>>>Go Further: Gmails Have Extra Options
If you are receiving email in your Gmail Inbox, you will have a few extra options that are
specific to Gmail. You will be able to archive an email as well as send it to Trash. You will also
be able to mark an email as important, mute the email conversation, report an email as spam, and
report an email as a phishing scam. When you mute a conversation, you will no longer see any
emails in that conversation (or email thread). For more information on printing emails, and an
explanation on what an important email is, see the notes and Go Further sidebars later in the
chapter.
>>>Go Further: How Do I Print Emails?
When you choose to print an email, the print dialog enables you to choose to print the email to a
PDF, which turns the email into a Portable Document Format (PDF) file, or to print the email to
any printers you have previously connected to Google Cloud Print using your desktop Chrome
web browser. To learn more about how to connect your printers to your Google Cloud Print
account, look at the instructions at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1069693?hl=en.
What Is Important?
Gmail tries to automatically figure out which of the emails you receive are important. As it
learns, it might sometimes be wrong. If an email is marked as important but it is not important,
you can manually change the status to "not important." Important emails have a yellow arrow
whereas emails that are not important have a clear arrow. All emails marked as "important" are
also given the Priority Inbox label.
What Happens to Your Spam or Phishing Emails?
When you mark an email in Gmail as spam or as a phishing scam, two things happen. First, it
gets a label called Spam. Second, a copy of that email is sent to Gmail's spam servers so that they
are now aware of a possible new spam email that is circulating around the Internet. Based on
what the servers see for all Gmail users, they block the emails that have been marked as spam
and phishing emails from reaching other Gmail users. So the bottom line is that you should
always mark spam emails because it helps all of us.
Customize Gmail App Settings
You can customize the way the Gmail app works, and you can also customize how each independent
email account functions.
