If you’re a former Outlook user who is just getting used to Gmail, you’ll notice that things are a little bit different. While we recommended embracing the differences between the two, we also have a few tips to help make the transition a little bit easier.
- Turn off Conversation View – By default, Gmail groups messages together based on the subject off the email. If you want each message to be separate from the conversation, you’ll need to turn off conversation view.
- Turn on Preview Pane Lab – This lab is designed to make your Gmail inbox appear more like the traditional Outlook view, grouping your messages into one column with a preview window to quickly see the contents of a message.
- Use search to sort messages – Sorting messages in Gmail is based completely on search, something Google knows a little bit about. Use search operators, or the dropdown at the top of your screen, to quickly find the right messages.
