Over time, Gmail's features have increased considerably as it has grown in popularity.
Something normal, on the other hand, if we consider that the
famous Google mail client is one of the most used in the world.
However, there are many who do not know its full potential
beyond what they may know to create an account in gmail or send emails.
For this motive, in this post we will reveal some of the
most curious and possibly unknown Gmail functions for many.
Curious and surprising Gmail functions
Few email clients have as many functions as Gmail, some so
surprising that some call them tricks and the truth is that some seem like
magic. Let's see what they are:
1. Schedule mailing
Of all the functions of Gmail, this is possibly one of the
most useful, since it allows you to plan the sending of emails in advance.
Simply press the arrow on the send button and you can
schedule the message to be sent on the date and time that suits you best.
With this function you can continue sending emails even
while you sleep, which can be very useful.
2. Send in confidential mode
As if it were a spy game, Gmail also allows you to program
the self-destruction of an email after a certain time.
This is very useful when you want the recipient to be unable
to save, download or forward the mail.
You just have to click on the icon that looks like a padlock
with a small clock that is located at the bottom right of the send button.
You can even set a secret code to open it, which will be
sent by SMS or email only to the recipient.
3. Use other email accounts in Gmail
Gmail also allows you to integrate several emails in the
same account, so that it is possible to send emails with different addresses
using the same inbox.
To do this, simply go to the "Send as" section
found in the "Accounts and Import" tab of the configuration menu.
Once there, click on "Add another email address"
and you can add as many addresses as you want.
4. Smart writing
Also known as predictive text, smart writing can complete
your sentences as you type to make your writing faster.
Predictive text is certainly not a very new invention, but
Google has given it another turn so that it even learns your way of writing and
imitates it better.
The “Smart Compose” option is found in the “General” section
of the configuration menu. To activate it, simply click on "Activate
writing suggestions".
5. Cancel sent emails
Finally, a function that is found with the naked eye and not
everyone knows that it exists. This is the possibility of canceling the emails
sent so that they do not reach their destination.
You just have to press the "Undo" option that
appears immediately on the screen when you send an email, next to the
"Message sent" notice.
Of course, you will only have a maximum period of 30 seconds
to be able to repent and use this option.
This is just a small sample of the many possibilities that
Gmail offers, but the popular email client has many other functions that can be
of great help. If you know any you can share it in the comments.
