What Is IFTTT4:40
Add Email Receipts to a Google Drive Spreadsheet0:17
If you need to keep track of your online purchases, then this IFTTT recipe is one of the best. It scans your inbox, and any time it finds a receipt, it automatically adds it to a Google Drive spreadsheet so you can easily keep track of your purchases.
Send Attachments to Dropbox or Evernote0:25
If you get a lot of attachments in your Gmail, but you don't really use Google Drive, then it's kind of a pain to manually get those attachments over to a service you actually use. So, with either the Gmail to Dropbox or Gmail to Evernote recipes you can send all attachments to the service of your choice automatically as they come in.
Send Starred Emails to Evernote0:19
If you like to star important emails so you follow up on them later and you're an Evernote user, then this recipe is what you need. When you star an email, it creates a note in Evernote so you can work on it there. This way you'll actually follow up on it.
Leave a Transcribed Note to Yourself in Gmail0:17
Use Gmail to Find Your Phone0:13
Remind Yourself to Review Starred Emails0:16
Get SMS Alerts from Specific Email Addresses0:24
Turn Emails into Calendar To-Dos with a Label0:16
Turn Starred Emails Into Todo.txt Items0:19
Automatically Add Reservation Emails to Your Calendar0:12

Canned Response11:18
If you find yourself doing a lot of repetitive typing, the Canned Responses lab will save you serious time. Enable it in Gmail Labs, type in the messages you find yourself sending over and over again, and then send them in the future with the click of a button. You can even send them automatically using filters.
Apps Search1:00
If you use Google Docs or Google Sites, Apps Search (available in Labs) is a great feature that extends Gmail's search capabilities to those two apps. That way, when you search for something in Gmail, it'll also bring up matching search results from Docs and Sites below the Gmail ones. That way you can do all your Google-related work in one, consolidated tab.
Unread Message Icon1:25
Gmail's tab might light up when you have new messages, but if you want a quick glance at how many unread emails are in your inbox, Gmail Labs' Unread Message Icon will do the trick. It's perfect for keeping Gmail in a pinned tab, but make sure it doesn't distract you!
Undo Send0:30
We've all been there: you spend half an hour writing a strongly worded letter, hit send, and realize you probably shouldn't have done that. Thankfully, Gmail's Undo Send feature—available in Gmail Labs—is there to save you from yourself. After sending an email, Gmail will wait a predefined number of seconds (5, 10, 20, or 30, configurable in Gmail's settings) before sending. During this period, you can hit the "undo" button to take back your mistake.
Google Contacts Now Keeps Your Contacts Updated, Merges Duplicates1:51

Set Gmail As Your Default Mail Client1:31
For Chrome, Gmail should have asked you when this feature first went live, but if you said "no" at the time, you can go to chrome://settings/handlers and change the Gmail setting to apply it. In Firefox, you can find a similar setting in Options > Applications
Strip Your Emails of Annoying Text Formatting0:52
Host Files in Your Email Inbox for Easy Access1:30
These days, most of us have an account with a service like Dropbox for quick access to any files we want to store in the cloud. However, you can also attach them to a draft in Gmail and leave them there. That way, they're only a few clicks away, and you don't even need to open up a new tab to get them.
Keep Track of Your Home IP Address1:12
There are a lot of services that require you to know the IP address of one of your computers, like remote control, streaming your media, and more. The problem is, that IP can change from time to time, leaving you without a connection.
Copy and Paste Image Directly Into Messages1:04
If you share a lot of photos, you don't actually have to click that "Insert Image" button whenever you want to embed a picture in an email. In both Firefox and Chrome, you can just drag images right into messages and drop them there to insert them. You can also copy and paste images from the web, which is particularly handy if you don't want to download an image to your desktop first.
Sort Gmail Messages by Size and Get Rid of Data Hogs3:27
What do you do when your Gmail account storage is nearly full? You can either purchase additional storage space from Google – they charge $5 per year for 20 GB – or a cheaper alternative would be that you scan your Gmail mailbox for messages that contain large file attachments and delete (or forward) all the bigger messages and recover precious space. You can use Google Scripts inside Google Docs to find all the space-hogging attachments inside Gmail in 2 minutes.
Here’s how you can get started Sorting Sizes0:39
