What happens when you delete or archive an email in your Gmail Inbox ? Gmail goes back to your inbox by default. This is not effective when you are reading and archiving/deleting multiple emails. Gmail labs now features Auto-Advance which makes the process more effective and interesting. It automatically advances to the next email in your inbox when you perform archive/delete operation without going back and forth between Inbox.

How to Enable Auto-Advance feature ?

Then choose the labs tab, scroll down to Auto Advance and click on the enable radio button. Now scroll down and click ‘Save Changes’ button. The browser will reload your inbox.

Now again go to the settings tabs, Under ‘General Tab’, you can find Auto Advance with options.You can configure it to go to next (newer) or previous (older) conversation, or go back to the thread list after the actions. Select your choice.

That’s it, you are more productive now. From next time, when you delete/archive an email. You will be navigated to the next email.

Gmail Old Version will be discontinued from September

Vasu — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 12:22:27 +0000

Three years back Google rolled out the new Gmail 2.0 interface, but they still provided a switch back link to older interface. You can find it in the footer of your inbox. It is because the new interface doesn’t work with Internet explorer 6. So, IE6 users are redirected to the older interface. Starting next month Google is going to discontinue the older interface and IE6 visitors will be redirected to ‘Basic HTML’ version which is used for the outdated browsers.

The following message is displayed if you log into the older interface.

You’re using an old version of Gmail which will be retired in September. At that point, you’ll be redirected to a basic HTML view. To get faster Gmail and the newest features, please upgrade to a modern browser,

If you are still using IE6, its time to upgrade your browser and experience the whole new Gmail interface which was updated.

Vasu — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 03:47:42 +0000

Google finally made easy to keep images while sending an email.Till now a HTML work-around was used to do the job. Google today rolled out a new feature called inserting images.The new feature called ‘Inserting Images’ in Gmail labs that lets you add images in message body. However, this is still in labs only.To enable this feature go to Settings > Gmail Labs and enable it from there. Once enabled, you will find an Insert Image option while composing a message as shown in the screenshot below.(Make sure you’re in rich formatting mode, or it won’t show up)

After Clicking Insert Image option, It will ask whether to add an image from computer or a web URL.Just give the location of the image.Once your image is uploaded, you can resize the image and position it by dragging it across your email.Since this is a labs edition feature, it is not enabled by default, you have to manually enable it by going to Gmail labs.

Note:

To protect you from spammers, Gmail doesn’t show URL-based images in messages by default.So if you are sending mail to other Gmail users, they will still have to click “Display images below” or “Always display images from …” to see images you embed.

Gmail has rolled out a new feature that will please many Indian Gmail users. Now Gmail supports five Indian languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

What it means ?

Well,you can send email in these 5 Indic languages from Gmail account. All Gmail account holders from India will have this feature turned ON by default. Other users can manually turn this feature ON from settings > Language.

This is not traditional machine language translation. Where you can translate into Hindi after writing in English.If you want to write something in Hindi make sure you know Hindi language. For example type Namaste as in English and hit spacebar – with Hindi option selected you will see नमस्ते ( Namaste written in Hindi language). Similarly, Namaskaram in Telugu and so on for other words.

Another great move by Google.Allowing to email in native language will definitely help in connecting more people.what do you say ?
