Gmail has a number of powerful built-in features that allow you to do amazing things with your emails.  Several of these features are overlooked by teachers and educators. We know this from the feedback we get each time we share a post about Gmail. Today, we are drawing your attention to this collection of tips you need to know about to make the best of your Gmail experience.

Since its debut in 2004, Gmail has had the most popular email service on the planet, with a staggering 1.5 billion users worldwide. It’s one of the most versatile and useful email platforms out there. Besides its built-in features, it also supports rich customization via a wide range of plugins. That, combined with its powerful search features and the fact that Gmail is free—well, it’s little wonder that over a third of the world’s four billion internet users use it for their email needs.

When was the last time you were lost on your smartphone? Because for me, it was just this morning. Whether on Facebook, Twitter, or email itself, I end up tapping something that takes me to a web page stuck inside an app, and I’m left scratching my head, wait, aren’t I just on the web? What app am I in again?

Oh, email. Whether you’re managing a few people, a large team, or just yourself, it can both help and hinder your success. Because, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, the more people you collaborate with, the more messages build up, and the more challenging it is to get through them in the five minutes you have between back-to-back meetings.
