Five great gadgets for your Gmail
account
All computer users - Gmail account
Offline -
Make a desktop email
client to access your Gmail account. Synchronizes your messages between
your hard drive and Google - allowing you to work in Gmail even if your
offline. If your online you can access your Gmail normally or using the
Offline Gadget. This gadget basically turns Gmail into a desktop
email client you can access from a link on your start menu. Google says ..."Make Gmail go where the
Internet doesn't. Access your inbox through your browser and use Gmail's
familiar features when you're offline. To get started, enable this lab
and then click on the "Offline" link in the upper-right of your inbox."
Google Docs previews in mail -
Lots
of folks are using Google Docs instead of Microsoft Office these days.
It's free. It's a cloud-based application, but alas we're in the age of
the cloud. Anyway, you can send spreadsheets, documents, and
presentations (ala PowerPoint) and preview them directly in email.
Quick Links - Adds a box to the left column that gives you
1-click access to any bookmarkable URL in Gmail. You can use it for
saving frequent searches, important individual messages, and more.
Sender Time Zone -
Shows the time
zone of the sender. Should I reply to this mail or just call the
guy? Ooops… it's 1 am. Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb…
Undo Send --
Why you dirty
so-and-so! Wait. I have a bad temper. I wish I wouldn't have sent that.
Ever done that? Now you have a chance to take it back! Hit "Send" too
soon? Stop messages from being sent for a few seconds after hitting the
send button.
All of the above gadgets can be enabled in
your Gmail account by clicking the Google Labs icon (the green flask) at
the very top of your Gmail account page.
Login to your Gmail account and enable these or any of the other
gadgets. There's a lot more nifty gadgets than these five! These are
just some of our favorite ones.
If you're one of the few who still doesn't
have a Gmail account, you can get one
free right here. If you're using Yahoo Mail or Hotmail (Live), Gmail
is quite different. It takes some getting used to. We like it much
better. We think you will too.
