- Use the “Organize by” feature to group your messages by subject, date, or sender.
- Use the “Mark as read” feature to indicate that you’ve read a message and want to keep it in your inbox for later.
- Use the “Reply all” and “Reply to all” features to reply to all messages in one go or reply selectively from specific messages.
- Use the “Cancel” button on your keyboard to end a conversation before it starts or close your Gmail account if you’re not interested in continuing it.
Before
Here are some examples of items that you may be tired of looking at in your Gmail account such as the “Footer” below your “Inbox”, the “Chat Box”, and the “Invitation Box”.
Perhaps you would also like to have the “New Window, Print all, & Create a document Commands” moved elsewhere. And of course there is everyone’s “favorite” sponsored links… Time to do some cleaning up and reorganizing.
Better Gmail in Action
As soon as you have installed Better Gmail a new tab will automatically open and present you with the available options. Place a “checkmark” in the box for each option that you would like activated and click on “Save” when finished.
Note: The final option entry is a tie-in with two other “linked” extensions (Folders4Gmail & HTML Signature) while the middle listing is a link to an article for disabling Google Buzz.
Once you have saved your changes in the “Options” you will be prompted to refresh your Gmail tab to see the changes.
Going back to our “Inbox Area” everything looks so much more streamlined and clean now. Goodbye clutter!
The “New Window, Print all, & Create a document Commands” definitely look a lot nicer as a small toolbar above our e-mail. And the right side…you can see for yourself just how much better that looks. No more distractions there to bother you as you read your e-mail.
Conclusion
If you have been wanting to get rid of the undesirable elements visible in your Gmail account then hurry over to the Better Gmail page, grab the extension and enjoy the better view.
