As an older person, change is difficult at times but this one stumped me. Just like I don't like the grocery store to change things around, Gmail is the same. Working with for a non -profit organization, I rely on my Gmail to help me make my task easier. We get multiple emails from a user and will need to check back on an older email to refresh the circumstance. On the old version, you could "hover" over the name or address and a window would open up with options, such as reply or "emails" and if you clicked on emails, all the emails from that sender would appear... Can't find it... HELP I'm lost and can't find it. Love your videos, Very well done and easy to follow.
I’m glad you brought up the issue of no column sorting. Yes, Gmail allows you to search based on certain criteria but it only retrieves just those email entries. If you want to “sort” by sender to see ALL entries you can’t as of right now. If you have hundreds of emails, by many senders, a column sort would be nice because you may have entries by a sender who you don’t remember and a search is only good if you can remember the sender’s name. Cleaning up the hundreds of entries would be nice if the senders would be in alpha order so you could click on entries you want to act on without many dozens of searches needed today.
A big Thanks Steve!!! As always you light up the tech path for so many of us!! Just a note, when I switched over to the new Gmail, My snooze feature was already activated. And thanks for shedding light on the self destruct (Confidential mode). I do have a gripe with Gmail, and it is when you delete something from Archive, or anywhere else in gmail, if you have it stored in a folder, it gets deleted. I think that you should be able to segregate what you want deleted or not. For example if you send yourself an email for a particular folder, and go to the "sent" box and delete it, it also gets deleted in the folder you specifically placed it. anyway many thanks again!!!
Hi Steve, First, thanks for all the great info! Your presentations are fun, easy to understand and a BIG help in navigating the Google landscape. I have two Gmail accounts. Initially, all my Google stuff was set up on - lets say Gmail 1. After a security alert from Google regarding my Gmail 2 account, I reset the password for Gmail 2. From thence onward, all my Google stuff (search, calendar, etc.) defaults to the Gmail 2 account. I have made Gmail 1 my default for my Gmail but the others still default to Gmail 2? Your assistance is greatly appreciated, Tom
I'm confused. If All Mail is the archive mailbox, then why does it show all mail (sent included) and not just emails that have been archived. Seems like there is a missing Archive folder.
Steve, I love the way you explain things..... What I really need to know is how to delete very old emails and is there a setting where emails are automatically deleted after a certain time? Also would Archiving work the same way?
I'm actually happy Google moved the Contacts launcher to the app drawer. Not only was it buried under the biggest logo on the screen but when you used it, you got the Contacts all right but totally replacing your Inbox. Much more intuitive now, in my opinion. Now you get the Contacts in a separate tab. Good episode...
Agreed Contacts in its own tab is more helpful. I will admit I would have 2 tabs open in G Mail. One with inbox screen and one for contacts tab (it works too).
Hi Steve, Thanks for your help and great vids. There's something I don't get. What's the benefit of archiving emails ? As everyone I have thousands of emails and never archive any of them. So far I use 43 % of my gmail storage capacity but what's the point of Archive ? I simply don't get it. Does it free some space ? Take care.
Awesome stuff, is there a way in gmail to have the travel label like inbox has? That is a cool feature, I wish it was in the new gmail as it works better then inbox?
Thanks for This Video Steve...I have decided to revert back to the original gmail until they add the group sort feature..It make take eons, but im patient..Cheers!
Hi Steve: Your video is awesome and informative. I just have small question. Everytime I sent email to a friend it landed on my inbox with a label of "ME". How do you remove that "ME" on my inbox? Thank you in advance! Sherwin
Steve thank you!!!! When you can, could you walk me through how to create a event from your gmail. This use to be a function under more. I see tasks but I dont see you are able to create it as a calander event. This use to be great when you could have the email in the description and add agenda. Instead of having to copy the whole email and then finding the date and time. Thanks!
You can actually do a type of search by using a filter. But unfortunately "Filter" doesn't work like it used to. You can not create a filter now like you could with the old version because if you click on Create Filter, it brings you to a second screen where you can put in things such as "Skip The Inbox," "Mark As Read," and "Delete It." If you click the back arrow it takes you back to the first screen. If you again click on the Create Filter button, it takes you back to the second screen. There is NO option to save the filter now. If you try to edit a filter now, you still have the same problem because there is NO way to save the filter. I have been having major problems with this since the new version came out. I hate this version too with a passion!
Hello Sir, I have a two part questions regarding creating new emails on both desktop and mobile app on Gmail. On the desktop, can I move the new email that I'm doing from the right hand corner, to the opposite side (or where ever I want)? And on the mobile, I notice when I reply an email there's no space between the new email that I'm writing and the email that the other person sent. Is like I have to hit enter a couple of times so there can be space. Your the best!
Thanks, Steve! ...great info! I am thinking of switching to the new Gmail today. Do you have one or two compelling reasons for making the change? not making the change?
Another option missing in the new Gmail is the ability to "quick add" a calendar event directly from an email. The old Gmail would allow you to add an event that would populate the date/time/etc.
Help. I used to filter my Inbox mails using Search and then selected and copied the text of a series of conversations as it is presented in the Inbox view, so I could paste into to another program (such as Word, Excel,...). I don't seem able to do that any more...
I actually prefer th Contacts being accessed from the apps icon. I don't access my Contacts that often and I never found the old location very intuitive. It always took me a while to find it. I wonder if Google are planning a 'Contacts' side-bar tool? I reckon that would be really useful.
Hi Great videos My question is not directly about the new Gmail ..but I do have Gmail issue When writing an Email I am in overwrite / insert mode which is incredibly annoying Like all people who have the same problem ..I do not know how this happened - it is only when writing an Email in Gmail - not in Word or Excel All the solutions on the web talk about using the insert button ...highlight / click on text and hit Insert to switch it on or off This does not work for me ....and I suspect the Insert button is faulty as it does not change the text writing in either Word or Excel Is there any other solution that does not involve the use of the Insert button ??? Thanks
Great information, much appreciated! Another question about the Calendar widget - it does not show "Other" calendars that I have set-up. For example, I have a subscribed calendar for my grandson's baseball schedule, Canadian Holidays and an NHL team schedule.....all of which do not show in the sidebar view - have I missed a setting?
It seems they took away the feature that allowed you with a click of a button see all emails form that sender! Now when i hover over an email and the little contact window pops up there is no option to see all emails. I'm I missing something, please help !
9:30 While it's true that you can only see your agenda for a single day, you can at least view a full month by clicking the drop-down arrow to the right of the date at the top.
Hi! I have a "small" question. tried to find a solution for this on the internet but couldn't... is there anyway to remove this new right side add-in panel if someone doesn't need it?
When I open Gmail, on the password box I have many dots..Click sign on the right, the dots changed to real password. How do I get rid of that dots? In addition, usually I have on the left side under Inbox, the items sent email, spam, and many others. Now I do not have it anymore. How do I get it back? Thanks
Hi, Steve. Great video. Always fascinated by all things Google suite. I do have a couple of questions pertaining to Gmail. The first is Google Inbox - a terrible interface but introduced us to the ground breaking Snooze facility. My question is why hasn't Google recalled it now that Gmail has the Snooze facility? My second question is how do I set a Priority when Composing an e-mail; I've been e-mailing solicitors a lot and wanting to flag then as High Priority like on other e-mail clients but I fail to see the option. Is there not one? Thanks, Steve. 👍
hi Steeve, J'apprécie vraiment tes conseils et tes qualités de vulgarisateur scientifique qui ne se prend pas trop au sérieux. i believe Gmail is much more performant than Apple mail. Although i've been an Apple user (babyboomer) for over 25 years and i still use a Macbook pro. I switched from Safari to Google Chrome. This allows me to get the Google suite including GMail, Google Keep and all kinds of free apps which is not the case with Apple apps . By the way i can also use all the synchronized Google Suite on my Pixel 2 XL which is the best smart phone i had so far (Just compare Siri to Google Assistant...). Seems that i am slowly moving away from the Apple echosystem... Keep on the good work Jack, Quebec City, Canada
I was using google e-mail on the outlook platform. I need to import contacts from the outlook to "google contact". How can I do this as well as importing saved emails to the Google platform? Thank you
I have a question about the new Gmail and how it links to Google Photos»: while I'm writing an email, I want to insert a photo (inline) of person XYZ, but when (from inside GMail) I click on the insert image icon, I am sent to the general view of all my photos and cannot do a search like when I'm in Google Photos. What am I missing here»?
I've recently switched to using the Gmail Online Setup exclusively. I've never much bothered with it before, preferring to use Outlook, Live Mail, Windows Mail, etc. But, with some frustrating experiences with Windows Mail, I decided to switch permanently. I love the Gmail Onlne look, it's so clean and customizable and works like a dream......except! I can't, no matter I try get Desktop Notifications to work? I've set it up correctly in the Settings Menu. But, I notice, having looked at some "tutorials," that once you've chosen the following: "New mail notifications on - Notify me when any new message arrives in my inbox or primary tab," that there' a further "pop up option," which doesn't appear, when I do it, before clicking "Save Changes?" If anyone has the solution to this, I'd be very grateful, thanks! 🙏😉
I was able to reply before but yesterday after the NEW Gmail I was trying to reply on Gmail and then it was so complicated I kept getting errors instead. On my tablet I was able to reply easily. And I hate the new Gmail. And no way would I put a time limit on emails either. I hate the self destruct idea or feature too.
Can I use the snooze on an email I had sent to see if I have rec'd a reply to that sent mail? Or does it hold the sent mail to the snooze date and time?
Hello, I am trying to clean up my database in google contacts, my problem is about 80% of contacts don't show/or have emails. However, in my gmail account I have many emails that may match. My question is how I sync my gmail with my google contacts? Is there a way to do that automatically? Additionally, in some of my gmail emails, there are signatures with information that I can also add to my database. Is there a way to grab those signatures in bulk out of gmail? I appreciate your assistance in this endeavor. Thanks,
Steve, I just discovered you and you're great. I would like to knoq how to automatically file new messages into a particular folder. for instnance i want all messages from sender A to get moved into folder B automatically. How do I do that?
Here is one for you Steve, I have over 50,000 emails that are over a year old, I was told they would be deleted, however that was not done so how do I delete them permanently so that only this year is in there, and doing it on a one at a time just does not cut it.
Once I DO open up my Contacts from the 9 button bar I PIN tab it & it's then always up at the top left as a pinned tab along with my calendar & gmail pinned tabs.
Steve - I have extensively caught on yo - and use - the "labelling" feature in Gmail. However, all "labelled" email initially comes in and shows in the INBOX. To keep my email INBOX I have to "ARCHIVE" each item I want to keep because if I simply DELETE them I believe they are lost into TRASH? Do I actually have to go through this process to maintain my emails or is there a better way to do so?
Gmail Contacts , show when you compose an email, When you start typing a name, the persons name and email show. You can then just click on it. The names show, First or Last, as you type the names narrow down the choices , then click the correct one , you can also add more contacts the same way if the email is to more than one person
ThankQ Steve for indoctrinating us into the new Gmail. We're stuck with it, so there is no going back to Classic. Glad I found you today, very informative. Two suggestions for future videos that may prove beneficial for the many. With the Add Ons, could you pick the top ones (like you say boomerang is gone) that would benefit us the most for email organization, and other useful tools. Was looking at Simpletivity as a possiblity. Also, created several new folders today and heck if I can find them anywhere. Gone to that nowhere land in the sky? Hopefully there can be enough 'consumer complaints" compiled and sent to Gmail, that they do some fine tuning on their new gmail.
As always, Steve, great info, thanks. As to this issue of Archive vs All Mail, I think it has to do with the fact that in Gmail, there are no “folders” per se, rather Gmail applies “Labels”. Every email in the system resides in one big space called All Mail. Google’s method of organization of emails is to add a Label to an email that resides in All Mail. Even messages in Inbox are simply messages within All Mail that have the Inbox Label applied. When you Archive a message, Gmail simply removes the Inbox Label from that message, but it still resides in All Mail. Same with all other Labels. That’s why what we consider to be the Archive is called All Mail in Gmail. I agree it’s confusing from a naming convention perspective, but it’s more accurate from the point of view of the system.
So... why don't they have a label called Archive, with the corresponding fake folder tab? They do it in Inbox -- but of course, they can't just call it Archive: they call it Done.
GrowMTBF "no label" is what you think of as archived. When you click that button you think Is the "archive" button you are really just removing the "inbox" label from the message. The message is still there since you didn't delete it, and you can still use search to find it again. Google is fundamentally a search company, so their email storage assumes you will use search to find old emails. LABELS are a handy way of adding extra criteria for when you search later.
Brooks Conkle Thanks! It’s a pretty cool paradigm once we get our heads around it. That’s why Google uses the label vs. folder. In the real world one document can’t live in two folders at the same time. However, you can slap as many labels on the it as you want, and remove them when you want. It still lives in the big bin. Thanks for the feedback!
I am really confused on adding a second email into the one I already have to separate a particular group of emails. Would they come into a folder or be starred? I don't want to purchase google mail professional services. How do I get the second address without having another account?
Hello Sir I love your video's I have a question I have an Gmail account and just one day I stopped receiving my emails, I go to my settings and I tried to sync everything and it shows were all my emails are Saints and I still get nothing now my old Gmail like there's a few emails in there and the new Gmail update that they did I don't have anything so I'm unsure what to do or how to fix it. Can you please help me. Thank You God Bless.
How can I save emails for each project? When I'm done with a project I want to save all the emails concerning the project in that project's folder. Can I do that? If not, I'm considering leaving gmail. Is there another email program that will do it? thanks, -- drowning in emails
Hi Steve thanks for your great stuff! I do have a question: How do I remedy the "incorrect password" message I constantly get? And when I put in the password it rejects it. I keep getting emails that "Someone may be trying to access your account(s)" but it is always just me! I have desktop, laptop and Android, and three gmails. Just one recovery email address- and THAT is one of the ones that always gets questioned. PS I use MacMail except on my Android phone.
My Gmail on desktop doesn't appear to have been updated to allow these new features. Are they still rolling it out? Or what? Thanks...enjoy your podcasts
I don't have that option when clicking on the gear symbol. When I then go to Settings, I don't see an option to enable the new Gmail.. Which tab under Settings? Not sure what is going on. Thanks much.
Google's biggest problem, is putting settings in the wrong places, under the wrong categories, they are extremely unorganised I find. Having the snooze setting under "Conversation view" setting is a bad idea, no-one would think to click that unless they were losing patience and just spamming controls left/right/centre. This is worse than the time they hid RUclips's PM/inbox system in the "creators studio", a place that's unrelated to PM's. They keep putting settings and features in the wrong places, they are quite poor when it comes to site design, I have no idea why =( You would've thought they'd have enough experience to not make so many silly mistakes like these.
Nick Patel yes. Reminders show up in the calendar for both desktop and mobile apps. You can set them as an all day or set to a time. The are persistent past whatever date you set until they are marked done or deleted.
A feature missing in new Gmail: dates and times in received email (in the body of the email) do not offer me any links for automatically creating calendar entries as was previously available. I miss that capability. Will new Gmail bring this back?
DottoTech,Hi again; -> Yu didn't READ my question to yu.. I asked, how do I turn it back???, -> when it's NOT, NOT, NOT in SETTING!!!! I ALREADY Watched your Video, and it didN'T help/answer what I asked..
I did read your question, if you don't have the option is settings I have no idea how to turn it back. It seems to me that some accounts still have revert to original, and others do not.
Hi Steve. Am I correct in thinking that you cannot have two email addresses for a single Google account? I want an appropriate email address for my role as village hall treasurer, but don't want to affect all my personal stuff. Should I just bite the bullet and create a new village hall Google account?
Steve, I signed into my gmail account from another persons computer. Now when 'sign into gmail' is accessed from that computer it automatically goes to my account, not requiring a sign in by the person accessing gmail, thus any person using the computer to sign into gmail accesses my account straight off. How do I turn off the apparent automatic sign into my account. Thanks much.
How do I get the snooze feature to appear on my android phone Gmail? I am only having the problem on the Gmail account that does not use @gmail.com. the @Financemgr.com, which is a Gmail account, does not have the snooze feature
I also think we contribute to the confusion in finding help. By your calling it "Self-Destruct" and not "confidential" it adds to the confusion. I do like your calling it Self-destruct but Gmail did not name it that - so perhaps even in your time link you might consider aka "confidential mode"
Gmail is constantly emailing several times a day to say my gmail is out of date but I dont know how to update it particularly the advanced mailbox SSl incoming and outgoing Can you help please
How do I keep my Gmail synced with my devices. I view my emails on my cellphone read them all but the account does not indicate read on my emails on the desktop it still showing 75 emails unread, etc. I hope will can help?
Well done, Steve. Your videos are always so informative. Do you happen to know if there is a way to suppress the "The conversation has been moved to the Trash" and the other action confirmation popups that seem to have appeared in the new GMail version?
Thank you for the great overview, but my question (urgent for me,) is how can I get back to the old Gmail? I hate change! I know what I'm doing on the old interface, and the extra seconds hunting for things like "trash" just drive me up the wall!! Thank you in advance. I'm desperate.
How to find the time yesterday's email was sent in the new Gmail interface? when you hover the date is now covered up by the new archive/delete/snooze/etc button
Steve, this is the message that keeps coming up in my emails and messing me up: Google: "Are you the one who tried signing in? Google will continue to block sign-in attempts from the app you're using because it has known security problems or is out of date. You can continue to use this app by allowing access to less secure apps, but this may leave your account vulnerable." Steve- how do I even know what app is causing this?
Sounds like a frustrating issue. Tough to trouble shoot for me, BUT here is a link to the Google product forum It is where I would go for a solution. productforums.google.com/forum/
Steve that was no help. I even changed my password, still Mac Mail does not recognize so I still can't get my email from that (those) gmail accounts. All the forums say is that there is some glitch between Apple and Google and only offer temporary workarounds. Very frustrating and time consuming. I want a fix and nobody seems to know anything.

Excellent video. You've clairified many things I simply do not have the time or focus to look for or figure out.
You do an awesome Job Steve at sorting things out for us. Thanks!
Thank you for letting us in on the secret of where our archives can be found!
Hi Steve,
First, thanks for all the great info! Your presentations are fun, easy to understand and a BIG help in navigating the Google landscape.

I have made Gmail 1 my default for my Gmail but the others still default to Gmail 2?

dottotech does a very good job in all explanations
You know what ? I like the way how you explain things, thank you, Ashraf from Tunisia.
Steve thank you!!!! When you can, could you walk me through how to create a event from your gmail. This use to be a function under more. I see tasks but I dont see you are able to create it as a calander event. This use to be great when you could have the email in the description and add agenda.

Excellent video as always. I understand the video is about gmail, however do you use Gmail for your email or iOS mail?
I use Gmail on my phone.

Hi
Great videos
My question is not directly about the new Gmail ..but I do have Gmail issue
When writing an Email I am in overwrite / insert mode which is incredibly annoying
Like all people who have the same problem ..I do not know how this happened - it is only when writing an Email in Gmail - not in Word or Excel
All the solutions on the web talk about using the insert button ...highlight / click on text and hit Insert to switch it on or off
This does not work for me ....and I suspect the Insert button is faulty as it does not change the text writing in either Word or Excel
Is there any other solution that does not involve the use of the Insert button ???
Thanks
Great information, much appreciated! Another question about the Calendar widget - it does not show "Other" calendars that I have set-up. For example, I have a subscribed calendar for my grandson's baseball schedule, Canadian Holidays and an NHL team schedule.....all of which do not show in the sidebar view - have I missed a setting?
Seems to just be your main calendar.
Thank You for the SNOOZE fix!!
Thank you. How can I transfer all my Gmail account - labels and emails (everything) into new Gmail account?
It seems they took away the feature that allowed you with a click of a button see all emails form that sender! Now when i hover over an email and the little contact window pops up there is no option to see all emails. I'm I missing something, please help !
Hi, dottotech. you omitted to tell the people that they can save their contacts to bookmarks, where they can be accessed at any time.
9:30 While it's true that you can only see your agenda for a single day, you can at least view a full month by clicking the drop-down arrow to the right of the date at the top.
Yes, but you can't see appointments in it, but you are correct!
Thanks for the update!
Hi! I have a "small" question. tried to find a solution for this on the internet but couldn't... is there anyway to remove this new right side add-in panel if someone doesn't need it?

hi Steeve,
J'apprécie vraiment tes conseils et tes qualités de vulgarisateur scientifique qui ne se prend pas trop au sérieux. i believe Gmail is much more performant than Apple mail. Although i've been an Apple user (babyboomer) for over 25 years and i still use a Macbook pro. I switched from Safari to Google Chrome. This allows me to get the Google suite including GMail, Google Keep and all kinds of free apps which is not the case with Apple apps . By the way i can also use all the synchronized Google Suite on my Pixel 2 XL which is the best smart phone i had so far (Just compare Siri to Google Assistant...). Seems that i am slowly moving away from the Apple echosystem...
Keep on the good work
Jack, Quebec City, Canada
I am tempted to move to the Pixel myself!
Do I have to install Chrome to optimize Gmail?
Great learned some new things
so are you able to create folders for like subscriptions like emails from nespresso and kmart
I would really like to see an Evernote add on in the sidebar.
I was using google e-mail on the outlook platform. I need to import contacts from the outlook to "google contact". How can I do this as well as importing saved emails to the Google platform? Thank you
I have a question about the new Gmail and how it links to Google Photos»: while I'm writing an email, I want to insert a photo (inline) of person XYZ, but when (from inside GMail) I click on the insert image icon, I am sent to the general view of all my photos and cannot do a search like when I'm in Google Photos. What am I missing here»?
I don't think you're missing anything, looks to me like the in-line photo toolUses your photo library And not Google photos.
I've recently switched to using the Gmail Online Setup exclusively. I've never much bothered with it before, preferring to use Outlook, Live Mail, Windows Mail, etc. But, with some frustrating experiences with Windows Mail, I decided to switch permanently. I love the Gmail Onlne look, it's so clean and customizable and works like a dream......except! I can't, no matter I try get Desktop Notifications to work?
I've set it up correctly in the Settings Menu. But, I notice, having looked at some "tutorials," that once you've chosen the following:
"New mail notifications on - Notify me when any new message arrives in my inbox or primary tab," that there' a further "pop up option," which doesn't appear, when I do it, before clicking "Save Changes?"
If anyone has the solution to this, I'd be very grateful, thanks! 🙏😉
Great job as usual! Thanks.
I was able to reply before but yesterday after the NEW Gmail I was trying to reply on Gmail and then it was so complicated I kept getting errors instead. On my tablet I was able to reply easily. And I hate the new Gmail. And no way would I put a time limit on emails either. I hate the self destruct idea or feature too.
Can I use the snooze on an email I had sent to see if I have rec'd a reply to that sent mail? Or does it hold the sent mail to the snooze date and time?
how do you make a list of people in the new Gmail???
I really relied on the 'Pencil it in' feature which appears to be gone in Gmail 2018. Is there a replacement for it that you know of?
Hello, I am trying to clean up my database in google contacts, my problem is about 80% of contacts don't show/or have emails. However, in my gmail account I have many emails that may match. My question is how I sync my gmail with my google contacts?
Is there a way to do that automatically?
Additionally, in some of my gmail emails, there are signatures with information that I can also add to my database. Is there a way to grab those signatures in bulk out of gmail?
I appreciate your assistance in this endeavor.
Thanks,
Steve, I just discovered you and you're great. I would like to knoq how to automatically file new messages into a particular folder. for instnance i want all messages from sender A to get moved into folder B automatically. How do I do that?
Grmail Filters, We have a few videos on it, and we are doing another one soon.
I got it. Your show is great, thanks
Here is one for you Steve, I have over 50,000 emails that are over a year old, I was told they would be deleted, however that was not done so how do I delete them permanently so that only this year is in there, and doing it on a one at a time just does not cut it.

Thank you for this video it was very helpful . Landon
How do you see the hover links (archive, delete, mark as read, snooze) using a touch screen? I see them when I 'mouse over' with the mouse.
I found it by trial and error; long press. The old saying use to be, "When in doubt, right click". Now it's, "When in doubt long press."
how do I get back my classic look on gmail, when they don't have it in settings?
I see it under the gear icon, if you don't see it there I am not sure what you need to do! ☹
Dotto Help - I cannot see where I can change my gmail to the new format? Is it available in Southern California? Help .
Yep, go to settings, it will be right at the top
Contacts would be perfect for the sidebar widget.
Once I DO open up my Contacts from the 9 button bar I PIN tab it & it's then always up at the top left as a pinned tab along with my calendar & gmail pinned tabs.
Steve - I have extensively caught on yo - and use - the "labelling" feature in Gmail. However, all "labelled" email initially comes in and shows in the INBOX. To keep my email INBOX I have to "ARCHIVE" each item I want to keep because if I simply DELETE them I believe they are lost into TRASH? Do I actually have to go through this process to maintain my emails or is there a better way to do so?
Is Google Inbox going away? I've been using it since it came out and seems far superior to GMail.
Gmail Contacts , show when you compose an email, When you start typing a name, the persons name and email show. You can then just click on it. The names show, First or Last, as you type the names narrow down the choices , then click the correct one , you can also add more contacts the same way if the email is to more than one person
ThankQ Steve for indoctrinating us into the new Gmail. We're stuck with it, so there is no going back to Classic.
Glad I found you today, very informative. Two suggestions for future videos that may prove beneficial for the many. With the Add Ons, could you pick the top ones (like you say boomerang is gone) that would benefit us the most for email organization, and other useful tools. Was looking at Simpletivity as a possiblity. Also, created several new folders today and heck if I can find them anywhere. Gone to that nowhere land in the sky? Hopefully there can be enough 'consumer complaints" compiled and sent to Gmail, that they do some fine tuning on their new gmail.
As always, Steve, great info, thanks. As to this issue of Archive vs All Mail, I think it has to do with the fact that in Gmail, there are no “folders” per se, rather Gmail applies “Labels”. Every email in the system resides in one big space called All Mail. Google’s method of organization of emails is to add a Label to an email that resides in All Mail. Even messages in Inbox are simply messages within All Mail that have the Inbox Label applied. When you Archive a message, Gmail simply removes the Inbox Label from that message, but it still resides in All Mail. Same with all other Labels. That’s why what we consider to be the Archive is called All Mail in Gmail. I agree it’s confusing from a naming convention perspective, but it’s more accurate from the point of view of the system.
Thanks, makes sense!
So... why don't they have a label called Archive, with the corresponding fake folder tab? They do it in Inbox -- but of course, they can't just call it Archive: they call it Done.
GrowMTBF I understand your point. Unfortunately they didn’t ask us our opinion! 😎
GrowMTBF "no label" is what you think of as archived. When you click that button you think Is the "archive" button you are really just removing the "inbox" label from the message. The message is still there since you didn't delete it, and you can still use search to find it again. Google is fundamentally a search company, so their email storage assumes you will use search to find old emails. LABELS are a handy way of adding extra criteria for when you search later.
Brooks Conkle Thanks! It’s a pretty cool paradigm once we get our heads around it. That’s why Google uses the label vs. folder. In the real world one document can’t live in two folders at the same time. However, you can slap as many labels on the it as you want, and remove them when you want. It still lives in the big bin.
Thanks for the feedback!
I am really confused on adding a second email into the one I already have to separate a particular group of emails. Would they come into a folder or be starred? I don't want to purchase google mail professional services. How do I get the second address without having another account?
Check out the video we are posting tomorrow, it answers all your questions!

How can I save emails for each project? When I'm done with a project I want to save all the emails concerning the project in that project's folder. Can I do that? If not, I'm considering leaving gmail. Is there another email program that will do it? thanks, -- drowning in emails
You can use Labels, that will sort them.
Can we access gmail at same time from different countries
Instead of the confidential mode button on Gmail... I only see a $ for Google pay. Where do I find it?
Hi Steve thanks for your great stuff! I do have a question: How do I remedy the "incorrect password" message I constantly get? And when I put in the password it rejects it. I keep getting emails that "Someone may be trying to access your account(s)" but it is always just me! I have desktop, laptop and Android, and three gmails. Just one recovery email address- and THAT is one of the ones that always gets questioned. PS I use MacMail except on my Android phone.
You must have multiple accounts set up with something set up incorrectly, and it may not be on your computer, perhaps it is on your phone?
My Gmail on desktop doesn't appear to have been updated to allow these new features. Are they still rolling it out? Or what? Thanks...enjoy your podcasts
Check under your Settings menu (the gear icon), you should be able to enable the new Gmail there.
I don't have that option when clicking on the gear symbol. When I then go to Settings, I don't see an option to enable the new Gmail.. Which tab under Settings? Not sure what is going on. Thanks much.
Google's biggest problem, is putting settings in the wrong places, under the wrong categories, they are extremely unorganised I find. Having the snooze setting under "Conversation view" setting is a bad idea, no-one would think to click that unless they were losing patience and just spamming controls left/right/centre. This is worse than the time they hid RUclips's PM/inbox system in the "creators studio", a place that's unrelated to PM's.
They keep putting settings and features in the wrong places, they are quite poor when it comes to site design, I have no idea why =( You would've thought they'd have enough experience to not make so many silly mistakes like these.
Is it possible to see Reminders in Gmail?
Nick Patel yes. Reminders show up in the calendar for both desktop and mobile apps. You can set them as an all day or set to a time. The are persistent past whatever date you set until they are marked done or deleted.
A feature missing in new Gmail: dates and times in received email (in the body of the email) do not offer me any links for automatically creating calendar entries as was previously available. I miss that capability. Will new Gmail bring this back?
I have no idea what Gmail is planning, I wish I did!!!!
DottoTech,Hi again; -> Yu didn't READ my question to yu..
I asked, how do I turn it back???, -> when it's NOT, NOT, NOT in SETTING!!!!
I ALREADY Watched your Video, and it didN'T help/answer what I asked..
I did read your question, if you don't have the option is settings I have no idea how to turn it back. It seems to me that some accounts still have revert to original, and others do not.
aaahhh, so chances are, that's what happened to mine then, as it's/that option is just not there..anyway, Thanks much for your help..
how do you keep from having to sign in g mail every time you open it. can i set up a automatic username and pass word.
Why does google not create a function as Boomerang’s? To write an E-mail now, but send it for example tomorrow morning at clock......
Good video Steve..
Hi Steve. Am I correct in thinking that you cannot have two email addresses for a single Google account? I want an appropriate email address for my role as village hall treasurer, but don't want to affect all my personal stuff. Should I just bite the bullet and create a new village hall Google account?
You can have multiple addresses going into a single account, and you can color code or sort them in a variety of ways.
Steve, I signed into my gmail account from another persons computer. Now when 'sign into gmail' is accessed from that computer it automatically goes to my account, not requiring a sign in by the person accessing gmail, thus any person using the computer to sign into gmail accesses my account straight off. How do I turn off the apparent automatic sign into my account. Thanks much.

How do I get the snooze feature to appear on my android phone Gmail? I am only having the problem on the Gmail account that does not use @gmail.com. the @Financemgr.com, which is a Gmail account, does not have the snooze feature
Steve why I can't find no windows 10 videos from ur channel 4 beginner
I guess it’s because I really don’t use windows very much,
I also think we contribute to the confusion in finding help. By your calling it "Self-Destruct" and not "confidential" it adds to the confusion. I do like your calling it Self-destruct but Gmail did not name it that - so perhaps even in your time link you might consider aka "confidential mode"
Fair point, I thought about that myself (after I had called dit that!)
Gmail is constantly emailing several times a day to say my gmail is out of date but I dont know how to update it particularly the advanced mailbox SSl incoming and outgoing Can you help please
How do I keep my Gmail synced with my devices. I view my emails on my cellphone read them all but the account does not indicate read on my emails on the desktop it still showing 75 emails unread, etc. I hope will can help?
Are you reading them in the Gmail App, or in Inbox?
Well done, Steve. Your videos are always so informative. Do you happen to know if there is a way to suppress the "The conversation has been moved to the Trash" and the other action confirmation popups that seem to have appeared in the new GMail version?
Thansk, Not sure, I will pay attention to it as it happens and see if there is an option.
Can you sort the gmail in your inbox? I love being able to sort like outlook by name or by date.
A big shortcoming in Gmail, search but not sort.
Quality video!
You rock Steve!
Thank you for the great overview, but my question (urgent for me,) is how can I get back to the old Gmail? I hate change! I know what I'm doing on the old interface, and the extra seconds hunting for things like "trash" just drive me up the wall!! Thank you in advance. I'm desperate.
Jj
Where is the read reciept?
How to find the time yesterday's email was sent in the new Gmail interface? when you hover the date is now covered up by the new archive/delete/snooze/etc button
found it - go to settings and remove "hover" actions
Man, I wish you were my neighbor.
Steve, this is the message that keeps coming up in my emails and messing me up: Google: "Are you the one who tried signing in?
Google will continue to block sign-in attempts from the app you're using because it has known security problems or is out of date. You can continue to use this app by allowing access to less secure apps, but this may leave your account vulnerable."
Steve- how do I even know what app is causing this?
Sounds like a frustrating issue. Tough to trouble shoot for me, BUT here is a link to the Google product forum It is where I would go for a solution.
productforums.google.com/forum/
Steve that was no help. I even changed my password, still Mac Mail does not recognize so I still can't get my email from that (those) gmail accounts. All the forums say is that there is some glitch between Apple and Google and only offer temporary workarounds. Very frustrating and time consuming. I want a fix and nobody seems to know anything.
Great Video Steve!!!!!!!!
