Gmail Tips
Gmail has many features that allow you to be more productive when using the webmail service. These tips can save you from other research and quickly find important messages and create canned responses.

Many of the features that are described in this post requires that you activate the "Labs" section.

Enable Quick Links: This feature allows you to create quick links that allow you to open with one click your important email. I use it mostly to save messages that contain information about a journey, access to my web server and display the unread messages. When you want to delete a quick link, simply click the X that appears to the right of the link.
Save your searches: do a search and click on "Quick Links" to save it. So you can quickly return recurring searches.

Hide read labels : on Gmail labels are somehow workbooks. There is a feature that allows you to display only the labels containing new messages. As soon as you read the new messages associated with a label, it will be automatically hidden. To enable this feature, go to the Labs section and select "Hide read labels."

Create a document from a mail: Gmail allows you to transform a message document. When you read a message, select "Create a document". Immediately, your email will be imported into a new Google Docs document.
