Gmail NEW COMPOSE

Enhances Buying/Selling Homes in Buckhead Atlanta GA

 

Why would someone think that an email format change would enhance Buying/Selling homes in Buckhead Atlanta GA? For one reason, the new format makes finishing an email easier. Easier equals faster in my book since communication eats up a lot of time during each of our days.

 

Hopefully, each of us spends time on what matters in our personal lives and in our business.Any time saving allows us to be more involved with our families. For me, that is the most important focus that I have. I love effective shortcuts and Gmail NEW COMPOSE will enhance my Clients chances for Buying/Selling homes in Buckhead Atlanta GA.

 

clock with large hands Thanks to the amazing web options we have, we can be more effective using time in our work.By streamlining the email process, Gmail allows us to fit in one or two extra notes to our wonderful Clients. Then we are enhancing our work of Buying/Selling homes in Buckhead Atlanta GA and optimizing the time spent doing so.

 

Using Gmail, I may receive emails sent to several different addresses in one location. Gmail settings allow you to reply from the address where the email was addressed without leaving the Gmail screen.

 

In addition to the Gmail NEW COMPOSE, Google offers other features to save us time. Some are openly visible and some are in a section called LABS.  In some of my posts from last year, you will find explanations of other Gmail features that save time. Lab features from UNDO SEND to SENDER TIME ZONE to MULTIPLE INBOXES to INSERTING IMAGES  and more are the stars of these four posts.

 

Time - our most precious gift - time well used brings joy to our work and gives us more time with our families.

 

Have a happy day -
Lynn

Gmail's new compose and reply experience

You can now write messages in a cleaner, simpler experience that puts the focus on your message itself, not all the features around it. Here are some of the highlights:

 

  • Fast: Compose messages right from your inbox.

  • Simple: Redesigned with a clean, streamlined look.

  • Powerful: Check emails as you're typing, minimize drafts for later, and even compose two messages at once.   ...

Details of the compose window

Instead of taking up your entire Gmail window, clicking Compose now opens a smaller window at the bottom of your screen. Here are some of the features that you'll see:

 

  • Recipients: Click this text field to type email addresses. You can also click the Cc or Bcc links to add a new set of recipients. Drag and drop recipients from one field to another, or click the "x" to remove them from your message. Hover over the recipient to see details about them, or double-click on them to edit their address.

  • Text formatting: Click [the new A] icon to add formatting like font size, bold, underline, and bullets. Or, use our new formatting keyboard shortcuts. Hover over each button to learn the keyboard shortcut you can use for that option. Alignment and indentation options are now collapsed under the alignment icon.

  • Attachments: Click the Attachment icon to attach files to your message. Hovering over the Attachment icon will also open the insert options menu.

  • Insert options: Hover over the plus icon to embed photos, links, emoticons, and Google Calendar events. This menu will also open when hovering over the Attachment icon.

  • Discard: Click the trash can icon to delete your draft.

  • More options: Click [the down arrow] menu to see other tools such as spell check, plain text format, print, adding labels, and including original attachments.

  • Window size: The writing pane grows as your message gets longer. If you want the window to be bigger, click the middle icon at the top right of the pane to open the message in a new window. Use the other icons to minimize or close the window (which will also save your draft).

  • Saving: Gmail automatically saves your drafts while you’re writing, so we've removed the "Save now" button (but you can verify that it’s saved if you see the word, "Saved" next to the Discard button). Your draft will also be automatically saved when you close the compose window.

  • Send mail as: If you use Gmail to send mail from another address (like your work address), click the address in the "From" field to choose a different address. If you don't see the "From" field, first click into the "Recipients" field at the top of the compose window.

Changes when replying or forwarding

You’ll also see some differences when replying to or forwarding messages. Most of the changes are similar to those that you'll see when composing a brand new message. Here are a few additional changes:

 

  • Recipients: To change who your message should be sent to, click into the recipient field when you’re replying.

  • Type of response: Click the arrow next to the recipient’s name to choose whether your message is a reply, reply all, or forward.

  • Subject: To change the subject of your message, click the arrow next to the recipient’s name and click Edit subject.

  • Pop out reply: To write your reply in a compose window, click the arrow next to the recipient’s name and click Pop out reply .

  • Respond inline: If you want to see the previous message within your reply, scroll down until you see the "Show trimmed content" icon and click it.

Until the change is fully launched, you'll be able to choose whether you use the new or current experience.  If you change your mind, you can switch back to the old experience at any time.

Try it out!

Once you click the Compose button, click the "new compose experience" link right next to the Labels button at the top of the message. Here's how:

 

  1. Click Compose

  2. At the bottom corner of the message pane, click the More menu icon [ + ] next to the Discard button.

  3. Select "Temporarily switch back to old compose."

This sounds interesting. I've had gmail for a long time but don't often use it. It sounds like I may need to take a new look at these new changes.
