  3. Click on the 3 vertical dots in the top-right corner of the email.
  4. Select “Undo” from the drop-down menu.

Edit your email in draft folder before sending it again. Ensure “undo send” is enabled in your settings before using this features: Setting> General>Enable Undo send (with delay of 10/20/30 seconds).

3. Send a confidential email:

  1. Open Gmail
  2. Click “Compose”
  3. Enter recipient, subject, and content.
  4. Next to the “Send” button, click on the lock icon.
  5. Set an expiration date and passcode for the recipient to open it.
  6. Click on the “Send” button to send the email.

4. Send your email later:

  2. Now you can do exactly that:
  3. Click the down arrow next to ‘send’
  4. Choose ‘schedule send’
  5. Pick the date + time you want

Sit back + relax.

5. Prepare your replies

Sick of typing out the same replies again + again?

You don’t have to.

  1. Enable first in Setting> Advanced > Enable templates
  2. Draft your email
  3. Click the 3 dots
  4. Save as template

Next time, use the template to save yourself time.

6. Snooze an email

Have an email that you don’t need to deal with now?

Set a reminder for later:

  1. Click on the clock icon on the right
  2. Click how long you want to snooze the email

It’ll appear back  in your inbox on that date.

7. Ignore those annoying conversations:

In an email thread where everyone keeps using reply all?

Mute it to stop it distracting you:

  1. Open  the email
  2. Click the 3 dots at the top
  3. Click mute

Future replies will be archive (but you can still find them if needed).
