" title="Everything's connected - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever"><img alt="Everything's connected - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever" border="0" height="119" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_snecDQtRwBgU7ptz9UOKrVYCEXOxIg8O_7r99QMKO0-Kk33IDX3HZ77Ln6-dRA1YUqPrtuLHIyADdV-1zV7Jd0y0uSQ-DhC81YE2U26u97z2GDyaQtOkhiqQ=s0-d" width="220"></a><br><br /><a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/128284/Home_Is_Where_The_Hub_Is" title="Home Is Where The Hub Is - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever"><img alt="Home Is Where The Hub Is - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever" border="0" height="119" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_v0B_WylUfLd_atkLROZCcWbbzuYyY3JbBZvhVCKrJGuRY6EV4eSogIyFirWqcP6sehh3nPy37_orlarEAe0w0fTuByDCrKhS_wg1c_7HRJVjs239UmaQdu=s0-d" width="220"></a><br><br /><a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/128242/hello" title=".... . .-.. .-.. --- (hello) - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever"><img alt=".... . .-.. .-.. --- (hello) - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever" border="0" height="119" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tUmXH7dMVTF4WMTfrAcBGLuGb5BoWBwyPlEs_GVA05LDHhNyz9Pd9Y1gYBYxUNzYG-gnUlNq_AYwTkDgVmzDBJulrReeTqH5XogVAUxfG2qMW1wq7Hz9LQ=s0-d" width="220"></a><br><br /><a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/127310/Hangin_on_the_Line" title="Hangin' on the Line - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever"><img alt="Hangin' on the Line - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever" border="0" height="119" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vce0_6mG0Crxi35BpH1_CwSnirJ77dOnd62H9riLxFHB-f6r3A6sOMEkq8F1VNFbU-R9Z5bjmAoWdCMCRza13jPep_csWCNT7XKUgw95YrKLYrKbb_wtrJ=s0-d" width="220"></a><br> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/08/192-t-shirt-designs-and-counting.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Gmail Blog:192 t-shirt designs (and counting!)&url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/08/192-t-shirt-designs-and-counting.html&via=gmail'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/08/192-t-shirt-designs-and-counting.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/08/192-t-shirt-designs-and-counting.html' data-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/08/192-t-shirt-designs-and-counting.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/08/192-t-shirt-designs-and-counting.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Gmail%20Blog' rel='tag'> Gmail Blog </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2519072655923600112' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2007/08/some-great-gmail-video-responses.html' itemprop='url' title='Some great Gmail video responses!'> Some great Gmail video responses!

Labels let you group together emails any way you choose. They also provide an added benefit called multiple inclusion. And that means you can associate a single message with as many labels as you want.<br /><br />So how does this help you? Let's say you get lots of mail about Xena (you know, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xena:_Warrior_Princess" title="Warrior Princess">Warrior Princess</a>), and you also get lots of mail from friends. In most mail applications, you could put all messages about Xena in a "Xena" folder and all mail from friends in a "Friends" folder. But when a friend sends you a note about Xena -- well, you could make "Xena" a subfolder of "Friends," which doesn't totally make sense. You could make "Friends" a subfolder of "Xena?" Or maybe make a copy of the mail and put it into both? Sure, if you want to keep track of both, take up twice the space, and forget to delete one if you ever delete the other. Blah!<br /><br />Now let's say you have Gmail labels. If you get a Xena mail from a friend, just apply the label "Xena" and the label "Friends". Now you can find it in "Xena," you can find it in "Friends" -- and you only have to keep track of one thing.<br /><br />If you don't get the Xena thing, replace "Xena" with "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer" title="Buffy">Buffy</a>".

Labels let you group together emails any way you choose. They also provide an added benefit called multiple inclusion. And that means you can associate a single message with as many labels as you want.<br /><br />So how does this help you? Let's say you get lots of mail about Xena (you know, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xena:_Warrior_Princess" title="Warrior Princess">Warrior Princess</a>), and you also get lots of mail from friends. In most mail applications, you could put all messages about Xena in a "Xena" folder and all mail from friends in a "Friends" folder. But when a friend sends you a note about Xena -- well, you could make "Xena" a subfolder of "Friends," which doesn't totally make sense. You could make "Friends" a subfolder of "Xena?" Or maybe make a copy of the mail and put it into both? Sure, if you want to keep track of both, take up twice the space, and forget to delete one if you ever delete the other. Blah!<br /><br />Now let's say you have Gmail labels. If you get a Xena mail from a friend, just apply the label "Xena" and the label "Friends".

It gets the spam out of your Inbox and keeps what is truly spam separate from any non-spam messages you just want to delete.

When you report spam, we compute all kinds of interesting things about the spammy message you reported and combine it with the information that other users are reporting about the same message or sender. When our automated system sees a lot of people marking a particular email as spam, it starts blocking similar emails pretty quickly.<br /><br />Reason #3: It lets us know when we need to do more development. We surround ourselves with monitors displaying the current spam situation on all kinds of nice charts and tickers. When a spammer figures out how to bypass our system, lots of spam reports start flowing in, and we see that pretty much immediately. We react as quickly as we can to these events, developing and testing new code. Usually we can address these in a few hours, but sometimes this can take a few days or weeks to get right. Please don't give up reporting the spam, though.
