A couple weeks ago, Gmail marketing manager Bill Kee listed five little-known Gmail features. Now he’s back with five more, including this little gem:
Conversation update notification It can be really annoying to write up a whole response to an email and click send — only to discover that someone else has already responded. Gmail has a little feature that helps solve this problem. When you’re replying to (or reading) a conversation, and someone else replies, a small notification window pops up to let you know. I sometimes think of it as the “prevent embarrassment” notification. Plus, it can save a lot of time by avoiding the series of follow-up emails needed to clear up the confusion.
Other tips include using Gmail’s smart links, getting better search results, and creating Google Calendar events from within Gmail (see screenshot). If you’ve got a favorite Gmail tip, trick, or feature to crow about, click the Comments link at the top of this post. Let’s hear from you!
