Title: GMail Post by: Khushi on January 03, 2007, 02:03:54 PM Google s GMail
================================ Google introduced its new gmail just like Yahoo and now presently it is in Beta stage.I am using gmail and found many new things which make email easier and I will share with you now. ========================================================= A new view of your inbox The old way =========== When you read a message, you have to rely on your memory to recall what was said in previous emails about the same subject. The Gmail way ============= Each message you send is grouped with all the responses you receive. Grouping related messages creates meaningful conversations. When you open a message in a conversation, all of your messages will be stacked neatly on top of each other, like a deck of cards. We call this Conversation View. As new replies arrive, your stack of cards grows. Grouping messages this way allows you to quickly retrieve related messages. ========================================================= A more flexible filing system The old way =========== You create an elaborate filing system of folders and subfolders, then decide where to file a single message. The Gmail way ============= Instead of folders, Gmail uses labels to give you the functionality of folders, but with more flexibility. In Gmail, a single conversation can have several labels, so you re not forced to choose one particular folder for each message you receive. That way, if a conversation covers more than one topic, you can retrieve it with any of the labels that you ve applied to it. And, of course, you can always search for it. ===================================================== Don t waste time deleting messages The old way =========== You have to delete messages on a regular basis so that you don t run out of storage space. The Gmail way ============= With 1,000 megabytes of storage, the typical user can go for years without deleting a single message. You never know when you might need a message again, but with traditional webmail services, you delete it and it s gone forever. With Gmail, you can easily archive your messages instead, so they ll still be accessible when you need them. If you decide you no longer want a message in your Inbox, just hit the Archive button and the message will still be available in All Mail or through a search. ======================================================== An easy way to see all your messages at once The old way =========== You only have a few options for managing messages: file them, delete them, print them, or leave them in your Inbox. The Gmail way ============= Gmail simplifies this process by placing your messages in All Mail when you use the archive function. All Mail is the holding place for all of the messages you ve sent or received, but not deleted. When you delete a message, it s gone forever. With Gmail, you have enough storage space to last for years without deleting a single message. Just archive everything and all your messages will be searchable and easily accessible. Search that actually works The old way =========== You dig through your folders or search, but still can t find messages that you know are in your email. The Gmail way ============= You have a variety of search options that return speedy, accurate results. Gmail features built-in Google search, and as with Google s keyword-based web search, Gmail returns fast, accurate results. As long as you archive instead of delete, you ll be able to find any message you ve ever sent or received. Having reliable search also eliminates the need to create elaborate folder structures. Now you can just stick a label (or two or three) on a conversation and search by label, keyword, date range or a host of other options. These are some of the advantages of GMail. |
