    Fwiw, in 2021, someone took your advice (or it's a coincidence) and moved _Smart Compose_ &
    _Smart Compose Personalization_ together, in the right order, exactly the same way you described it in this video.

    @judykahn3870 Před 4 lety +8

    It's great to know more about Gmail! However, I'm wondering why many of my emails have landed in Important when I have done nothing (to my knowledge) to make that choice. How can I stop it? Sometimes I can't find an email in my inbox, so I have to search in Important or All Mail to find it. Maybe I don't understand the interaction among All Mail, Inbox, and Important?

    Very good info, Scott, thanks!
    On the top of the new emails there is a number of emails and next to it is a < > to move back and forth from the newer to the older emails. Suddenly my < and > have been replaced by huge numbers. I have unsuccessfully tried to get the < and > back. How does that work?

    Thank You. At one time I used an automatic delete when certain senders came up such as an irritating message which is being sent repeatedly, Gmail will delete the message in that email and save you the trouble of having to delete it later.

    Solid tips as usual Scott, going to give send and archive a try. Something I noticed from my own use. Nudges do not work without conversation view on. (Perhaps different in personal gmail I use gsuite) I personally don't like conversation view so I miss out on nudges.

Can you shed any light on this? Thanks

    Thanks for the great video Scott!
    I did turn on the short keys on. So I can go my email with just my keyboard. It's so much faster.
    I also turn on the option go to the next email. So when I archive a email I don't return to inbox, but go immediately to the next email.

    • @marcelkuster9537
      @marcelkuster9537 Před 4 lety +3

      I just looked it up and it's called keyboard shortcuts. My apologies for the mix up.
      When enabled you can press a key for different actions. Some examples that I use :
      C: compose
      E: archive
      F: forward
      R: reply
      A: reply all
      L: label
      And many more. Shift +? shows all the shortcuts.
      You can customize them if you have a setting in Labs enabled.

The labels used to run down the left side of my emails, now they (the one's I can find ) run across the top of my emails. To bring these up I have to have at least one email box checked. Can you explain what happened. I had some important emails stored in these labels. Thank you very much.

I'm sure I must be missing a toolbar, but have no idea how to get it back. The help icon does nothing, does not open up any boxes, etc. I's just a "dumb" button on my Gmail.
    Can you help me? hank You.
