According to the Official Gmail blog:

In the short time the app was public we received a lot of helpful feedback and feature requests. This included requests for everything from bigger features like multiple account support to customizations like improved notifications and mobile specific signatures.

We’re just getting started with the Gmail app for iOS and will be iterating rapidly to bring you more features, including all the ones listed above plus many more. Based on your comments we have already improved our handling of image HTML messages – they are now sized to fit to the screen and you can pinch to zoom in.

Key Features:

  • Receive notification badges for new messages
  • Read your mail with threaded conversations
  • Organize your mail by archiving, labelling, starring, deleting, and reporting spam
  • Keep track of important messages with priority inbox
  • Auto-complete contact names as you type
  • Send and receive attachments
  • Search through all your mail

Note: If you already have the Gmail app 1.0.1 released on 2 Nov, you will need to uninstall or log out of the old app prior to installing the new app.

The new inbox style tab has now been turned on for almost everyone, and is also available on the new Gmail look. This new style adds 5 different Inbox tabs at the top of your inbox. Indicated as – “Try on a new inbox: Classic, Important first, Unread first, Starred first, Priority Inbox”.

If you’ve already saw this new inbox style then you must have noticed that the ‘Inbox-style tabs toolbar’ disappears from your Gmail interface after a while. Well that’s not a magic but smarty Gmail that removes those tabs bar, after watching you settled on a particular favorite style for about a week. However, one can easily change the inbox style from the drop-down menu next to the Inbox label or from Settings (Inbox).

Fortunately, there is a way to easily restore the Inbox tabs toolbar in Gmail if it has vanished automatically or you closed it using the cross(x) button. To get it back, just hover your cursor over the Inbox tab in left sidebar and click on the drop down menu. Then point at Inbox Type and click the ‘Try the tabs again’ option. That’s it.

Note: Apparently, Gmail has one stupid limitation which prevents you from getting the inbox-style tab bar again. What happens is, if you close the tabs bar twice then Gmail assumes that you don’t need it. Hence, on closing the inbox tabs bar for second time, the Try the tabs again option wont appear anymore and you cant get it.

Now you can access all these 3 important services without Internet while travelling in a plane, train or hills.

Gmail Offline is a Chrome Web Store app that’s intended for situations when you need to read, respond to, organize and archive email without an internet connection. This HTML5-powered app is based on the Gmail web app for tablets, which was built to function with or without web access. After you install the Gmail Offline app from the Chrome Web Store, you can continue using Gmail when you lose your connection by clicking the Gmail Offline icon on Chrome’s “new tab” page.

Gmail offline is now available, just install the extension ‘Offline Google Mail’ to get it on Chrome. The offline Google Calendar and Google Docs will be rolling out over the next week, starting today. To use Calendar or Docs offline, just click the gear icon at the top right corner of the web app and select the option for offline access.

The Gmail Offline app, currently in beta provides offline access, allows you to read, respond, search and archive mails when you’re offline. The app has a cool and streamlined user interface, offering extremely fast access to emails and other options. After first start-up, Gmail Offline will automatically synchronize messages and queued actions anytime Chrome is running and an Internet connection is available. You can switch between different accounts if you’ve added multiple Gmail accounts.

For your protection, make sure not to install Gmail Offline for Chrome on a public or shared computer.

To remove offline data from your browser’s storage, just follow the below steps:

1. Type chrome://settings/cookies into address bar and press enter
2. Search for mail.google.com
3. Hover over the search results and click the ‘X’  to delete them

After using Google Plus the entire day, I posted an article “20 Google+ Tips to Enhance Your Google Plus Experience” which comprises some very useful tips.

There is another crucial Google+ Tip that I forget to add in above post and so sharing it now as a separate post. Google+ includes an Email feature too but it’s disabled by default. So, one needs to enable the “Send an Email” feature if they want to Allow people to email them from a link on their profile. You can choose to allow: Anyone from the web, Extended circles, Your circles or a group of persons using the Custom option.

To activate Email in Google+, just open your Google+ profile and click on Edit Profile. Then tap the ‘Send an email’ option present just below your profile badge. Tick mark the box and select all those whom you like to stay in touch with you via Google+ Email.

email_googleplus

After clicking Save, you will notice that ‘Send an email’ option has been enabled.

One good thing is that your actual email address remains hidden from the sender. Also, if you email anyone then Google sends a copy of it at your Gmail email address too. :)

Users also receive an email if someone retweets or favorites one of their Tweets. This is a good measure to keep users updated as most don’t know who retweeted their tweets. However, if you’re a power twitter user who gets several replies/mentions in a day then you many find the incoming emails pretty annoying and they’ll clutter up your inbox.

You can easily overcome this by changing your email preferences in the notifications section of twitter settings page. To Turnoff or Block emails for replies and @mentions from twitter, just go to Settings > Notifications. Uncheck the option “I’m sent a reply or mentioned” and any other you desire to disable. Click the Save button, that’s it!

According to twitter:

You will not necessarily receive an email for every retweet, reply, or favorite; for now we will only email you when we think it is most relevant. Note that every email contains a link to unsubscribe from that particular type of notification.

There are many great and useful features that power Gmail, here is another one which I got to know just now.

If you mention something like “I’ve attached or I have attached” when composing an email and somehow didn’t remember to add the attachment, then Gmail will instantly remind you that no files are attached as you click the ‘Send’ button to send your email.

This is really a very nice feature which will not lead to send an inaccurate email. ;)
