ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


Introduction
About Gmail

The year is 2004 and three email services dominate the market. They are Hotmail,
AOL and Yahoo mail. After extensive testing, Google decides to branch beyond
being only a search engine and launches Gmail (or Google Mail in Germany) on
April 1st. Because of the interestingly chosen “April Fools’ Day” launch (Gmail was
made live minutes before midnight on March 31st, 2004), Gmail was met with a lot of
skepticism, especial y because it offered 1 gig of free storage space at a time when
other companies offered in average 100mb.

Initial y, only a limited
group of 1000 opinion
leaders were invited
into the Beta test
version of Gmail, and
allowed to invite their
friends and family.
Then users from
Blogger.com were also sent invitations, and within a short time, the invitations had
become precious commodities. Some were being sold on Ebay for as much as $150
and websites that swapped invitations started appearing al over the web.
Soon Gmail started al owing its users to invite as many as 50 people, and it started
growing exponentially until almost anyone who wanted to join could easily get an
invite from someone they knew.

In 2005 it had increased its mailbox size to 2 gigs, a huge amount of storage by 2005
standards and had become available in many languages beyond English.
It has since continual y added new features and final y, in 2009, it removed the
“Beta” status from its name. Gmail is now one of the top email services in the world.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


Why choose Gmail

Gmail has profited from Google’s innovations to become such a popular email
service. It has differentiated itself from other services in many ways:
 It has ever increasing amount of storage space instead of a set amount like
Hotmail, Yahoo and AOL do
 It has created an interface that they believe works more natural y than the
folder system used by the other 3 major services. It consist of stars and labels
(more on that later)
 Gmail can be used as an account for a whole plethora of Google services
 Gmail Labs adds many features not commonly found on your average email
account (more on that later)
 Certain features such as Google docs, Calendar and Chat work seamlessly
among Gmail users and can be an efficient way of collaborating
 It is a powerful, reliable and feature rich email service. And it’s free!
 Gmail can also be used with your own domain name, by using Google Apps
 It’s compatible with most mobile phones


Creating an account

One question a lot of people seem to have is in relation to the difference between a
Google account and a Gmail account. They are not necessarily the same thing.
The catch is, you are al owed to create a Google account using your existing email
account. That is not a Gmail account, but an account that allows you access to
some of Google’s services. One the other hand, if you do create a Gmail account, it
automatically becomes your Google account with access to all of Google’s services
using that id and password. So basically, Gmail accounts are always Google
Accounts, but Google Accounts aren’t Gmail accounts if you are using a different
email from username@gmail.com.

So then, how do you create a Gmail account?
1. Go to http://www.gmail.com
2. Click the button that says “Create an
account” on the bottom right box.
3. Careful y fil out al the fields on the form
4. Click “I accept. Create my account”
You wil be taken to an introduction page. Click
“Show me my account”. You wil be taken to your new email account and there wil
be some emails from the Gmail Team welcoming you, introducing you to some of
the features and helping you import your contacts and old mail.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


Gmail as a Google Account

So now that you have created a Gmail account, can you use it for anything besides
email? The answer is yes.
As explained above, Gmail accounts are also Google accounts, and though I won’t
explain all services associated with them, you should know that you can use your
Gmail id and password on many Google services, such as:
 Google Analytics – To track visitors to your website
 Blogger – Blogging site
Google Calendar – A calendar directly integrated with Gmail
Google Docs – An online document editor directly integrated with Gmail; a
Microsoft Office online substitute.
 YouTube – Online video streaming
 Google Sites – To create websites and wikis
 Google Dashboard – Your portal to all of the Google services that can be
accessed with your Gmail or Google account, from one interface.
 And many, many more services and sites.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


Gmail’s Interface
Though most of Gmail’s email functions are similar to the ones you might have used
in other email services, it’s common to have to take a little time to acquaint yourself
to a different interface. Below is a simple guide to using Gmail’s web interface:




1 – Inbox

It is where you wil find the email you have received and also where you wil find
replies you have written to those emails. Gmail stacks the messages sent back and
forth between 2 or more people so you can view them all as a single strand, and
easily follow conversations up as shown on the example below.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


2 – Compose Mail

It is what you would click to start writing an email. You can either type the ful email
address or start typing the first few letters and Gmail wil search through your contact
list and give you email address options to choose from. You can also click on the
“To” button to be taken to your contact list where you can choose the email you
want to use. When writing your email, by putting your mouse over the buttons on the
compose panel, you can tell what each button does, be it change color, font, insert
image or link.


3 – Drafts

Gmail wil save a copy of the email you are writing as you write it as a “draft”. It wil
do so on small time intervals, but if you decide to save it yourself, you can always just
click on the button that says “Save Now” on the bottom of the compose window.
When you do that, a copy gets saved on the Draft folder so you can continue to
write it later if you prefer. Once you send the message, they automatical y
disappear from the Drafts folder.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


4 – Sent Mail

Al the email you have ever sent someone can be found by clicking the “Sent Mail”
button. It wil separate the emails you have sent from the ones sent to you so you
can clearly see only the ones you sent yourself.
5 – More

The “More” button opens a series of options such as your “Spam” and “Trash”. You
can drag those labels in and out of the more button to customize how you want to
view the main buttons on your email, so if you decide you want to have your “Trash”
button readily available under the inbox, just drag it there, and if you decide you
want your “Drafts” under the “More” button, just drag it there.

6 – Report Spam

Gmail tends to do a great job keeping spam out of your inbox, but if you do receive
some, or there is some insistent company that keeps emailing you even though you
asked to be removed from their mailing list, simply select that email and click on
“Report Spam”. It wil make any emails from that address go straight to spam, and it
wil help Gmail recognize it in the future.

7 – Delete

Because your storage space with Gmail is constantly growing, it is unnecessary, for
most people, to ever need to delete emails. If you just don’t want to see a certain
email on your inbox anymore, check the box next to that email and click the delete
button. It wil be moved to your trash folder. If you permanently want to remove your
email, delete it out of your trash folder as wel .

Keyboard Shortcuts

Gmail also allows for a series of keyboard shortcuts to make browsing and
responding to emails quicker. For example, by typing “Shft + c”, you can open your
composer email window, and by typing the letter “s” you can star a message.

For a complete cheatsheet of Gmail shortcuts, visit:

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


Organizing your Gmail
Over time, you may receive thousands of emails, and trying to find a certain email
can become a difficult task. That is why it is important to organise your emails so you
can easily find important ones in the future. Below are some useful features to help
organize al your emails and contacts.
Contacts

There are several ways to add and organize your contacts. Click on the “Contacts”
button on the left hand corner bar and you wil be taken to a page like this:



One very useful thing about Gmail is that you don’t real y have to add your contacts
by hand in the long run. Gmail wil automatically add the emails of everyone you
replied to or have written to.
Gmail wil , by default, show you initially the most used contacts you have. To view
http://simplytatydesigns.com | Taty Sena

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


contacts that don’t appear on that list, either use the search feature or click on the
button that says “Al ”.

By clicking on the single little person with a + sign on the upper left hand side, you
can add individual contacts.

By clicking on the multiple little people with a plus sign, also on the upper left hand
side, you can create a group. You can move several people to each group, so
when you need to email them you don’t need to select them one by one. For
example, when I am working on a project with a certain number of people, I create
a group cal ed “Project Whatever Name” and add to it all the people who are part
of that project. That way, when I need to send them all an email, al I need to do is
select that group on the email address field and they wil all receive the email.
You wil notice that Gmail has already created a few groups for you if you decide to
use them. They are the “Friends”, “Family” and “Coworkers” groups you see to your
left of the screen.

On the upper right hand corner you wil notice the import and export buttons.
You can import your contacts formatted as CSV files from Outlook, Outlook Express,
Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, Eudora and some other apps. Gmail also supports importing
vCard from apps like Apple Address Book.

The Export button is used if you want to do the opposite, export all of your contacts
to use in another program or as a back up.
You can also print contact information if you prefer the hard copy.

Gmail wil also help you manage your duplicate contacts by merging them or
removing old contacts.

You can also click on someone’s name and view al your recent conversations you
have had, which means, you can see al the emails you exchanged recently. You
can also do that simply by searching for the email address or the name of a contact
on the search bar on the main screen.

Stars

Stars function in Gmail as a way of marking emails that you would like to pay
attention to. You can star an email simply by clicking on the little star icon on the left
hand side of any email when on inbox preview. When you decide to look for them
again, you can simply click on the “Starred’ button and it wil retrieve all the emails
you have chosen to mark with a star.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


Labels

Labels are a much more elaborate way of organizing your emails. They work in a
very similar manner to folders in other email clients. You can create labels by clicking
on the button on top of the messages that says “Labels” and selecting “Manage
Labels”. You wil then be taken to a page that lets you manage al of your labels,
whether you want to show them or hide them from the left side menu, and the
option to delete them or create new ones.



When you decide to add an email to a particular label, simply check the box next
to that email, go to the label pul down and check the label you want to be

assigned to that email. Much like the stars, or folders, if at point you want to view
only emails that have that label, click on the name of the label on the left hand side
menu and al the emails you have attached that label to wil appear.

You can also “mute” an email. Let’s say you signed up for a mailing list, you want to
receive, so they are not spam, but they send emails so frequently that you don’t
want to see it popping up all the time. Well, you can go to “more actions” and
select “Mute” or simply type the letter “m” when reading one of the emails, and
from then on, all emails coming from that group wil bypass the inbox and go directly
to archive, where you can find them when you do want to read the messages.

Advanced Settings
There are many settings to choose from with Gmail. Some control basic features,
some add features to the emails, some determine how you reply, who you receive
emails from, and how you use your Gmail services. Below is a brief guideline for some
of those settings. You can access them by clicking on the “Settings” button on the
upper left hand corner of your Gmail window.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


General Settings

There are many things you can determine from the general settings. A few examples
are:

 Maximum Page size: Determines how many emails you see at a time (the
default is 50). Just remember, making that number very large can make your
page load slower.

 My Pictures: al ows you to upload a picture which wil be seen by your friends
when they chat with you, move their mouse over your name on the chat bar,
on Buzz, or throughout your Gmail pages. It’s a great way to personalize
Gmail. There is also a setting to determine whether you get to see the pictures
your friends uploaded.

 Signature: You can write something inside the box that would appear on the
bottom of every email you write. Some people use that to add their contact
information without having to type it every time. Others use it to add
something fun, like a quote or a saying they like.

 Vacation Responder: Let’s you add a message that wil automatical y be sent
to anyone who emails you during a certain period of time. That way if some
business email comes in, you can add the auto responder to reply with an
alternate contact while you are away and a message saying when you are
coming back. It is also useful for friends who might not realize you are away
and who wil be wondering why you aren’t replying to their emails.

Accounts and Import

It is under these settings that Gmail has options to help you import your email and
contacts from other email accounts. Simply click the button that says import mail
and contacts and follow the prompts. It wil ask for your email and password and
email wil attempt to import all of the information. In certain cases, such as when you
are trying to import emails from your personal website, you might have to add
information such as pop server.

You can also use Gmail as a substitute to using your own URL email such as
yourname@yourwebsite.com, without people realizing you are doing it. That’s where
the “Send mail as” can be handy. The easiest way to make use of this is to set
whatever your other email is to forward to your Gmail account. From that point, click
on the “Send mail another address” button. Enter your name and the other email
address and click next step. Gmail wil send that email a confirmation number that

you have to type in that box to prove that you are the person receiving that email.
One you have added that number, you can select to either make that email your
default responder, or it wil be one of the emails on a pul down you can select to
respond as.

You can also have Google host the email for your domain, by using Google Apps,
that way you would use your own domain address but within the Gmail interface.
To signup to Google Apps, visit http://www.google.com/a

Check mail using Pop3 allows you to import emails from different accounts so you
can read them and reply to them via Gmail. Gmail allows you to do that to as many
as 5 email addresses. The difference between that and the forwarding option is that
this al ows you to get those emails on Gmail while stil receiving them on your original
email address.
You can read more about that feature by checking out Gmail Support or some of
our articles: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=21289

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/email-hack-easily-access-your-emails-from-
hotmail-in-gmail/

Among the options here, is also to add more storage to Gmail. If you are one of the
super abnormal y busy people who are capable of fil ing several gigs of storage
space with simple emails, you can click the “add more storage” button to purchase
more gigs annual y.

You can also control your Google (and Gmail) account using the button “Google
account settings”. You can change your password, access other services and
create a profile from here.

It is also worth checking out Gmail for business if you are looking for an affordable
way to have your business emails hosted by Gmail.

Filters

The Filter setting al ows you to manage spam and choose how to handle certain
messages. Click on “Create new filter” and you can decide to “filter” a certain
email address, subject and even specific words. You can then decide how you
want that filter to be applied. The options include:
 Skip the Inbox (Archive it)
 Mark as read
 Star it
 Apply the label:
 Forward it to:
 Delete it
 Never send it to Spam

This way, every time you receive an email that fits the filter you set up, that action wil
be done without you having to do it manual y.
For example, let’s say I want emails from a particular sender to star it automatical y. I
create a new filter, user that email in the “from” field, click “next step”, select “Star
it” and click “Create filter”. From then on, every email from that sender wil
automatically be marked with a star. For more information on filters, read:

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


Forwarding and Pop/IMAP

What happens if you have a favorite email client, such as Outlook or Thunderbird,
but you stil want to use Gmail? You can control your options to either forward Gmail
emails to another email address, or to set it up to work with other email clients so you
can download your email to view on your computer or as a way of archiving the
email in a physical location as opposed to on the Google cloud.
To set up forwarding and pop, visit:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=75726 for
detailed instructions.

Offline

Another great feature is the ability to have access to your Gmail even when you are
not online. So let’s say you are on a plane with no web access, but it is also the
perfect opportunity to catch up with al of those emails you haven’t had a chance
to reply to. If you enable Gmail offline, it wil download the email to your computer,
so that you can reply to and read your email, or catch up on adding contacts and
when you go back online, those messages wil be sent and Gmail wil catch up to
everything you did while offline. You can even add attachments that wil be sent
when you are back online.
It even has a “flaky connection mode” which helps Gmail adjust to the internet
connection you have if it is unreliable and download the messages to your
computer as the connection comes and goes. That way, you don’t have to worry
that you wil lose the emails you have typed if you suddenly go offline. Gmail wil
catch itself up to the changes you made offline when the computer goes back
online.
To turn Offline on, click on the “create a desktop shortcut” and Gmail wil create an
icon on your desktop to make it easier for you to access it while offline. It’s almost
like having an email program instal ed on your computer but with the Gmail features
and with the knowledge that if your computer breaks, you stil have all of your emails
and contacts safely stored with Google.

The Fun Stuff
Gmail is not just about work though. The folks at Google have added a few features
to ensure we can also have some fun while emailing. To access any of the settings
for the features below, click on “Settings” on the upper right hand corner of your
email.

Buzz

Buzz is basical y Gmail’s response to Facebook and Twitter. It is meant to work as a
social network that you opt into if you want to use it. It is not active on your account
by default. You can follow people on your email list and be followed, see their status
updates and post pictures and video to share with each other. You can also use it to
import your stuff from Twitter, Picasa, Flickr, and Google Reader. And share them
with your friends and contacts.
You can learn more about some of the Buzz features by watching the short video at:
http://www.google.com/buzz

Buzz can be enabled and disabled by going to “Settings > Buzz”. You can choose to
show it on Gmail, whether to make your Buzz contact lists public, or whether to
enable or disable it completely.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL


Chat

The chat is a quick way to communicate with friends when emailing doesn’t seem to
be the best way to do it and you only need some quick and instant back and forth.
It can only be used between Gmail users and even then, only between those who
have accepted and opted in to accept chats, but that is stil a surprisingly large
number of Gmail users.
Al you have to do to chat with someone is look for their name on the chat box on
the left hand side of the screen. Check if they are online, which you can tel by
looking for a smal green dot next to their name. Double click on their name and a
little chat window wil appear. Start typing your message and click send (or enter).
They wil hear a little warning and a small window wil appear that allows them to
read your message and type back. In case they log off while you are typing, you wil
be told they are now offline and be given an option to send the chat as an email
instead, which they wil receive when they get back online. You can also sign into
AIM by using the same interface and chat with your AIM friends as well.

Web Clips

When Gmail was just launched, there were certain concerns that Gmail would be
mining information from the emails to post ads that were relevant to you. The truth is
that there is an algorithm that determines what ads would be most relevant
depending on key words from the emails, but no private information is ever sent to
Google. Another way to control what you see on top of your inbox and related ads
is by using “Web Clips”, which can be found under “Settings > Webclips”. It is
basical y a way to control what you want to see displayed above your inbox. You
can choose among hundreds of feeds, custom content from major sites such as
CNN, Forbes, YouTube, news and yes, even ads. And if you prefer, you can even
disable them al together.

Labs

Labs adds a whole new dimension to your email experience, which makes you an
active participant on the development of your email features. What Google has
created with Labs, is a way of testing features they are considering implementing on
their email, as wel as trying some of the total y wacky, but sometimes surprisingly
useful add-ons Google created for their email.
Because many of those features are being tested, some of the features come and
go, but they are certainly worth a try anyway. Some of the current Lab add-ons
include:

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GMAIL



 Don’t forget Bob – A feature that reminds you to include someone you might
have forgotten if you generally email them together. So if you usual y send
emails about cake recipes to 3 of your aunts, and one day you only add 2 of
them to your recipients, it wil ask you before you send it if you might have
forgotten the 3rd one.

 Got the wrong Bob? – Is a feature that checks that same list to ensure you
added the correct aunts. Let’s say, one aunt named Mare Claire and she
loves cake, and the other is named Marie Claise and she is always on a diet
and gets personal y offended if you email her about food, Gmail wil let you
know if you accidental y include the wrong one just in time to save you from
the blunder.

 Undo Send – Once enabled, this amazing Lab add-on that allows to basically
“unsend” a message you have just sent. Made a mistake? Forgot something?
Wish you hadn’t sent it right after you clicked the button? No worries, just click
the undo right next to the message that says your email has been sent, and
Gmail wil revert it to your account compose mode as if you had never
clicked send.

 Default Text Styling – Which adds a feature to your general settings that let’s
you choose a default text style for al of your emails.

 Mail Goggles – It’s a fun and sometimes annoying little add on that forces you
to solve simple math problems if you are sending an email late night on the
weekends. The idea is that you might be sending an email you might regret
the next morning after a crazy night of partying. The math is a way of testing if
you stil have enough of your mental capacity to be aware of the email you
are sending.

There are many more Labs features to check out. Some are great work tools, such as
integration to Google Docs and Google Voice, others are simply games, or ways to
keep you from working too hard, so check them all out!

Remember, if you instal an Lab feature and Gmail stops working, you can remove
them all by going to https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0

Themes

Now, for some people, the Gmail look is dul and boring. Fear not… If the standard
Gmail interface is too tame for you, Google has thought of people just like you and
added “Themes” to Gmail. Basically it al ows you to choose from several looks.
From a warm colored “Sunset”:




To the cutesy Zoozimps, which changes depending on your zip code:

To change your themes, simply go to “Settings> Themes”, and click on the one you
like. Some themes wil ask you for your zip code, type it in, then click save. And
watch your email change right before your eyes.

Gmail Mobile

There are many ways to integrate Gmail into your phone, be it an Android phone,
another smartphone or a simple Java capable phone.
You can download a simple bookmark to connect you to the mobile version of
Gmail by going to http://www.google.com.au/mobile/mail/. From that page you
can even have Google send you the link to your phone via text message.
