Introduction to Gmail

“

Welcome to Module 1: Introduction to Gmail. In this module, you'll be introduced to Gmail and learn how to access it through your browser. You'll also learn how to send email, manage Gmail conversations, and explore some common actions that can be taken on your messages. Gmail is email by Google. Gmail lets you send, receive, and organize messages using only your web browser. Powerful search helps you find your messages quickly. Gmail also integrates with the other applications in Google Workspace like Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Chat, and Google Meet. With Gmail, your messages are safe and secure with intelligent filtering of spam and malicious messages. Gmail helps you increase your productivity with smart features like Smart Reply, Snooze, and nudges. To ensure you have access to all of the Gmail features, we suggest you access Gmail using Google Chrome. There are a few ways to access Gmail. The simplest way is to navigate to mail.google.com and sign in with your username, which is your email address and password. Alternatively, you can select the Gmail icon from the apps launcher while using another Google Workspace app like Google Drive. You can also download the Gmail app for an Android mobile device from the Google Play store or from the Apple App Store for an Apple device. If you haven't done so already, please open Gmail now by typing mail.google.com in a new browser tab. Although Gmail may look similar to email systems you've used before, Gmail uses a few unique approaches to traditional messaging workflows to improve your experience and more importantly, to save you time. Gmail groups messages with the same subject together in conversations. Conversation view creates a thread of all the messages that you send and receive on a topic, so it's easy to see discussions that may cover days, weeks or even months. If you prefer a chronological view of messages, you can easily disable conversation view in your Gmail settings. Let's take a look at that now.
