Gmail – Multiple Email Addresses and Improved Contact Importing
Jun 16th
MANAGE EMAILS WITH GMAIL
Did you know you can manage several email accounts in Gmail? Gmail gives you the benefit of their excellent spam filtering, managing multiple emails in one email program, and not having to re-install and import emails and contacts from your old computer when you get a new one. Not having to install my email program and import all of my emails and contacts alone is a good enough reason for me to use Gmail, but it also makes managing email easier.
IMPROVED GMAIL CONTACTS IMPORTING
Gmail’s also added more fields to Contacts so importing them from other email programs like Outlook for smoother importing.

Gmail says Slice and Dice with Search Operators
Jun 7th
Slice and dice your mail with search operators says the Gmail blog’s most recent post. They have some good points to make about search operators, and Search Autocomplete but I still have one major issue with Gmail’s search…
I search for domain names and client names which are sometimes separated by spaces and sometimes not. So, if I am search for ABCFilmCompany.com (fictitious, of course) then I want to be able to search for ABC, Film Company, ABC Film Company or ABCFilmCompany.com… its just something I expect from search giant Google.
Gmail Adds Inbox Preview
Jun 1st
In a rush to check your Gmail account? Maybe you’re on dialup and its slow, or you’ve just got a couple of seconds to check your inbox, or maybe your Gmail loads slow for some reason and you just want to see if you have any new email. What do you do?
Gmail presents New in Labs: Inbox Preview – just turn this feature on and when you see the “Loading you@gmail.com” message you get a plain text representation of the the first 10 messages in your inbox – including at-a-glance whether or not they are read or unread.
Mission accomplished – thanks again Gmail. It might not be the biggest hit, but some folks will surely live off of this new feature.
