Using Google Apps
Add Stars to Messages
❱ You can mark a conversation or message that appears next to
the item in your inbox with a star. Stars can be an eye catching
way to mark a special message or even a great visual reminder to
follow up on an item later. Stars will only appear to you and not
to anyone else, so you won’t offend your friends by starring their
messages rather than reading them. To star a message from your
inbox, just click the Star icon next to the sender’s name. You can
also add a star when reading a message by clicking the icon on
the top right of the message.
Customise Display Density
❱ Gmail automatically adjusts
the amount or “density” of
information on a page when
you adjust your browser
window or when you use
different sized screens. If you
prefer a denser view whatever
size your monitor, you can
set a limit on your Default
Density. This setting reflects
the lowest density (the most
space) permitted for your
account. Choose how many
messages are on your screen
at a time by clicking on the
gear icon and then selecting
from Comfortable, Cosy
or Compact.Voice and Video Chat
❱ With Gmail, you can now use voice and video chat services such
as Google+. From within these services, you can have an actual
conversation with someone or even chat face-to-face over video.
To get started, download the voice and video chat plug-in from
http://www.google.com/chat/video, quit all open browser windows and
install the plug-in. Sign in to Gmail, Google+ or Chrome OS device.Gmail User Tips
