5 unknown Gmail tricks that increase your productivity

This free Gmail Guide is for those who already use Gmail and want to take full advantage of its many productivity features.

1. Unlimited unique email addresses.

You just put a PLUS after your name. A + after your alias and some text to make rules for automatically marking your emails. [alias]+[whatever].com

For example, if you use the email address mohamed+newsletter@groove-digital.com, all messages sent to that address will be automatically tagged with the 'newsletter' label. You can use this trick to create rules for organizing your emails and making it easier to find them later. Just be sure to use a different text for each rule you create. You can also add a '.' wherever you want to further customize your email address.

2. Inbox filtering and organization

Are you tired of sifting through a cluttered inbox? Try using labels to filter and organize your Gmail messages. Labels are like little tags that you can attach to your emails to help you find and sort them more efficiently. For example, if you get a lot of emails about work, you can create a "Work" label and apply it to all your work-related emails. This way, you can easily locate all your work emails by clicking on the "Work" label.<br><br>In addition to manually labeling your emails, you can also set up rules to automatically categorize messages based on certain criteria. For example, you can create a rule that automatically assigns a "Newsletters" label to any email with the word "newsletter" in the subject line. This can save you even more time by eliminating the need to manually label emails. So don't let a cluttered inbox slow you down – start using labels to streamline your email organization today.
