Gmail is great.  But, there are some tricks to make it even better. 

Here are the best Gmail tricks to improve your email experience:

  • Handy Keyboard Shortcuts – c = compose new email; ! = report spam; g + t = go to sent folder
  • Consolidate all your email accounts – If you have more than one email account, you can set them all up under one Gmail account for sending and receiving.  Here’s how: Go to Gmail Settings -> Accounts -> Add another mail account.
  • Be told when you have new email – No need to keep Gmail open.  Just install the Gmail notifier to have it check email for you and notify you.
  • Send text messages via Gmail – Go to Settings -> Labs -> Chat and SMS and enter the phone number in the chat box and text away.
  • Organize your inbox better – Go to Labels -> More -> Create new label and type your new folder or label name and click Create.  You can even create a subfolders.  For instance, if you have Family as a folder, but want to create Cousins under Family, you just have to create Family/Cousins and you have an instant subfolder.

You don’t have to be a Gmail expert to use these tricks.  They will help improve your email support experience and make you more productive.
