How Google Mail Is Different – Tips for Getting Started

Here are some key features that make Google Mail (Gmail) different from previous email programs you’ve used. It does let you do most of the same things you could with other applications. It also has some powerful new features, and a few things work differently than what you're used to. Here are some tips for getting started.
 
1.      Email conversations instead of multiple messages
2.      Labels and stars instead of folders
3.      Archiving online instead of saving to your desktop
4.      Google-powered search
 

 
1.      Email conversations instead of multiple messages
Rather than listing each message reply as a new message in your Inbox, Gmail groups a message and its replies in a conversation, which is listed only once. Opening a conversation shows all its messages in a neat stack, which you can easily collapse or expand. When a new reply arrives, the stack grows and the conversation is marked as unread, indicating there’s something new to look at. Grouping messages this way allows you to quickly retrieve all messages within a thread and reduces inbox clutter.
 Here's how a conversation appears in your Inbox...
 
  ...and here's what an opened conversation looks like:
 
 

 
2.      Labels and stars instead of folders
Instead of organizing messages in folders, you can organize your Gmail conversations by applying labels. The conversation can remain in your Inbox with the label clearly shown. Here's an example:
As shown in the example, if a conversation applies to more than one topic, you can give it multiple labels.
 
If you'd like to move a labeled conversation out of your Inbox, just click the Archive button. Whether or not a labeled conversation is archived, you can list all conversations that have a specific label by clicking the label name in the left pane of your Inbox -- similar to opening a folder of messages:
Unlike with folders, if you've applied more than one label to a message, you can retrieve the message by clicking any of those labels.
 
The Stars feature provides another way to categorize and access messages. Simply click the star icon to the left of any message to highlight it. You can then display all starred messages by clicking Starred in the left pane.
 
 

 
3.      Archiving online instead of saving to your desktop
With Gmail, you no longer risk running out of space for storing email. Instead, you get 7 GB of online storage space for just your own email and attachments, all hosted on secure servers. With that much space, you no longer need to save messages on your desktop in Archives to free up disk space, but can archive messages online instead. Just select a message and click Archive:
An archived message is removed from your Inbox but you can still find it later by clicking All Mail in the left pane or using search. Or, add labels to messages before you archive them for even easier retrieval.
Tip: Your All Mail link might be under the drop-down list in the left pane:
 
 

 
4.  Google-powered search
 
Gmail features the same powerful search technology used on the Web to perform accurate keyword searches of all of your email and attachments. Search by keyword, label, date range, or a host of other options. By also archiving messages, you can instantly find any message you've ever sent or received, without having to create elaborate folder structures or keep unwanted correspondence in your Inbox.
 
To find messages, simply type in the search box at the top of your Mail window. Or, for more refined searching, click Show search options:
Then fill in the easy-to-use search form to find exactly what you're looking for!
