Hidden Labels in Gmail

Posted by admin On October - 6 - 2009

search-gmail-using-labels

If you enable saving your chat history in Gmail, your conversations from Google Talk are saved as standard emails. To make them stand out from the rest of messages, Gmail adds two labels: chat and chats.

If you want to search your chats, you just have to add label:chat to your query. If you want to search only your mail, exclude the chats by adding -label:chat.

Gmail has many other hidden labels that can make your life easier, so you don’t have to use the advanced search:

* label:inbox – search only your Inbox. It’s a good idea to keep your Inbox clean.

* label:star (label:starred) – search only your starred messages. You can use the star button like a bookmarking system. Star only important messages.

* label:draft (or label:drafts) – search only unfinished messages. Drafts could be used for storing notes or emails that must be sent later.

* label:sent (or label:sentmail, label:sent-mail, label:sent mail ) – search only sent mail. It may be useful to restrict your search only to messages you’ve sent, or only to messages you’ve received if you add a minus.

* label:all (or label:allmail, label:all-mail, label:all mail ) – search all your mail, including messages from Trash (label:trash) and Spam (label:spam).

* label:read and label:unread. Restrict your search only to read mail or unread mail. For example, to find all your sent messages that have unread replies, you can search for label:unread label:sent.

It’s nice that you can combine all these labels with user-defined labels in a query. To show results that have both label A and label B, just search for label:A label:B. To show results that have one of the labels A and B or both, just search for label:A OR label:B.

Update: Instead of label:A, you can just type l:A.

Use Gmail as your Hard disk drive

Posted by soniya On October - 4 - 2009

In this article, i am gonna show you how you can make use of search engine giant “Google” as a Hard disk drive where you can store you data without worrying about uploading single file at a time.

Downloading and installing GMail drive – make your online drive of your Gmail account
I’ve been in love with GMail Drive since the day I installed it and it is one application that I use daily. The program is written in Python is less than 200KB. It can be downloaded from the Softpedia.com. Click on the link and then select a mirror site for downloading GMail Drive installer zip file- check image below.

download_gmail_drive_from_softpedia

gmail_drive_setup_fileOnce you have the installed zip file, extract it to a temporary directory and run the “Setup” file by double clicking on it.

The GMail Drive application installs on your system quickly and you should soon see the confirmation message with the copyright notice. Close this window.

Now open Windows Explorer and go to My Computer. You’ll find GMail Drive under “Other” in the folder listing on the left (if you have it turned on) – refer image below.

Before you can start transferring files to your Gmail account, you need to provide the login details to GMail Drive application. Click on “GMail Drive” in Windows Explorer OR try to drag-n-drop a test file from a local directory to the online drive. The program will display a login window. Clicking on the “More” button will show you additional options for logging to your Gmail account via the GMail Drive application – refer image below.

Using your online hard drive folder – your Gmail account

To use your Gmail account to store files, simply drag files from your computer and drop them on the “GMail Drive” folder you see in Windows Explorer. You’ll get a dialog box similar to one below. Depending on your internet connection speeds and the file size, the time taken to transfer the file from your local system to the online Gmail account will vary. You can use the same drag-n-drop functionality to download files from your Gmail account.

Here are two files that I’ve uploaded to my Gmail account.

files_uploaded_gmail_account_online_drive

Once your files have been uploaded, click on GMail Drive folder to confirm. The uploaded files arrive as email messages with the subject GMAILFS: /[THE-FILE_NAME]

Final Note: As per the developer, GMail drive is an “experimental tool” but it works like a charm. Changes in the Gmail system may make the application non-functional in which case, the developer releases an updated version which you need to use.

Easy to Switch from Yahoo Mail to Gmail

Posted by admin On October - 4 - 2009

If you like to abandon your Yahoo Mail account in favor of Gmail, here’s some good news. You can now move / copy all your old contacts and email messages from the Yahoo! inbox to your new Gmail address without having to worry about complex IMAP or POP3 configuration.

emailmigration-300x185

Gmail now offers a new import mails option under Settings -> Accounts and Import. Enter the username and password of Yahoo Mail account and all the messages will be copied to your Gmail account in the next few hours. Once the migration is over, any incoming email on your old Yahoo address will be auto-forward to your Gmail account for another month.

The reason why I stressed Yahoo! Mail here is because it was the only web email service that required users to upgrade to Mail! Plus for them to move their data out to another email provider. That however changed with today’s announcement on the Gmail blog.

The Import function is currently available in new Gmail accounts only (not Google Apps) but it will soon be available for all so if you are in a hurry, just set up another Gmail account and use Mail Fetcher to copy Yahoo mails from this new address to your old Gmail account.

Posted by admin On October - 3 - 2009

There are so many sites offering email with unlimited features, offcourse one of the best one is Gmail.

They asked us to change our password frequently and we do it, But its not possible to remember everything in this busy airtight life..Now, of course, you remember the password you had last week, and even last month’s. But the current Gmail password? Who knows?

Gmail knows. But it won’t tell you.

To reset your forgotten Gmail password:

•Make sure you either
•have a secondary email address specified for your Gmail account or
•you have not logged into your Gmail account for 5 days.
•Follow the I cannot access my account link from the Gmail log-in page.
•Click I’ve forgotten my password.
•Type your Gmail user name (what precedes “@gmail.com” in your Gmail address) under Username:.
•Click Submit.
•Type the letters in the captcha into the field beneath the image.
•Click Submit.
•Depending on whether you have a secondary email address specified or not,
•open the Google Password Assistance message in your secondary email account and follow the password reset link in it or
•type the answer to your security question and click Submit.
•Enter the desired new password under both New password: and Re-enter password.
•Click Reset password.

If you have used your Gmail account in the past five days but have not specified a secondary email address, you’ll have to wait for these five days to pass.

No Secondary Address and Your Answer to the Security Question Does not Work?

Are you unable to reset your Gmail password, either through a secondary address or by answering your security question?

•Make sure you are trying to access the right account.
•Check the account name for misspellings.
•Does the security question sound familiar?
Contact Google with as many details that allow them to identify you as the account holder as possible.
•Do not include what you presume to be the password, though.

Somebody Hacked Your Gmail Account?
If you believe somebody has hacked into your Gmail account — because you do not get the password reset email at the secondary address you specified but the five days never pass while you cannot log in to your account, for example —, you can contact Gmail using this structured form.
