Gmail inbox tip of the day...
 

Do you use Gmail and have an inbox with 1000's of messages and hundreds of them new?

You can view only new messages by typing:

is:unread

in the search mail box. Then you can weed out the old stuff and focus on what needs your attention.

thats a pretty lame tip

heres a real tip to save this thread

looking for only emails with attachments?

has:attachment

or only looking for files with .* extension?

filename: (jpg OR jpeg OR png)

my current mailbox has ~200 emails total but when i search this way it comes up with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of unread emails!

That just means you have a ton unread throughout the system; labels, etc.

i am at 79%.

Id like to be able to sort by attachment SIZE so I can get rid of a lot of crap

Nice... ..

yeah, it must be hitting my spam folder which i don't think i've ever even opened :1orglaugh

That's easy to empty. Just go in, select all and delete in one fell swoop.

Be careful though, I do have a lot of legit mail go to my spam folder. It used to not be that way with gmail.

appreciated!

heck i'm only at 4% as it stands eh, i run 5 email accounts through my gmail account, i love it. and i don't have to fiddle fart around with an email client. google docs. the cloud. haven't been able to configure my printer on google cloud though.

Or you can use the new beta and set it up as showing only the new emails on top.

what would be super nice is to have it setup to have the default reply from email be the one the original email was sent to... it defaults to the gmail addy.

Thanks for the tips :pimp

you can change that in your settings

u tease.


i've looked all over for it, it's been a while maybe they changed it but i never could find the option.

checking this out now, thanks, it looks like it's right there, front & center!

sweet! got it

When replying to a message:
Reply from the same address the message was sent to
Always reply from default address (currently


thansk punker barbie.......

Is there a page with all of these shortcuts listed?

muawh! :thumbsup

I love Gmail. I run everything through gmail.

i was just kidding it was a good tip but riddle me this

how do i make all my unread messages be marked as read, all at once?

filter-->is:unread-->mark as read.

Press F5 to refresh your browser. :1orglaugh

that only marks the 20 on my screen as unread, is there a way to mark the other 1000s?

Whole nother step... just leave it and its archived already...

thanks, i needed this.

is there option for that but just from INBOX to show, not all msgs even from archive

Great tips everyone. Anything to make productivity easier!

lol I thought this thread was going to be about bulk mailing.

got me on that one. i would think there is but have no idea.

:)

:thumbsup

Anyone using a good FF 5.0 plugin for new message popups?

Why does Google Mail search sucks most of the time? It's as sucky as Yahoo Mail Search!

I need a good email client for my android phone, just got it and hate the client it came with!
