Manage Email in Chrome: Easy Tips & Tricks
Streamlining Email Management with Google Mail Checker Plus
Do you desire a convenient method for receiving notifications about new emails and efficiently managing your account? Consider exploring the Google Mail Checker Plus extension – a tool designed to simplify your email workflow.
Installation Process
Upon initiating the installation, a confirmation prompt will appear. Select “Install” within this window to successfully add the extension to your Chrome browser.
Following completion of the installation, a new Google Mail Checker Plus Toolbar Icon will become visible. A page detailing the extension’s changelog will also be displayed.
Before utilizing the extension, reviewing the available options is recommended. This allows you to customize settings to best suit your individual requirements.
Access to these options is possible through two distinct methods. The first is via the “Preview Window,” identified by a small wrench icon located in the upper right corner…
Alternatively, the options can be found through the “Chrome Extensions Page.”
Available Options
A range of customization options are provided. You can select an icon set that complements your current browser theme.
Furthermore, you can modify the “Preview Window” settings, activate features like hiding unread email counts, choose to open compose windows in tabs, and specify the polling interval for checking new mail. Adding domains for Google Apps accounts is also possible.
The icon sets can function as a visual indicator of your email account’s status, particularly when choosing to “Hide the unread mail count.” Different colors can represent the presence or absence of unread messages.
If you require clarification on any setting, simply hover your mouse cursor over the “Question Mark Symbol.” A popup window will then display an explanation of that particular setting.
Using Google Mail Checker Plus
When unread emails are present, a numerical indicator and a specific icon color will appear on the Toolbar Icon…
Clicking the Toolbar Icon will launch the “Preview Window.” Here, you can view the sender, subject, and a preview of each email, neatly separated by “Control Bars.”
Directly from the preview, you can “Delete, Mark as Spam, Archive, and/or Mark as Read” displayed emails. To “Reply” to an email, utilize the small icon located beneath “Read.”
The icons positioned across the top of the “Control Bar” provide access to functions such as Labeling, composing a new email, refreshing the inbox, and accessing the Options menu.
Selecting an email subject will open that message in a new browser tab…
The email will then be displayed as it normally would when accessing your account directly.
If you choose “Reply” (or “Compose New E-mail”) within the “Preview Window,” a dedicated “Composing Window” will open in a new tab.
Remember to enable the “Open compose in tab” option within the settings if you prefer this behavior; otherwise, the window will open separately.
In Conclusion
For those seeking a streamlined approach to managing their email account throughout the day, the Google Mail Checker Plus extension is a valuable tool to consider.
