Gmail lab plugin to helps identify the right email recipients

You sure don’t want to miss this 2 useful ‘Bob’ Gmail lab plugin. It’s there to assist you selecting the accurate email recipients list whenever you’re composing an email.

Don’t forget Bob - Once you pick some email recipients, Gmail suggests more people you might want to include based on the groups of people you email most often. - Unlike Outlook where we can create distribution list to include the list of email address, Gmail does not have that feature. You tend to memorize the email address, or list down it somewhere else. This is where this lab came in handy, it will remind you to include the list of people that met condition described above, in case you missed them.

Got the wrong Bob? - Doh, have you ever addressed an email too quickly, and included Bob (your boss) instead of Bob (your friend) by accident? If you’re emailing more than two people at once, Gmail will check if you meant to include Bob Smith rather than Bob Jones based on the groups of people you email most often. - I bet you have experienced this before,  I just wish Outlook to have this feature as well!

Gmail introduce Filter Import/Export feature

You might already familiar with Gmail’s filter, some sort like set of rules for your email. Now you have multiple filters set up on your Gmail, what else can you do with it?

Apparently Google has an idea , so they introduce  Filter Import/Export feature that allow you to do something with your filter such as  :

  • Download all your filters. If you’re using POP or IMAP to get backup copies of your mail messages, now you can include your filters too.
  • Share filters with other people. If you have a set of filters that is especially good at organizing particular kinds of mail that others also receive, you can now make those filters available to them.
  • Temporarily “disable” a set of filters by exporting them and then deleting them. To “reenable” them, just re-import them from the file you exported.
  • If you’re comfortable editing XML, you can make new filters that are similar to existing filters. Export the old ones, edit the resulting XML file, and import it back again. For more information about modifying these XML files, see Gmail Labs user group for Filter import/export.
