Here’s a breakdown of the Gmail hacks with detailed steps:

1. Unsubscribe from Promotional Emails:

• Open the promotional email you want to unsubscribe from.
• Scroll down to the footer of the email (usually the bottom).
• Look for an “unsubscribe” link. It might say “unsubscribe” or “manage preferences.” Click on that link.
• You might be directed to a webpage where you can confirm your unsubscription. Follow the on-page instructions.

2. Undo a Sent Email (with a time limit):

• Go to Gmail settings (click the gear icon in the top right corner).
• Click “See all settings”.
• Under “Undo Send,” choose a “Send cancellation window” (e.g., 5, 10, 30 seconds).
• Scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

Important Note: This feature only works within the chosen time window after hitting send.

3. Send a Confidential Email (sort of):

• While Gmail doesn’t offer true encryption, you can use confidential mode.
• Compose your email as usual.
• Click the lock icon next to the compose window (looks like a lock with a clock).
• Set an expiration date and a passcode access option for the recipient.

Remember: This doesn’t guarantee complete confidentiality, but adds an extra layer of security.

4. Master Keyboard Shortcuts:

• Go to Gmail settings (gear icon).
• Click “See all settings” and scroll down to “Keyboard shortcuts.”
• Enable shortcuts and explore the list provided. There are shortcuts for composing, replying, forwarding, deleting, and more!

5. Schedule Emails for Later:

• Compose your email as usual.
• Click the down arrow next to the blue “Send” button.
• Choose “Schedule send” and select a date and time for delivery.

6. Prep Canned Responses for Frequent Replies:

• Go to Gmail settings (gear icon).
• Click “See all settings” and navigate to “Advanced.”
• Enable “Canned responses.”
• Compose a frequently used reply in a new email.
• Click the three dots menu in the bottom right corner of the compose window.
• Select “Save as canned response” and give it a title.

7. Snooze Emails for Later:

• Open the email you want to snooze.
• Click the clock icon in the top toolbar.
• Choose when you want the email to reappear in your inbox (later today, tomorrow, or a specific date/time).

8. Mute Annoying Conversations:

• Open the conversation you want to mute.
• Click the three dots menu in the top right corner.
• Select “Mute.” This will move the conversation to your archive folder and prevent future notifications.

These hacks will help you streamline your workflow, organize your inbox, and become a Gmail pro!
