Working on Gmail, I get asked all the time what settings and features I use to help me power through my mail. Rather than answer my friends and co-workers one by one, I thought I’d put it all into a blog post. So here goes.<br /> <ul><li><b>Turn on Priority Inbox</b>. I couldn’t live without <a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/help/priority-inbox.html">Priority Inbox</a>. I keep the default set-up with important and unread mail at the top of my inbox and the section for everything else at the bottom.</li> <li><b>Show more than 25 conversations in your inbox</b>. I like to see as many emails as possible per page so I can quickly scan through my mail, so I have this set to 100 (the max possible). Go to Gmail Settings and look for “Maximum page size” which you can change to 25, 50, or 100.</li> <li><b>Enable keyboard shortcuts</b>. Press the “?” key when looking at your inbox to see the list of keyword shortcuts. Make sure they are turned on, then pick one or two to start with and <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6594">try to learn more</a> as you become comfortable. I probably use ‘e’ to archive my messages and ‘j’ and ‘k’ to move through messages the most.</li> </ul>Many of the features I love can be found in <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/labs">Gmail Labs</a> (click on the “Labs” tab from Gmail Settings). I have a ton of them on, but the combo of these four work really well for me:<br /> <ul><li><b>Inbox preview</b>: Shows a simple, static preview of your inbox while Gmail is loading. While you can’t take action on the messages until your inbox fully loads, it’s great to get a sneak peek and form a plan of attack.</li> <li><b>Send and archive</b>: Adds a button that lets you send a reply to a message and archive the conversation in a single click (keyboard shortcuts work well with this one, too).</li> <li><b>Background send</b>: Lets Gmail send your mail in the background while you move on to more important things.</li> <li><b>Auto advance</b>: Automatically shows the next conversation instead of going back to your inbox after you delete, archive, or mute a conversation. When combined with the “Send and archive” button and background send, this feature makes reading and replying to messages lightning fast.</li> </ul>Try out this set up and <a href="//www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/label?lid=613f70d9ff743405&hl=en">let us know</a> what your favorite features are. <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 Paul McDonald, Product Manager</span> <br /> <br /> Gmail offers a ton of customization, and when you get hundreds of emails every day it’s crucial that you have it set up to process mail quickly and efficiently.

Here are five ways you can make Priority Inbox work even better for you:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Customize your sections</span><br />By default, Priority Inbox has three sections: "Important and Unread," "Starred" and "Everything Else.” But that doesn't mean you have to leave them that way. You can make a section show messages from a particular label (like your “Action” or “To-do” label), add a fourth section, or change the maximum size of any section. Visit the <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&fs=1&view=pu&st=priorityinbox">Priority Inbox tab under Settings</a> to customize your sections, or do it right from the inline menus.<br /><br /><a href="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TIfef_--FCI/AAAAAAAAAto/XNT7OiVjkAk/s1600/inline_menus.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514620910071321634" src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TIfef_--FCI/AAAAAAAAAto/XNT7OiVjkAk/inline_menus.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Train the system</span><br />If Gmail makes a mistake, you can help it learn to better categorize your messages. Select the misclassified message, then use the importance buttons at the top of your inbox to correctly mark it as important or not important.<br /><br /><a href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TIfS7eGZqYI/AAAAAAAAAtY/IhfnjiKM4lM/s1600/importance_buttons.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514608187872487810" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TIfS7eGZqYI/AAAAAAAAAtY/IhfnjiKM4lM/s400/importance_buttons.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br />For those of you who can't live without <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6594">keyboard shortcuts</a>, don’t worry, you can use the "+" and "-" keys to adjust importance as well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. See the best of your filtered messages</span><br />You can set up Priority Inbox to show you not just the best of your inbox, but also the best of messages you filter out of your inbox and might otherwise miss. Just change your Priority Inbox settings to “Override filters” and Gmail will surface any important messages that would otherwise skip your inbox. <br /><br /><a href="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TIfStG-V5_I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/PvIA81Lf3TM/s1600/override_filters.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514607941146503154" src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TIfStG-V5_I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/PvIA81Lf3TM/override_filters.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br />With this option turned on, you can use filters to archive more aggressively and worry less about missing an important message. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4. Use filters to guarantee certain messages get marked important (or not)</span><br />If you read and reply to a lot of messages from your mom, Gmail should automatically put incoming messages from her in the “Important and unread” section. But if you want to be 100% sure that all messages from your mom (or your boss, boyfriend, client, landlord, etc.) are marked important, you can <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6579">create a filter</a> for messages from that sender and select “Always mark as important.” Similarly, if you regularly read messages from your favorite magazine, they should automatically get marked as important. If you’d rather they end up in the “Everything else” section, you can create a filter to never mark them as important. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5. Archive unimportant messages quickly</span><br />One of the features that can help make you more efficient is the ability to archive all of the visible messages in the "Everything Else" section at once. Just click on the down arrow next to "Everything Else" and select the "Archive all visible items" option. If you want to be able to archive even more messages at once, you can increase the maximum number of messages that show in that section from the same drop-down.<br /><br /><a href="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TIfeWwoac8I/AAAAAAAAAtg/Qm4DhzHOL_s/s1600/archive_unimportant.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514620751331357634" src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TIfeWwoac8I/AAAAAAAAAtg/Qm4DhzHOL_s/archive_unimportant.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></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 Kristen Lemons, Gmail Support Team</span><br /><br />It’s been a week since we <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/email-overload-try-priority-inbox.html">launched Priority Inbox</a>, and now that you've hopefully had a chance to try it out, we wanted to share some tips to help you manage your email more efficiently.

While attachments' days may be waning, they're still very much a part of most people's email experience. Here are five things you may not know you can do with Gmail to make sending, receiving, viewing, and finding attachments easier:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Drag attachments in </span><br />Simply drag files from your desktop right into the message you're composing and they'll upload from there. (Make sure you're using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox 3.6 for this to work.)<br /><br /><a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TBk1oN8e5vI/AAAAAAAAAnw/Q__a2BC5Mjc/s1600/drag_attachments.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483472986354673394" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/TBk1oN8e5vI/AAAAAAAAAnw/Q__a2BC5Mjc/drag_attachments.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Select multiple attachments</span><br />Attaching multiple files one by one is no fun. Instead, just multi-select the files you want to attach by holding down the Ctrl key (or Command on a Mac) and clicking on each file you want to attach. Holding down the Shift key will select a continuous list of files. <br /><br /><a href="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SaT9EFM0XDI/AAAAAAAAARU/cKAGrauGn0M/s1600/multiselect.jpg"><img border="0" src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SaT9EFM0XDI/AAAAAAAAARU/cKAGrauGn0M/multiselect.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Never forget an attachment again </span><br />Gmail looks for phrases in your email that suggest you meant to attach a file (things like "I've attached" or "see attachment") and warns you if it looks like you forgot to do so. Every day, this saves tons of people the embarrassment of having to send a follow up email with the file actually attached.<br /><br /><a href="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S33Z-Q7yNUI/AAAAAAAAAfA/Aalj4Wvfk08/forgotten_attachment_warning.png"><img border="0" src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S33Z-Q7yNUI/AAAAAAAAAfA/Aalj4Wvfk08/forgotten_attachment_warning.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4. View attachments online</span><br />When you receive an attachment, sometimes you just want to view it and there's no need to download or save to your desktop. The <a href="http://docs.google.com/viewer">Google Docs viewer</a> allows you to view .pdf, .ppt, and .tiff files in your browser. Just click the "View" link at the bottom of the message.<br /><br /><a href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SULtOLUHUnI/AAAAAAAAANc/vvPeW6T5UOY/s1600/pdf_view_link.png"><img border="0" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SULtOLUHUnI/AAAAAAAAANc/vvPeW6T5UOY/pdf_view_link.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5.

So, in honor of <a href="http://www.nationalsmallbusinessweek.com/">National Small Business Week</a> and the estimated 27.2 million small businesses in America, we wanted to share some tips we’ve picked up from them (and other people at Google) on how to get the most out of using Gmail at work. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Get a Gmail account at your own domain (e.g. michelle@yourdomain.com) with <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-blog-us-smb_gmail&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=gmail_5_26">Google Apps</a>.</span> Google Apps is a suite of communication and collaboration tools, including Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs, which run on your own domain, so instead of using your @gmail.com email address, you (and other employees) can have email addresses @yourdomain.com. Using a customized email address can help build an identity around your business and make you look more professional along the way.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Add a custom signature to the bottom of your email messages.</span> Email signatures are automatically inserted at the bottom of every message you send, and can be a great place to add your title, contact information, and even the latest news from your company. Just go to Settings at the top of your inbox and enter your signature text in the box at the bottom.<br /><br /><a href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S_y0CPq2_FI/AAAAAAAAAlw/oyLJwj1l3HI/s1600/signature.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475449197634714706" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S_y0CPq2_FI/AAAAAAAAAlw/oyLJwj1l3HI/signature.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Manage multiple email accounts from a single interface.</span> If you’re like a lot of business owners, you probably regularly receive email in several different accounts. By centralizing your correspondence in Gmail, you’ll be able to keep track of it all more easily. To do this, either forward your other email addresses to your main Gmail account or route them there using Gmail’s <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=21288">Mail Fetcher</a>, which downloads messages via POP from up to five other accounts. To set it up, visit the <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/#settings/accounts">Account and Import tab</a> under Settings.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4. Set up custom “From” addresses. </span>This feature allows you to send messages from Gmail with one of your other email addresses listed as the sender. Once you set it up, you can choose the address you want to reply from while composing messages in the "From:" address drop down. This too is under Settings on the <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/#settings/accounts">Account and Import tab</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5. Embrace labels</span>. Folders are familiar, especially when it comes to work email. If you want to organize your emails in a similar way, make sure you’re using Gmail <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=118708">labels</a>. Combined with <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6579">filters</a>, they can be a powerful tool to manage your mail. Create labels for projects, vendors, customers, weekly reports, launches, to-do’s -- the list goes on. You can also add custom colors to your labels, order them based on priority, and search the contents of specific labels. And don’t forget that you can drag messages into labels, just like you can with folders.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">6. Use chat and video chat to communicate with colleagues, or provide real-time customer support. </span><br /><a href="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S_y0cErUT_I/AAAAAAAAAl4/6oK6eN_r458/s1600/video_chat.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475449641360445426" src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S_y0cErUT_I/AAAAAAAAAl4/6oK6eN_r458/s400/video_chat.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px;"></a> No matter where everyone is located, you can communicate in real-time as though you were in the same room with video chat or just chat via voice or text. Try using “<a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=34539">Reply by chat</a>” at the bottom of each message if you want to reach the sender quickly. To add video chat capabilities to Gmail, all you need is this small <a href="//www.google.com/chat/video">plugin</a> and a webcam.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">7. Keep track of your to-do’s with Tasks. </span><br /><a href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S_y0-q6o1tI/AAAAAAAAAmA/aYndbDiAj6o/s1600/tasks.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475450235740804818" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S_y0-q6o1tI/AAAAAAAAAmA/aYndbDiAj6o/tasks.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a>You spend a lot of time in your inbox, so why not keep track of what you have to do there too? <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=106237">Tasks</a> allows you to create multiple lists, add notes to each task, assign due dates, and get the satisfaction of checking off completed items.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">8. Use offline Gmail anytime you're not online.</span> Despite having Internet access almost everywhere, work may take you to places where you just can’t get online. Turn on offline Gmail from the <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/#settings/offline">Offline tab under Settings</a>, and Gmail will download a local cache of your mail which synchronizes with Gmail's servers while you’re connected. When you lose connectivity, Gmail automatically switches to offline mode, so you can continue to work, and your replies are automatically sent the next time Gmail detects a connection.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">9. Create canned responses and quickly reply to common questions.</span> When it comes to emailing at work, you’re probably used to sending out weekly reports, or answering the same questions from customers or colleagues multiple times. That’s where <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-canned-responses.html">canned responses</a> can save precious time: turn on this feature in <a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&fs=1&view=pu&st=labs">Gmail Labs</a>, compose your response once, save it, then use it over and over again.<br /><br /><a href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S_y1q2GSHZI/AAAAAAAAAmI/R5krYVY4exk/s1600/CR.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475450994656681362" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S_y1q2GSHZI/AAAAAAAAAmI/R5krYVY4exk/CR.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">10. Make sure you have the right Bob before hitting send.</span> If you’ve ever accidentally sent a personal email to the wrong co-worker, or emailed your internal meeting notes to an external contact, then you'll want to turn on “<a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-in-labs-got-wrong-bob.html">Got the wrong Bob?</a>” from the <a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&fs=1&view=pu&st=labs">Labs tab under Settings</a>.

Deliver interesting posts to your inbox.</span> Sometimes you're really interested in a certain conversation and would like to get it delivered to your inbox. You used to have to comment on a post in order to get updates sent to your inbox. Now, you can set the post to be delivered to your inbox regardless of whether or not you've participated. Click the down-arrow in the upper right-hand corner of a post, and select "Deliver to my Inbox." <br /><br /><a href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S9CGfnHQI_I/AAAAAAAAAkw/HabtLRghJjw/s1600/delivertoinbox.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463014225633879026" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S9CGfnHQI_I/AAAAAAAAAkw/HabtLRghJjw/delivertoinbox.jpg" style="border:0pt none; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2.

Here are five tips to get you started:<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Format your posts</span>. When posting in Buzz, you can format text just as you can in Gmail chat: *bold*, _italics_, or -strikethrough- all work.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdu8pvqwI/AAAAAAAAAeg/3vxsNg_Ac88/s1600-h/formatting.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439466248581655298" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdu8pvqwI/AAAAAAAAAeg/3vxsNg_Ac88/formatting.png" style="border:0pt none; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. View a summary of your own Buzz activity at <a href="//www.google.com/dashboard">www.google.com/dashboard</a></span>. The <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/transparency-choice-and-control-now.html">Google Dashboard</a> provides a private, consolidated summary of the data associated with your Google account, as well as direct links to control your personal settings. As of today, Buzz has its own section on the Dashboard, so you can see how many people you're following, how many people are following you, and information about your recent posts, comments, and likes. You can also access your Buzz settings right there on the page.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zd6a3BM5I/AAAAAAAAAeo/mQqwycgOE3o/s1600-h/dashboard.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439466445668955026" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zd6a3BM5I/AAAAAAAAAeo/mQqwycgOE3o/dashboard.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;"></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Use an @reply to send a post directly to someone's inbox</span>. If you want to make sure one of your friends sees a certain Buzz post, you can direct it to their inbox with an @reply. Type the "@" symbol followed by the first few letters of their name, and select their email address from the list. Only you'll see their Gmail address — other people will just see their name.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdf1NsBzI/AAAAAAAAAeY/Rk59uvGayFQ/s1600-h/autocomplete.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439465988886890290" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdf1NsBzI/AAAAAAAAAeY/Rk59uvGayFQ/autocomplete.png" style="border:0pt none; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4. Try keyboard shortcuts to fly through buzz</span>. Turn on keyboard shortcuts from <a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/#settings">Settings</a>, and use "j" or "n" to scroll down the buzz tab, "k" or "p" to go back up, "r" to comment (same shortcut as reply in Gmail), and "shift + l" to like.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5. Mute posts so they don't get sent to your inbox.</span> Comments on your posts and comments after your comments send buzz directly to your inbox. If you don't want a lively conversation to keep appearing in your inbox as people reply to it, you can mute it. Click the arrow in the corner of a buzz post and select "Mute this post."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdMt61wWI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/zj6pNOLZc-M/s1600-h/mute.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439465660511273314" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdMt61wWI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/zj6pNOLZc-M/mute.png" style="border:0pt none; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br />If you have keyboard shortcuts turned on, you can also mute buzz that appears in your inbox by hitting the "m" key while you're reading it. <br /><br />Check out our <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=27291">Help Center</a> for more tips and answers to your common questions, and stay tuned for more here as well. <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 John Costigan, Software Engineer</span><br /><br />Now that people have been playing with Google Buzz in Gmail for a week and we've rolled out the <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-buzz-start-up-experience-based-on.html">improvements</a> we announced here over the weekend, we wanted to let you know about some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of Buzz. Here are five tips to get you started:<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Format your posts</span>. When posting in Buzz, you can format text just as you can in Gmail chat: *bold*, _italics_, or -strikethrough- all work.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdu8pvqwI/AAAAAAAAAeg/3vxsNg_Ac88/s1600-h/formatting.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439466248581655298" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdu8pvqwI/AAAAAAAAAeg/3vxsNg_Ac88/formatting.png" style="border:0pt none; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. View a summary of your own Buzz activity at <a href="//www.google.com/dashboard">www.google.com/dashboard</a></span>. The <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/transparency-choice-and-control-now.html">Google Dashboard</a> provides a private, consolidated summary of the data associated with your Google account, as well as direct links to control your personal settings. As of today, Buzz has its own section on the Dashboard, so you can see how many people you're following, how many people are following you, and information about your recent posts, comments, and likes. You can also access your Buzz settings right there on the page.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zd6a3BM5I/AAAAAAAAAeo/mQqwycgOE3o/s1600-h/dashboard.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439466445668955026" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zd6a3BM5I/AAAAAAAAAeo/mQqwycgOE3o/dashboard.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;"></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Use an @reply to send a post directly to someone's inbox</span>. If you want to make sure one of your friends sees a certain Buzz post, you can direct it to their inbox with an @reply. Type the "@" symbol followed by the first few letters of their name, and select their email address from the list. Only you'll see their Gmail address — other people will just see their name.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdf1NsBzI/AAAAAAAAAeY/Rk59uvGayFQ/s1600-h/autocomplete.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439465988886890290" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdf1NsBzI/AAAAAAAAAeY/Rk59uvGayFQ/autocomplete.png" style="border:0pt none; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4. Try keyboard shortcuts to fly through buzz</span>. Turn on keyboard shortcuts from <a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/#settings">Settings</a>, and use "j" or "n" to scroll down the buzz tab, "k" or "p" to go back up, "r" to comment (same shortcut as reply in Gmail), and "shift + l" to like.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5. Mute posts so they don't get sent to your inbox.</span> Comments on your posts and comments after your comments send buzz directly to your inbox. If you don't want a lively conversation to keep appearing in your inbox as people reply to it, you can mute it. Click the arrow in the corner of a buzz post and select "Mute this post."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdMt61wWI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/zj6pNOLZc-M/s1600-h/mute.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439465660511273314" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/S3zdMt61wWI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/zj6pNOLZc-M/mute.png" style="border:0pt none; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br />If you have keyboard shortcuts turned on, you can also mute buzz that appears in your inbox by hitting the "m" key while you're reading it. <br /><br />Check out our <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=27291">Help Center</a> for more tips and answers to your common questions, and stay tuned for more here as well. <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/2010/02/5-buzz-tips.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:5 Buzz tips&url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2010/02/5-buzz-tips.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/2010/02/5-buzz-tips.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/2010/02/5-buzz-tips.html' data-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2010/02/5-buzz-tips.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2010/02/5-buzz-tips.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/buzz' rel='tag'> buzz </a> , <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Gmail%20Blog' rel='tag'> Gmail Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Apps Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/tip' rel='tag'> tip </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='6399320424930380963' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2009/10/gmail-account-security-tips.html' itemprop='url' title='Gmail account security tips'> Gmail account security tips </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> October 27, 2009 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Sarah Price, Online Operations Strategist</span><br /><br />As part of <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/celebrating-national-cyber-security.html">National Cyber Security Awareness Month</a>, we recently posted about <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/choosing-smart-password.html">how to pick a smart password</a>. Having a strong password goes a long way in helping to protect your data, but there are a number of additional steps you can take to help you keep your Gmail account secure:<br /><br /><b>1. Remember to sign out.</b> Especially when using a public computer, be careful to <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=blog&answer=8154">sign out of your Google account</a> when you're finished. Just click the "Sign out" link at the top right corner of your inbox. If you're using a public or shared computer and want to be extra thorough, you can also <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=blog&answer=8840">clear the browser's cache, cookies and history</a>. Then, completely close the browser. On your personal computer, you can also lock your computer with a password-protected screensaver if you need to step away momentarily. Learn the best ways to lock your screen in <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294317">Windows</a> or in <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/49080/2006/01/lockscreen.html">Mac OS X</a>. Forgot to sign out? Open up a new Gmail session on another computer and use Gmail's <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/remote-sign-out-and-info-to-help-you.html">remote sign out feature</a> to close any sessions that might still be open elsewhere. <br /><br /><b>2. Be careful about sending certain sensitive information via email.</b> Once you send an email, you're no longer in control of the information it contains. The recipients, if they so choose, could forward the email or post its contents in a public place. Even if you know and trust the people you're emailing, that information may become exposed if their accounts become compromised or they get a virus on their machines. As a rule of thumb, should you need to provide a credit card number or financial account number to respond to a message, provide it over the phone or in person — not over email. And never share your password with anyone. Google does not email you to ask you for your password, your social security number, or other personal information — so don't send it!<br /><br /><b>3. Enable "Always use HTTPS."</b> Any time you visit a webpage, your computer needs to send and receive information across the Internet. HTTPS is used to encrypt data as it is transmitted between computers on the Internet, so look for the "https" in the URL bar of your browser to indicate that the connection between your computer and Gmail's servers is encrypted. We use HTTPS on the Gmail login page, and you can <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/making-security-easier.html">choose to protect your entire Gmail session with HTTPS</a> as well. HTTPS can make your mail slower, so we let you make the choice for yourself. Open <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/#settings">Settings</a> and choose "<a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=blog&answer=74765">Always use HTTPS</a>" on the General tab if you want to turn it on.<br /><br /><b>4. Be wary of unexpected attachments.</b>To help protect you from viruses and malware, <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=25760">Gmail automatically scans every attachment</a> when it's delivered to you, and again each time you open a message. Attachments you send are also scanned. That said, no system is foolproof, so if you happen to get an email from a friend with an attachment you didn't expect, don't be afraid to ask the sender what it is before you decide whether to open it. <br /><br /><b>5. Make sure your account recovery information is up-to-date.</b> Your <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdateAccountRecoveryOptions">account recovery information</a> helps you regain access to your account if you ever forget your password, or if someone gains access to your account without your permission. We currently offer several paths to account recovery. Every Gmail user must select a <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=blog&answer=29409">security question and answer</a> — be sure to choose a combination that is easy for you to remember, but hard for others to guess or come across by investigating. Don't choose a question like "What is my favorite color?" as others may easily guess the answer. We also encourage you to provide a secondary email address and/or a <a href="//www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=152124">mobile phone number</a>, so we can send you a link to reset your password if you lose access to your account.<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />You can find additional security tips for Gmail in our <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=46526">Help Center</a>.

And don't forget to keep them up-to-date.<br /><br /><a href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SlZB7hYhdmI/AAAAAAAAAW8/vFtLxCfgZ5c/s1600-h/accountrecovery.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356541297633097314" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SlZB7hYhdmI/AAAAAAAAAW8/vFtLxCfgZ5c/accountrecovery.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></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/2009/07/tip-recover-your-password-via-text.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:Tip: Recover your password via text message&url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2009/07/tip-recover-your-password-via-text.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/2009/07/tip-recover-your-password-via-text.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/2009/07/tip-recover-your-password-via-text.html' data-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2009/07/tip-recover-your-password-via-text.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2009/07/tip-recover-your-password-via-text.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> , <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Apps Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/tip' rel='tag'> tip </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5976936028046126239' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2009/06/so-you-want-to-be-gmail-ninja.html' itemprop='url' title='So, you want to be a Gmail ninja?'> So, you want to be a Gmail ninja? </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> June 23, 2009 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Zach Yeskel, Product Marketing Manager</span><br /><br />If you got 100 new messages, how long would it take you to get through them all?

This makes it easy to email your friends interesting pages you come across as you browse the web. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SQ-Ttt6VfuI/AAAAAAAAAJs/vcy8E7rN4ek/s1600-h/toolbar_sendtogmail.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264588903047069410" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SQ-Ttt6VfuI/AAAAAAAAAJs/vcy8E7rN4ek/s400/toolbar_sendtogmail.gif" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;"></a><br />Plus, you can also add Google gadgets to your Toolbar to bring your favorite websites and online services closer to you. One of my favorites is the <a href="http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/add?url=http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/defs/calendar.google.com.xml">Google Calendar gadget</a>: by clicking on the calendar icon, I can check out my schedule for the next few days and even add events. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SQ-Ty3DnVWI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/OiR-_pIpdxE/s1600-h/toolbar_calendar.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264588991401252194" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/_JE4qNpFW6Yk/SQ-Ty3DnVWI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/OiR-_pIpdxE/s400/toolbar_calendar.gif" style="display:block;
