您(Did)知道Gmail现在已经 15 岁了吗?4月 1 日(April 1),Google公布了 2019 年试用的新Gmail功能。我认为这是一个很好的机会来突出这些变化,以及最近添加的一些您可能还不知道的其他功能。
我们中的许多人在Gmail 客户端(Gmail client)上花费的时间可能比我们愿意承认的要多,因此希望这 5 个功能将帮助您在 2019 年及以后保持更有条理和更有效率。
右键单击电子邮件(Right-Click Emails)以进行快速访问控制(Quick Access Controls)
如果您在桌面上使用Gmail,您现在可以右键单击提要中的电子邮件以访问快速控制。您可以快速将电子邮件移动到不同的选项卡、回复、转发或访问任何其他功能,包括 Google 新的贪睡控制(snooze control)。
基本上只需单击两次即可对每封电子邮件执行任何您想做的事情。我发现它比使用Gmail 界面(Gmail interface)上的任何其他控件快得多。
稍后暂停电子邮件
Gmail中最近添加的贪睡功能可用于隐藏特定电子邮件以供以后使用(time or date)。然后,当贪睡计时器(snooze timer)到时,您会收到新的电子邮件通知(email notification)。该电子邮件将像新电子邮件一样弹出到您的收件箱中。
为什么要使用贪睡(use snooze)?嗯,有时我们会收到没有时间回复的电子邮件,或者我们想更仔细地考虑如何回复。使用贪睡可确保我们在稍后收到通知,这样我们就不会忘记(t forget)回复。
我最近一直在使用贪睡,它帮助我确保那些写一半的回复不会在我的草稿文件夹中放置太久。
跟进提醒
这是您可能已经在使用的功能。如果Gmail认为某封电子邮件很重要,但您没有回复(t respond),它会在您的电子邮件(email feed)源中显示提醒,以免您忘记(t forget)。几天后,您将在电子邮件主题行旁边看到橙色文本。
我发现主动使用贪睡功能更容易。但如果您忘记了,Gmail会为您提供支持,因此您不必担心错过重要邮件。
现在写,稍后发送
2019 年 4 月(April 2019)添加的一项非常新的功能允许Gmail用户编写电子邮件并稍后发送。这对于安排无法始终按时发送的时间敏感消息可能很有用。
谷歌(Google)建议它可以用于生日消息,在更合适的时间为不同时区的人发送消息,或者不打扰那些正在度假的人。
要使用新的“立即编写(Write),稍后发送”功能(Send Later feature),请点击Gmail 应用程序中的三个点,然后点击“(three dots)安排发送(Schedule Send)” 。
在桌面上,点击蓝色发送按钮(button and tap) 旁边的箭头,然后点击计划发送。(Schedule Send.)
Gmail 智能撰写(Gmail Smart Compose),现已登陆 iOS
谷歌(Google)表示,越来越多的人正在使用Smart Compose来加快他们的电子邮件速度,而Gmail Smart Compose将随着时间的推移变得更加智能。
想知道什么是Smart Compose?这是一个人工智能驱动的功能,可以猜测你接下来会写什么单词。显然,它已经使人们免于每周总共输入超过 10 亿个字符。自2019 年 4 月(April 2019)起,Smart Compose可在所有Android设备上使用,并且很快将登陆 iOS。
要使用智能撰写(Smart Compose),只需使用Gmail 应用程序(Gmail app)撰写邮件。在您键入时,建议将以枯燥的文字出现。滑动(Swipe)以填写建议。
您使用 Smart Compose的次数越多,它就会越了解您使用的单词,从而使其功能更加强大。它本质上就像内置在您的电子邮件客户端中的更强大的自动更正功能。
Top 5 New Gmail Features To Try In 2019
Did you know Gmail is now 15 years old? On Aрril 1, Google revealed new Gmail features to try іn 2019. I thought it’d be a great opportunity to highlight the changes, as well as some other features that have been added recently that you may not yet be aware of.
Many of us probably spend more time in our Gmail client than we’d like to admit, so hopefully these 5 features will help you to stay more organized and productive in 2019 and beyond.
Right-Click Emails For Quick Access Controls
If you are using Gmail on the desktop, you can now right-click emails in the feed to get access to quick controls. You can quickly move emails to different tabs, reply, forward, or access any other feature, including Google’s new snooze control.
It essentially takes two clicks to do absolutely anything you could want to do with each email. I find it far faster than using any of the other controls on the Gmail interface.
Snooze Emails For Later
The recently added snooze feature in Gmail can be used to hide a particular email for a later time or date. Then, when the snooze timer is up, you’ll get a new email notification. The email will pop into your inbox as if it’s a new email.
Why use snooze? Well, sometimes we get emails that we don’t have the time to reply to, or we want to think more carefully about how to respond. Using snooze makes sure we get notified at a later point so that we don’t forget to reply.
I’ve been using snooze a lot recently and it’s helped me to make sure those half-written replies don’t sit in my drafts folder for too long.
Follow Up Reminders
This is a feature you may already be taking advantage of. If Gmail thinks an email is important, but you don’t respond to it, it will show reminders in your email feed so that you don’t forget. You will see orange text a few days later alongside the email subject line.
I find it’s easier to actively use the snooze feature instead. But if you forget, Gmail has your back so you don’t have to worry about missing important messages.
Write Now, Send Later
A very new feature added in April 2019 allows Gmail users to write emails and send them later. This could be useful for scheduling time sensitive messages you can’t always get sent on time.
Google suggested it could be used for birthday messages, for sending messages at more appropriate times for those in different time zones, or to not interrupt those on vacation.
To use the new Write Now, Send Later feature, tap the three dots in the Gmail app and tap Schedule Send.
On the desktop, tap the arrow next to the blue send button and tap Schedule Send.
Gmail Smart Compose, Now Coming To iOS
Google says that more people are using Smart Compose to speed up their emails and Gmail Smart Compose is going to get smarter over time.
Wondering what Smart Compose is? It’s an AI-powered feature that guesses what words you will write next. Apparently, it’s already saving people from collectively typing over 1 billion characters per week. As of April 2019, Smart Compose is available on all Android devices and soon it will come to iOS.
To use Smart Compose, simply use the Gmail app to compose a message. As you type, suggestions will appear in dull text. Swipe to fill out the suggestion.
The more you use Smart Compose, the more it will learn about the words you use, making it even more powerful. It’s essentially like a more powerful auto-correct built into your email client.
