3. SNOOZE
so you don't forget
Postpone emails and temporarily remove
them from your inbox until you need them.
Your email will come back to the top of your
inbox when you want it to, whether that's
tomorrow, next week, or this evening. You
can find your snoozed

5. MUTE
annoyingly noisy email threads
Mute a conversation in Gmail and you won't see any
further messages related to it in your inbox. Any
emails added to the conversation after you mute it
will be stored in your Gmail account, you'll still be
able to search for the conversation to view new
messages. Muting is a handy way of hiding personal
communications while in the office and dismissing
conversations from friends on particular projects.

7. READING PANE
for an Outlook-like look
If you've got a big display, for using
Gmail's reading pane. It makes Gmail
look and feel more like Outlook, where
you can view and respond to messages
without leaving the inbox.

9. CHOOSE YOUR TABS
Gmail does an admirable job of filtering
your inbox so the messages you care
about go to your inbox while the rest
get relegated to the Social or
Promotional tabs.

11. ENABLE
auto-advance & thank me later
I spend a large chunk at the beginning and end of each
workday deleting unwanted emails. I prefer to open each
email before deleting it so I can take at least a quick glance
at it before discarding it. By default, Gmail sends you back
to your inbox instead of the next message when you delete
an opened message, which requires more clicks and time to
clean out your inbox. You can change this behavior in
settings, however, so you advance to the previous or next
message after you delete an opened message.

13. EMAIL LARGE
attachments via Google Drive
There's a little Drive icon at the
bottom of Gmail's compose
window. It lets you attach files you
have stored in Drive or simply send
a link.

15. HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:
Advanced search
With Google behind Gmail, it's no
surprise that Gmail offers powerful
search tools. You've likely used the
search bar above your inbox to dig up
an old email based on a keyword or
sender, but it can do so much more.
