Extremely useful Gmail tips

I just can't get enough of the wonderful utilities of Gmail...This is in continuation of my last post on "custom from"...a few more excellent tips.

DAMN, I FORGOT TO ATTACH THAT DOC

No more fret about it. With this option enabled, Gmail will detect that you wanted to attach a doc but forgot to and it will prompt you to do so. Go to your Gmail account > labs and enable this feature as shown. It seems that this feature scans for words like “attachment”, “find attached” etc. to detect missing attachment. Simple but a lovely idea.

SECURE YOUR GMAIL ACCOUNT

Worried that someone else might be reading your emails from the cyber cafe you went to and forgot to log out from? No more. Gmail now providesSign out all other sessions facility. Scroll down to the bottom of Gmail page after login. Click on Details. You will get this pop up. You know what to do with this button now. Rest in peace.

GMAIL SIGNATURE IN REPLY-TO EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT

This is something new from the Gmail’s super creative team. With this option enabled, you need not cut-paste your signature from the bottom to just after your message. As soon as you click on reply, your signature will automatically appear on the very top. This is especially useful in long mail exchanges. This feature can be accessed on under the "labs" page on gmail

SHOO AWAY SPAMMERS

Gmail considers r.o.w@gmail.com the same as row@gmail.com. This can be an excellent way to find out your spam mail source. Bloggers submit their email ids to many places. With each submission there is a potential for email abuse. The way to get around this is: Instead of submitting your mail id like row@gmail.com, submit it as r.ow@gmail.com to one, asro.w@gmail.com to another, and so on. Set up filters in Gmail corresponding to each of the mail ids submitted by you. Now when you receive spam, you can identify its source based on the unique filter that has been set up for it.
