You can, for example, filter out emails from a certain sender or containing certain keywords and then automatically classify them in a specific folder. This allows you to keep your inbox organized and never miss an important email.
Another interesting feature is the ability tounsend email. If you accidentally sent an email to the wrong person or forgot to include an attachment, you have seconds to click “Cancel” and retrieve the email before it's finally sent. .
Gmail also lets you use aliases to manage different aspects of your work. You can create specific email addresses for project management, customer service or internal communication, while keeping everything centralized in your main Gmail account.
Customizing notifications is another useful feature of Gmail. You can choose to receive notifications for important emails only, based on sender, subject, or other criteria. This allows you to stay focused on your work without being constantly interrupted by unnecessary notifications.
Finally, Gmail's advanced search feature helps you quickly find the emails you need. By using specific search operators, you can narrow your results to find exactly what you're looking for, even if your inbox contains thousands of emails.
