Hello and thank you for this valuable info. I am a 57 yr old man becoming a Digital Nomad. Not by my choice, but by necessity. Your channel is my Go-TO for all things Google and I can't thank you enough for making these videos available to everyone.

[@Simpletivity]

Steve, thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'm so glad that you are enjoying these videos and I wish you all the best as you continue your journey!

[@remcw]

Use smart tabs to sort the inbox - Priority, Social, Promotions and Update. It takes only a few days to teach the system how to assign incoming mail. Very helpful.

[@Simpletivity]

Thanks for sharing

[@peachie6560]

I dont like that feature. I turned it off.

[@jackieherigodt1555]

This is a great video! Is there a way to set that you always observe your oldest emails first instead of your new? I know that you can change your view to find your older emails but I would rather have the old ones on top? Thanks!

[@steerintrudge]

Your videos are extremely helpful! Thank you!

[@Simpletivity]

You are very welcome, Carly. I'm so glad that you enjoy them!

[@mohunrr]

Excellent narration! And very useful tips too!

[@Simpletivity]

Thank you kindly!

[@judykahn3870]

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?

[@chloemason7886]

Settings helpful, thanks Changing the layout columns for email - e.g. make the date column wider (easy in Outlook)?

[@ummamuhammad5406]

You have a great voiceover voice. Great video.

[@Simpletivity]

Thank you so much!

[@TiagrajI]

Thanks Scott. Great video. What are the add-ons you are using in your Gmail? I can see boomerang but don't know the others

[@Simpletivity]

Great question. 2 Gmail add-ons that I use frequently (in addition to Boomerang) are CloudHQ and Assistant.to.

[@iwillbefirst]

Thanks for the video, your English is perfect! I use this to know something new improving my life and practice English listening.

[@patmelton43]

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.

[@karthikrajgopal8627]

thanks sir, very useful.

[@anonnnnnsh]

That was so very helpful. Thanks a bunch.

[@scooterllm]

Hi! My recent problem is people are not getting my emails. Its a random occurrence. It’s also not in their spam or junk folders. What do I need to do in settings to ensure deliverability of my emails???

[@1111Britt]

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?

[@argenisaguilar9045]

Great video, thanks so much

Thanks for very simple but nice information. I am a fan from india

[@withammiller]

I want to know how to have gmail add the TIME of past emails, instead of just dates. I am having trouble making sure I have read all emails every day. Of course, your "nudge" you demonstrated will hellp me follow up on those I didn't realize I missed.

[@robbiekw1]

very help full and well presented ..

[@hairaid431]

thank you from a first time user!

[@Simpletivity]

You're welcome!

[@SURESHBABURAJENDRAN]

Thank you very much for your useful information

[@jbmorrow5390]

Hi: Thx for the info - Gmail REALLY NEEDS A RESEND option - any thoughts as to whether they will add it - or any work arounds / hacks - vs. copy & paste? Thx again JB

[@carriebirchler]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[@jerryvincent8402]

Excellent video. I love to learn new ways to use my system.

[@judyweikumbenson199]

Thanks for taking the confusion out of me just attempting to make my email the way I wanted it!

[@Simpletivity]

Glad I could help!

[@bradphillips1715]

I hate in gmail on an email string that the newest message will be at the bottom of the email chain. I would prefer the newest message to be at the top of the email chain. Can I change this?

[@robtmccarthy]

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.

[@debbyespenson4456]

Thank you very helpful.

[@carmennooner2027]

I need to start using the nudge. Also need to learn how to set "Hey Google" to yell at me every morning at nine or ten with a "Hey, Lazy Lady! Check Your Email!". The older I get, the less I feel like taking care of business. Good video, as always.

[@michaelbaker5070]

You can also change font size and font color just remember to scroll down and click save changes

[@bensettle194]

Really liked the presentation, thank you.

[@Simpletivity]

[@Simpletivity]

So glad to hear that, Steven. Thanks for sharing!

[@CR-zh8xj]

How do you add the breaks in your video (at the bottom) that show where the next section starts? Some of these topics I knew. And it was VERY helpful to know where the next segment begins. So how fo i add these to a KZbin video? Even a link to another video that explains this ... would be helpful :). Thanks.

[@haitranxuan2562]

merci beaucoup a toi :))

[@cloudmuffin6776]

So these features can only be used on laptop...because I can't find any on my phone... Please respond

[@Simpletivity]

Yes, some of these features are only found and applicable on the desktop version of Gmail.

[@kathrynrodlun1624]

Thank you. I really needed this.

[@Simpletivity]

So glad!

[@FredFedak]

Good tips. Thank you. I wonder if you can solve a perplexing problem I am having??? When I begin typing my addressee's name in the "To" area, there are certain contacts that autofill, and others that NEVER autofill, or appear in the pick list, even if I type the contact's entire name. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks

[@marcelkuster9537]

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]

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.

[@GamerofKonoha]

theres also the same integration between google calendar and Tasks which you can also view from gmail

[@SH121008]

Great content . Can you do something on google calendar sharing

[@harrymelling9237]

Thanks Scott. Great video.

[@susanmuller161]

Great video. Can you tell me how to KEEP the NAVIGATION folders open? I a at a loss on why and how it keeps blinking away. SO ANNOYING.

[@jatinverma1021]

Hi, I applied few filters and labels and I want to remove all and move my messages to primary from updates and categories what should I do? Is there a way to reset everything.

[@judyblackmancallender3663]

Hello. Good day to you. Can you kindly tell me how this is done on your smartphone? I mean to regain your email that somehow got accidentally sent to drafts? Thank you.

[@ozindan]

this guy sharing simple things but beneficial, important thing is beneficial, good to know more private tricks that google use about peaceful americans.

[@2203jewel]

If you do a power wash does it affect all of your Gmail settings

[@michelleaguayo5277]

How do you set the reply option with several options at the bottom of an email? I'm not sure what that setting is called.

[@dannymcphee]

Hey Scott, thanks for these gmail videos. I have a question, is there a way you can reorder your labels? For example, I would like to move my trash label to be right under the inbox label. thanks

[@Simpletivity]

Sorry, these labels are currently hard coded into their respective locations.

[@bayechm]

thank for you halp!

[@Simpletivity]

You're welcome!

[@t.s8113]

I had my emails set up the way I wanted and Google did a new and improved way to use Gmail and now I can't find several labels that I had before. 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.

[@marlejandreau2576]

how do i set the margins in composing a new email to not continuously go right into a wider and wider message? i would prefer how it used to be. similar to a word document. at the end of the in view words I've already typed i want it to drop to a page break down to the next viewable line. thank you in advance. :)

[@melissagouffray2108]

If I create an email template to send to clients and you open it on a mobile device the font size in the body is larger than in the signature, how do I fix this issue. I did select "normal" on the text size for signature and the body of my email, so I am confused, on the pc it looks good....

[@kahitAno]

Thanks

[@Simpletivity]

Welcome

[@lucypace5835]

When composing an email how can I utilise 'line-spacing'? thanks.

[@maehay4065]

Why does Gmail have a blue button instead of off or on button in settings? I have lost some of my emails and I didn’t change anything until I quit getting my mail. I don’t use my computer. I usually use my iPad or my phone. Now if I want to watch You Tube I have to go directly to this app. Did something change in the last month? Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@kaylatter6160]

Thanks for the good suggestions. One more, that I need, is finding my spam folder. Kay

[@lynnhalliday6735]

New unread emails. Can the color of the email be changed, Example new emails are red and once read they go to black?

[@arthurbotting9557]

Thanks for this video! Can you create a video that shows how we can use the Stars to prioritize emails?

[@Simpletivity]

Thanks for the suggestion, Arthur.

[@David-jo4gt]

Great video. Is there something I need to turn on? Some E mails only show the first line of the E mail none of the body seems like it is from mass mailings or news letters?

[@vicchrisryan3684]

Hi There, I seem to have lost my "Spell Check" I have three little dots on the bottom of the Compose screen & there is a Spell Check but it isn't highlighted, it used to be. I have tried left & right clicking over an incorrect spelling but no joy. Can you help please

[@webofficer101]

Thanks, nice share!

[@kennethkay6090]

This really help me set up my email it a much more efficient way..Thank you!

[@sooch2144]

In gmail I want to send a message to a number of my contacts so i hi lite BCC and up comes a list but not a complete list of my contacts. This list is limited to 50 . how can I expand the list.

[@wesperryman4469]

It is hard to see on the left the email that I am on. I would like a way to have it highlighted more. It is hard to tell from the rest that I have not clicked on. Thank you.

[@Simpletivity]

You may want to change your theme within Gmail. Some themes make these colors a lot easier to read.

[@mikeynuzz]

Great video..I did learn some good tips- I have several emails that go to my gmail account. Question, How do i see my OTHER SENT emails that go to my gmail account..?

[@peternohlmans4588]

hi when you receive email message is there a sound to let you know you got mail

[@annaobura5122]

I want to display the date of emails I receive. How to do that? Perhaps you could help with this since it seems to be missing from Settings.

[@naveendahiya144]

Thanks man. you are Amazing.

[@Simpletivity]

Thanks so much!

[@cantstandidiots5839]

Good video, but my problem is getting to settings. I don't use GMail hardly at all because there isn't a toolbar above the actual emails that has the settings gear or anything else on the same line as "compose". 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.

[@ChristopherFreedom]

Great video! Subscribed.

[@Simpletivity]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@markkoons7488]

I've increased the delay during which it is possible to cancel send because autocorrect knoweth not my intentions. A 20 second delay gives me a chance to correct the corrections.

[@Simpletivity]

Thanks for sharing this tip that others might find helpful.
